It's probably not going to hurt it..... I drive my car a lot harder than that.

I would be more worried about him bumping the nose, porbably not used to driving something with that long of a hood and nose.

Making a mountain out of a molehill........ Next time just park it yourself... Problem solved.

Wait...is the audio recording feature really disabled in cars sold in California? That would suck.

It's my understanding that GM through a firmware update was disabling audio for valet mode nationwide. And I agree, it sucks.

Bigger Question,

Why the Hell would you Valet the car anyway...??

mjw930

I can think of a number of reason like I'm dressed up for a nice dinner and don't want to shlep 1/2 mile back from a parking garage in my nice cloths, I can afford it and my Corvette is just a car........

Sorry, but I don't worship at the god of Corvette.......

Never-Enough

Reason #87934875634 to not let others touch your stuff. If I have to take the Speed6 in, I will put the valet map in & you can't get the car over 3k w/that map. F people.

Will your clothes melt if you have to get some exercise?

Only in Valet mode. The sound works just fine when you are using the system as designed.

It's not illegal to record video in a public place, or a private owned space in this instance. It is questionable in some states to record audio without consent and that's why Chevy changed the way it records in valet mode only without audio.

I don't have a c7, I just wanted to offer some insight on the valet process. The guy checks the front of the car possibly to check for a plate/prior damage to write on tag for the car. Also, a "valet mode" that would limit the car to 35 mph would suck because places where I have valeted often times had a satellite parking area, sort of like how dealerships have an extra lot to store cars, and that lot usually requires traveling at a higher rate of speed than 35 mph to be safe. Oh, OP, I used to valet at the Triangle in Costa Mesa, and to get to their satellite lot you had to go a hell of a lot faster than 35 mph (it's right where the 55 ends).

Also, unfortunately, valets suck! We had a few people who did not know how to drive stick and they would, in front of the customer, crunch gears and stall. I've been part of a group that has thrown events at segerstorm as well, and that lot is a lot better than the cramped loading docks we would stuff cars in at the triangle when the parking garage got full.

Yes we would mess around with cars, some people worse than others, and we also have had unfortunate accidents. The company I worked for once had a parking garage have 4 accidents in ONE night! One time one of our drivers scraped the top of a truck in a low clearance building. Never. Valet. Your. Car. Seriously.

I have a civic si and even the porter at the dealership couldn't drive my car properly. Oh and that note, I am part of a civic forum and I thought we were bad at treating each other with respect, lol.

Just saw this story on my Yahoo! homepage and wondered if it was a CF member. I'd be supremely pissed, but I would never valet my car in the first place so I guess it's a moot point.

Your video also on Fox News homepage......congrats and glad your ride not harmed?

If anything, valets will start to learn that they may be recorded in a Vette and may be a little less likely to do any foolish.

Just saw it on FoxNews as well.. Came straight here before even reading the story because I knew it had to be a member on here.

Very simple. No valet parking, even in my C5. If I have to valet, I have 2 other vehicles to choose from.

Motohead279

I will never valet my car if I don't have to, but if I ever did by necessity I will tell them that I have the PDR in my car and they are being recorded.

scottjays

This video was featured in the ABC News ipad app. Amazing how quickly this got,picked up
I'm sure the valet is not happy

dcowles

I was amazed too. It will be on ABC's Good Morning America tomorrow morning.

AllFlash

Your A CELEB! And I called it right off.... eheheh It was only a given, especially with the press the C7 has been getting for every mishap, accident etc...

You should get paid a royalty it's gone nationwide .
