Tot agree bud..This is an extremely cool gadget they took regular HUD quite few steps fwd, since regular HUD is now available on new C-class models.. (Saw new Hyundai w/400hp it's HUD is VERY slick, the multi colors displayed these days vs ancient Green only) YouTube is better than actual TV these days lol...

The absolutely best part wasn't even mentioned. At the very end, the valet appears to part way to close to the wall. Yep, sure enough he backs up, shuts the car off, and walks to the front bumper and looks closely at the front bumper. Why would you even do that if you didnt bump the wall. You wouldn't. So therefore he did. I do valet mine at times, but do worry about things like that too. I usually tip a $5 when they take it, at least I feel better thinking they will respect it a little more, hoping for another decent tip at the end.
(Also, loud exhaust helps prevent this to a degree. They won't mash it if they think you will hear it)
I recently told a friend with a Bentley ---- He goes to the same restaurant about 1 time a month and valets it. After I found out he gave the valet $2-3 of ones total and at the end of the night, I said he might not want to know what those valets do to cars the next time. Being cheap and all. He honestly thought they wouldn't treat his car bad the next time, didnt realize someone can spit on their hands then wipe them all over the steering wheel, stick gum under the seat, power brake the car wearing out tires and brakes, hit speed bumps fast, etc..... All things you likely would never know but is hard on the car and things you would never do. All to save 5-10$.
Wish we had a member who has valet cars before who could chime in. Oh, the stories they could tell.......
