Guys,

Now what???!!!! Crap, the hotel I am going to stay in only offers Valet parking? I know of all the horror stories so what can I do to 'protect' myself?? It's not a bad hotel... 4+ stars but still, idiots are everywhere

Ideas?

Call the manager of the hotel and tell them you are not comfortable letting valet park your car as you have had problems in the past and don't want to ruin your trip. See if they will allow you to self park or to keep it up in the front.

I would not let valet park your car though

ride with the valet. same when you want it out, walk to the car and call them to bring it around. you are standing at the jeep waiting for him.

Great tips! I think I'll ride with him down.... and up. I'm sure they will be WTF? I may be the first guy to do this!!

That way, I can record the mileage too.

This is the challenge. Most 'high' end hotels offer this service because it gives you the perception that you are at a 4/5* property

Try and get a spot where they won't need to move it, you keep the key.

Ride with them and after they take off put a Club on the steering wheel so you know they won't be driving it.

it records all sorts of data like top rpm, 0-60, top speed,
