Wow, that's messed up. I hope they get caught and fired at the least. At first I thought it was a Euro valet from their accents but the plates dont look like Euro plates. Thats quite a bump they are flying over, not to mention the few feet their dragging up and down. :: idiots, my friend actually works as a valet at an apartment complex in Santa Monica. No worries though he doesn't do anything like that, they have A-list clients there. I'm guessing this video was from some shady downtown 10$ valet deal.

That shouldn't be why you're scared - it should be why you NEVER VALET YOUR CAR.

this is why whenever I valet my car, I always go to a valet that has a lot that I can see them park and retrieve my car.

although it does frustrate me when they cant find reverse, even though it says it on the knob.

Well, owning a Mustang and having to drive it over half the winter so far I can kind of see how they would not be able to find reverse. I sometimes accidentally throw it into 6th and then when I start to roll forward I realize I probably look like a retard.

I would never valet my car either. At worse I will drop my date off and have to walk a couple blocks. I don't like valet because I am picky about the parking spot I have as well... some door just seem to fly open on occasion.

ps. I can't see the video because I am at work but I am picturing Ferris Bueller... am I close?

A couple of grinning morons recording themselves via cellphone drag-racing a black Z4 roadster in a parking garage, ignoring the speedbumps while they're at it.

Oh... ouch. I hope the owner is on this site... it would be good to see those idiots punished for their stupidity.

i would never valet my car. too many horror stories and i don't trust anyone.

a few years ago, we were at a family dinner party in Brooklyn. We had the car valeted and the valet attendants were young kids. At the time, my brother had a Z4 3.0. As we went outside to smoke a cigarette, we saw his car FLYING by. When the kid came back it took about 4 of us to hold my brother back from killing this kid. Can't trust anyone in this world.

Where's the joy in having some pimple-faced prepubescent park your ride? No thanks... I'd rather valet my own car.

That's just absolutely retarded, theyre gunning it over maybe a 40-50ft stretch and going hard on the brakes while turning to avoid the wall...

It sounds bad, but I hope one day they slam a car into a wall so people will know wtf those a**holes are doing with people's cars.

That's disrespect for other people's property and if I ever found out they were doing that to my car, I'd try to get them on vandalism charges and sue the company they work for. (Not like I'd ever let someone valet it, just saying).

I'm picky about who i let drive my car....so far only one person drove it to my satisfaction.

Even letting the guys have it to put new tires on is like i'd rather give birth then give someone else the keys.

Black Sapphire is the prettiest.

Yeah, whenever I get stuff done to my car I try and stick around and make sure nobody takes a joy ride. Or I just comment that I noted the odometer, that usually works.
