Default First Valet Parking Job tonight

The valet guy was just drooling over the Sprint..tells me..."Dude....Ferris Bueller's Day Off..." Needless to say, prominent eye candy space given to the car...too bad there's no Valet Button to prevent the infamous Ferris Bueller scene....I did make note of mileage though...just in case. 367 miles and loving it...still breaking in.

Default Do people Pre-tip to assure a front and center space or should the car speak for itself and just

leave a generous tip on the backside...I've never known if its just the car or is it greasing the palm that gets the choice space.

Default I don't give a rat's *** what other cars they valet..

I aint paying for those other cars. My cars may be cheap to others, but $55k and $73k cars aren't cheap to me.

I do park in parking garages, but I usually pay the valet to let me self park. Often the rules don't allow it, but I tip them enough to bend those rules.

You can call it an Audi like its a Ford or something if you want, but it's a luxury car, and to be worth its cost, it has to look it, unlike a cheap American or Japanese car.

Default Yeah, wel know, but let's get real, they are the exception

At least in the USA..

Anyway, i think my point was clear. We are talking about a $73k car.

Default I always pre-tip, but couldn't care less whether they they park it in the front, back or middle

as long as they take care of the car. I always figure a pre-tip makes them think you are a decent person and that, hopefully, makes them take better care of my car.
