Where do you guys park your car at work?

Drive it and enjoy it, who knows what happens tomorrow. It's not an exotic.

I love my Fiat Abarth as daily driver. No way would I want to drive my Black M5 to work everyday as I work literally right next to the Pacific Ocean and the parking lot to my job is outside with no covered parking with trees everywhere. I love it when I park my Abarth at work or anywhere in town and feel so safe knowing that no one will door ding me because the Fiat is so tiny. Lol!

I have kept my E91 as my daily driver but driving the E91 just makes me want to drive the F10 more.

I am very reluctant to have the M5 valet'd. they are very aware of unique cars to valet and having done it when i was younger, there is no doubt they are just like the bmw service guys and will screw around when possible. there are some luxury apartments in boston that are valet-only for residents and would never consider living there because of this.

Seems like bumps and dings annoy you far more than having your car sit at home...

If I ever have to valet - lot, restaurant, whatever - I tip generously when I drop the car off and get assurance that the car will be up front and away from others. No sense in tipping after the fact. If you can, find the senior guy and tip him $100 at the start of each month and I guarantee that he will baby your car. That is a lot of extra coin for him and he knows the tap will turn off the moment there is the smallest imperfection in the car.

I agree. Tip up front esp. with the senior guy. Hell, even take the guy out for a ride so he doesn't do the same without you. Lastly, you could buy one of those teddy bears with a camara in it and put it in the back window just to make sure.
