The "high end" drivers that you describe don't care about giving their car to a valet because they are almost all rental cars (i.e., leased).

Not only that, if you feel the need for a Gallardo right now, to replace the one the valet just banged up, all it takes is walking into a dealership. Same for any new product. Heck, same for a GT3. If I drove one, I would probably happily give the valet the key. But my 930? The product of a long search for an unmolested, non-custom stereo drillings and wiring, non-sunroof grand prix white car and a six month long restoration? Find one exactly like it? Nah, the trouble to benefit ratio just does not coincide with valet parking. Price of car is irrelevant. A perfect scenario would be a guy in a Ferrari 430 and behind another guy in a pristine 512 BBi pulling up to a valet. The guy in the BBi would have to be nuts to valet park. Then there are other variables like body parts availability, wait, etc... Nah, I'll park it myself unless I'm driving some run of the mill Ferrari 430 or GT3. Just exepensive bic shavers in my opinion. There is a difference between just spending money, or spending money after long searches and waits. That's IF the parts are available.
