Default bad news for a first post

So after getting valet to park my baby for a tattoo convention in Denver.... (there was no parking and had to get to the booth ASAP... so valet was the last option) 4 hours later I had to go somewhere and when they bring my car back I smell burnt clutch through out the entire car entry way.....won't go into gear, and I'm p*****!!!!!!!!!

Long and short, they claim liabilty and I get a new clutch out of the deal via insurance claim..........and maybe a little extra $ left over for some other goodies too

Haha wow. I thought valet guys were supposed to know how to drive a stick? Sorry to hear that but at least you get a new clutch out of it... see if you can get the insurance people to go stage 3 LOL

If it won't go into gear, how did the valet bring your car to you?
