I Have An Idea For Valet Parking!

Ok so my 10 year anniversary is Friday Night. And I'm dying to show off my ride down town. I live in the cypress area and my wife loves to go to Sambucas in Downtown Houston. It's an awesome jazz club / restaurant with some excellent food by the way. So I've reserved a special table and all that garbage.
But whats most important is making sure my ride doesnt get trashed by some Jerk off who's parking the cars six inches away from each other in the parking garage. Nothins better than showing up at a nice jazz club lookin superfly with your smokin hot wife and your Bad Ass Camaro all tricked out and lookin fine. Come on you have to enjoy life carefully and have some fun.
So my Idea was to give the guy a 20 spot, and show him the twenty he'll get if he'll park it in a good spot for me, and let him know there are 6404 miles on the odometer. And hope for the best.

Please guys help me out here. Any Valets out there?

No Valet is driving my car. I'll pay them to let me park it first.

I really like the halos on your car...

Anyways, back on topic, It depends on who and where, if you're going to a really nice restaurant, than most likely, they've seen and parked there share of nice cars and yours wont be anything special.
If it's just a mediocre place than well... Personally, Id park the car myself and just walk.

I got pulled over for the headlights. He saw my blues so I switched them over to white before he saw. He asked for my drivers license and insurance.
Then he said hey i thought those were ble and I flipped the switch for him. Then he started askin me all about the lights and how I did it and then I showed him the after burner tail lights. Then he said I dont ever give tickets for lighting he just wanted to make sure I wasn't holding or drinking. Pretty Cool. Thanks Harris County Presinct 4 for being so cool!

Friend of mine used to be a valet so I know the kind of shenanigans that take place as soon as you turn your back. Flashing your cash is a sure fire way to make sure your car will be abused, it just shows arrogance. Honestly tip the kid and tell him you'll park it yourself.

Personally, no joyrider will ever set foot in my car.

here is what you do.
PM me on when you will be there I will make sure I am there when you pull up dressed all nice I do the whole valet thing open the door for you wife then I respectfully drive your car out and sit in it to make sure it doesn't get molested. When you are about to leave head to the bathroom give me a quick ring I pull your car back up to the front door do the whole valet thing and away you go and your wife never knows the difference and your car is safe and unmolested

I wouldn't let anyone drive my car. I don't think the 20 bucks or odo thing will make a difference.
