    It depends on where I am. Most of the valets know me so in a small town like I'm in it's usually not an issue. So yes generally I do.

    Usually F cars are parked in front of the establishment (unless there is no such area) and valets know owners don't love to valet so they just allow you to keep your keys, otherwise NEVER

    I über.

    Took my CS to dinner last week at a place I always go. For some moronic reason I LET the valet back the car in a space right in front. He scraped the fin things on the back on the curb.

    Stupid me

    Never.... I have had the valet curb a viper wheel, rub the 911 against a post and one tear the front spoiler off my SL55 from a parking curb. I no longer let any valet touch any of my cars.

    I do, but I have to know the establishment. It helps if you live in an area that's accustomed to high end cars. Mines on the low end of cars that pull up to most nicer restaurants in SoCal. lol

    I always tip them $20.00 up front, and it gets left in front spaces. No issues ever. Knock on wood.

    Omg. I usually valet and let them keep the keys, and they park it in front. Maybe not such a great idea anymore :(

    Never, no matter what. I would pay them to allow me to park it out front and I keep the keys if it was possible.

    I don't even valet my everyday Honda S2000, much less my 360.

    Even my wife will not valet her Hyundai.

    There is a restaurant out of town we wanted to try because we heard it was quite good. We drove for a 1 1/2 hours to get to it and found it was valet only parking and could not find parking within a few blocks...ate dinner at McDonalds and came home, we still laugh about it. No valet for me, regular car or Ferrari.

    When I valet I park myself and hand over the keys.

    Never. I pre-arrange to park out front and make their establishment look better. They should pay me, but I usually have to pay.

    Nope. I ask "where can I park it"? Usually get a spot up front.
