  |  Brooklyn valet hoons kills Audi-A8 -
02-04-2008, 09:24 PM
It's the worst case scenario. Anyone that's ever left their car with a valet has had this flash in their mind right as the grinning attendant takes the keys and assures that he'll "take care of it." It's the oddly specific fear that the valet is going to take your car on the road, drive it far too hard, and smash it into pieces. Well for one Audi A8 owner, that fear has been realized...I think.    Last night, a member of the Vortex for all things VW supposedly gave his beloved Audi A8 over to a Brooklyn valet attendant, but instead of getting the car back in the condition he left it, he found it totaled. Currently, details are slim -- and completely unverifiable -- but according to the member of the forum, the big German luxo sedan was being raced for about 45min prior to biting the sidewalk and sealing its fate.

If I owned that A8 and that little brat did that too my car, I'd want this dumb f*** to remain in jail for a long time. Preferably amongst hardcore criminals who have not been with a woman in years and badly need...uh..."release it". Serves him right.  |

Thats why I park my car right in front, Hydrant or not, and if i have too valet I park myself give the guy a $20 , tell him too watch it, and take my keys with me. I lived in Brooklyn all my life, wicked city ever. Dont know how they trashed it that bad, but nontheless you cant ever trust valet. Your better off parking on your own. |

(..........) I've been released for Good Behavior. I will not say anything that will take me back. I started fidgeting in my seat moments ago thinking my 'second nature' thoughts....but I remembered my own consequences of that, and will act as if this is Okay to Let Go.....(gagging my self)-- Somebody Pray for that Valet  . |
