Anyone who has ever worked for a valet service can probably share countless horror stories.
The valet service at Holt Renfrew downtown is atrocious. I watched the two idiots working there rip up and down the 20 meters of parking space revving some poor guys F430 like mad.

hahah if someone did that to me car i'd notice right away, you can feel it.


some tuning programs, like Osiris has a valet mode which doesn't let you rev above 2.5k etc.

I worked at a valet for 2 years. I got to drive some pretty special cars.

Horror story time.

Yes, its true, but not all the time. It depends who takes your car, but usually the young guys who are new are the ones who do things like this. Old guys who have been there a long time don't care to drive like that. I've seen an cold X5 started and gunned to the redline immediately and spat out blue smoke from the rear. I've seen a new Porsche 911 parallel parked into a curb minute after the owner left it with us. Ever gone from third to second at 100km/h in a Mazdaspeed MX-5 be mistake? Or crashed a Merc CL 65?

Or more recently reversed into the departure level at VYR?
