They are having fun. They aint hurting anyone. Whats the problem?
 
Thier cars, if they don't harm anybody I can't see a problem.
Better than the Scrotes over here who nick them and then go an burn them out!
 
Not so sure I'd be as quick to condone the Parking Valets. I suspect plenty of us would be plenty peeved if those were our cars...
 
The valet parkers are out of order. Not their cars to play with. Would anyone on here happily stand by and watch them do that to their car or is it the not knowing that makes it okay.

The other two are only damaging what it theirs which is their right as long as it doesn't affect other people.
 
Jeez!!! Imagine if one of those cars was yours and you saw the video!!

I think I'd be inclined to sue the Hotel...

But hopefully it was just a set up...
 
Surprised that a 2 litre w124 has enough power to get the rear wheels spinning , Eastern Bloc hillbillies .... Probably stolen from over here the week before ..

Nothing happens at all in the video with the SL with the giant blower motor ? :dk: it's quite cool though , i'd like one.

Again , nothing happens in the valet parking video :dk: i was expecting an epic crash into a pillar or something ?
 
I would certainly sue the hotel, and the little ****s concerned.

That is why I ALWAYS park the car myself - I just don't trust anyone else to drive it.
 
The first clip is almost certainly from an ex Soviet Block country as has been said. It has internet posting references dating back to Nov 1999 so the car would have been less than 10 years old back then! :eek:The SL with the blower would almost certainly have a Chevy short block under that hood so is already a bit of a "mongrel" Why any sane American would entrust their expensive import to a parking valet is probably an indication of the scant regard many hold their cars in.:wallbash:
 
All good fun, especially the cabrio with the heritage grill.

Does anyone really believe they are valet car parking?
 
I haven't got any problems with the first two clips. The guy with the SL looks like he has a keen sense of humour, and I've seen much worse for the sake of standing out from the crowd for a Le Mans weekend.

Does anyone really believe they are valet car parking?

Ferris Bueller's Day Off comes to mind... Iirc the manager of the hotel in question was alerted to the problem by complaints of burnt smells in the cabin, and worn tyres from customers who'd used the valet service.
News story here

Quote taken from link:

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - The video is being called appalling and unreal. It shows a valet at the Hyatt Hotel in downtown St. Louis doing donuts, peeling out, burning out, revving engines and spinning tires in expensive cars, without the owners ever knowing it. Kyle O'Brien didn't know anything had happened to his 2004 Dodge until he saw his car being abused on FOX 2 Tuesday night, "I'm not freaking out about it, but it isn't that funny," says OBrien. "I would just think a valet service at a nice hotel would have to have more responsibility."

Someone calling himself "valet underground" posted dozens of videos on YouTube, showing fancy cars being driven to the extreme in a parking garage about six months to a year ago.

The general manager of the Hyatt hotel downtown, formerly the Adams Mark, which sits in the shadow of the Gateway Arch, confirms it happened in his garage. Tire marks are still visible on the pavement. He says the Hyatt fired this valet company, which has been identified as AAA Valet, from Atlanta, Gerogia, before he even knew of the video. He says the hotel replaced them with a St. Louis based valet company, and once he saw the video, he called AAA Valet to alert them to their employees' conduct.

FOX 2 left messages for AAA Valet at the home office in Atlanta, but it was after regular business hours and no one returned the call.

O'Brien says he stayed at the Hyatt for one night about eight months ago. He says when the valet brought him his car, he asked him if it was for sale. O'Brien says he also thought it was strange when the valet commented on the nice tires he had. Then when he got in the car to drive away, he noticed there was a problem, "It drove really funny," O'Brien recalls. "I had to replace the spark plugs and the distributor when I got home because they were not working any more."

He says he was not suspicious that the valet had taken it on a joy ride. "No, it's nothing I would ever consider at all," he says.

Tuesday night, the videos showing the parking garage antics were removed from YouTube.
