Every sports or premium car owner worst valet nightmare. You hand your key fob over to the smiling and unassuming parking valet to park while you jet off to a concert. Next thing you know the valet either crashes your new sports toy, totals it or worst hoons it. For one California 2015 Corvette C7 owner, a parking valet at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts tested out how fast this Corvette's owner's torch red pride could go in an enclosed parking garage.
It was all caught on tape through the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) situated on the top of the Corvette Stingray's driver window. Unluckily for this valet who was subsequently given his pink slip by the valet company, the owner had switched on the PDR's Valet Mode before handing over the keys. We can see that this thoughtless valet had chosen the wrong car to test out while on the job. However, the owner almost got caught in a legal snafu by almost illegally recording someone in the state of California. According to reports, GM pushed out a firmware update that disabled audio recording due to it being illegal in 13 states to record someone on video with audio without their consent.
Now let this be a lesson to other valets. Don't power test someone's sports car while on the job.
