Why I don't trust any "valet" service with my car..(longish rant)
I won't waste your time, just wanted to put a PSA out there. I was at a Airport Park and Shuttle last night where a friend of mine works. There is a new guy there that just gives you the creeps upon first impression. While I was walking in I noticed a nicely done R32 in line to be parked for a week while the owner was on vacation..
Long story short, the scetchcase gets a funny grin on his face and slurs out "oo R32.." I proceed to watch him back out of the spot, and start what seemed like a normal jaunt to the car corral for long stays.. He stops goes in reverse and proceeds to bounce the rev limiter and pop the clutch into first..hits the limiter..pops into second.. to end with romping on the brakes extremely hard.
He walked around the corner, thinking that my girlfriend and I were impressed. I told him, "If I ever caught you doing that to my car, I would run up, pull you out of the driver seat and kick the **** out of you.." He said "it's cool I do it all the time" he said he "has to take advantage of the nice cars that come though the shuttle service.." what a moron.. and looking down the line of cars next on his list was a sliver emaculate 2001 S8..
And thats why I don't trust 98% of the general public with my car. End.
Cheers,
Joel

well it depends on your level of effort, i guess...
a call probably wont do squat, but you could contact a local news show...they love the hidden cam, protect the public crap.
im not saying "I" would do this, mostly because im lazy. lol.

haha I had the same thought process..just don't have the time.. I might just call and Scream
for a min or two.. that might at least get the moron in trouble. I just kept thinking about that S8 waiting to be abused.
