Doing contract work as a valet

Well, i got this part time gig on the side doing valet for special events.

ten an hour so not bad and lots of jobs but no committment perfect for school.

Heres a selection of the about 100 vechiles I parked

Porchce Carrara GT2
Cadilliac STS
Too many bmw's to name
a couple AMG merc's
lots of suv's but those were no fun.
and some older jags that had a decent feel to em.

after redlining first gear on every one of these cars it made it real difficult getting back into my auto civic, but hey, and ten an hour plus some pretty decent tips, a job ill definatly keep through university

ok your...






to be fair most cars had tiptronic that wouldn't let you do anything too dangerous.

also drove a few saab's, must say was impressed

a lot of the times I dont even know exactly what kind of car im driving because we park in reverse and were expected to run to and from cars for customers [part of the show for tips ] and dont have tim e to check out hte badge

I had to start this one mercedes benz, and I figured the key was vw style where it flipped out, so I pressed this litte button that said push and the key wouldn't fold out, then I relized it has that infrared ignition ****, haha made me feel like a real idiot.


FYI. Forget momo steering wheels, Mohagony (however its spelt) is where its at!

That's why I park my own car up to a mile away from the entrance, by itself, at the end of a row, half way on the striped area. NOBODY touches my car.

The only thing I hate about parking far from people, is that they can break into your sh**, and if your alarm goes off, not as many people will hear it, so if I am running in somewhere quick, I park between the most expensive cars I can find, preferably w/rims. Hondas\Acuras have respect most of the time. Like opening doors into your car, damnit.

Watch out bro because I've seen on Motor Trend once that their is this gadget you can buy and hook up to your car to actually find out how "hard" parking valet are toying with your car...That sh..t records how you drove the car once you past a certain RPM and you can take the info back to the hotel or whatever and sue for property abuse....so just stay safe.

i got my valet job through a friend of mine... He got it through his brother...His brother got through some friends he made at university. Story probably goes on and on but I didnt bother asking my friend and his brother
Maybe just look in the yellow pages for some valet companies and call them asking if they need some drivers.
