Nope, I've choose to park away from venues that had free mandatory valet before.

I prefer to pay and walk if I have to instead of letting someone touch my car.

only at the casino like Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun but they usually leave out for everyone to see because it is a higher end car

I valet when I can because #lazy.

I like to leave weird random items in the glovebox or center console when I do valet. That way I can tell if they did some snooping by the expression on their face or if they shake my hand or not.

No offense, because I own them too, but if you're BMW is a "higher end car", then you are at the wrong damn casinos.

Sometimes, when I'm in the city, I slip the Valet/doorman at one of the hotels near Water Tower a $10 to keep my car upfront. Usually works on the weekdays and in the morning

Didn't think you'd all feel this strongly about not using valet... Valet all the time, always have... End of the day, it's just a car... Plus, around these parts, M3/M4 is pretty much a Honda Accord... Whenever I leave the house, within 10 minutes I'll see a handful...

That said, never had an issue with utilizing valet... Back east, would rather parking garage / valet because I guarantee you that your chances of getting damage to your car from street parking is far higher than valet... Here in LA, even the farmer's market has valet parking... Sometimes it makes these kids days when they see you pull in and don't act like you're driving a koenigsegg... Most places I frequent like particular restaurants or even the gym will remember me and go out of their way to make sure nothing happens to my cars... Either parked up front or away from pedestrians... *shrugs - depends where you live I suppose... Not as many options for self parking in NYC or LA as it is... That and if you take care of them, they'll remember or leave it in some prime parking spot...

I'm not sure I would use airport valet... They kind of know you're not coming back for awhile...

I valeted at this one restaurant because it was pretty much required. I was happy for the delay after dinner, let that guy hork up his dinner/drinks before getting into the car!
