Prior Design Audi R8 US$13,600 damage at Valet Parking

This is crazy, I am not valeting my car anymore. To be honest I don't anyway. :)

From the article:
"After sitting behind the steering wheel, the hotel staff suffered a herniated vertebral disk and could no longer step out of the car without help. After approximately six police officers and eight rescue paramedics had virtually “stormed” the vehicle within the scope of the rescue operation that was launched, severe trails of damage were left on the interior fittings of the Audi that are refined with carbon, Alcantara and the most sophisticated nappa leather."

That's some seriously stiff suspension.

I think the owner did more damage to the car with questionable taste:
- wing (aka picnic table)
- gold wheels
- trim

Had a Valet curb my wheels on my 911 a couple of years back... even though shards of alloy were still stuck to the wheel and it was obvious which kerb they hit they denied liability and basically told me to 'do one'... I'll never let a valet near any of my cars again...

Most hotels of this nature do not allow you to park the car yourself no matter how much you kick off.
