Valet parking?

So my gf and I are about to go shopping. She wants to take her Integra so we can do valet parking since it's hard to find parking during the holidays. I say no, we should take my car since the roads are wet and it's safer but I don't wanna valet my car. So then she says "fine, then we'll take your car and valet". Hmm, just wondering if you guys ever valet your car and if anything bad happened to it?

If you have an AP you should flash the valet mode map.

The few times a year that I drive to work in SF, I bring my car to this parking garage where you have to hand over your keys. On one hand, there is a nice Corvette that parks there daily, and he trusts them. On the other hand, I saw a small dent above my (back then) rear Honda emblem, and never really figured out if they caused it....
