so my question is:
does any of you guys(who are still college students) have your s2000 on campus? and how safe do you feel?

 

Well, I park it at Campus everyday, and Ive never once worried about it. I live off campus in an apartment complex, and I have my own garage, so Im obviously not worried about that one bit either. However, I do go to a small school in the south (2300 undergrad students) and it seems I know mostly everyone there. So in short, not worried one bit. When I did live on campus, I had my 99 Civic Si parked at the dorms everyday, night, that I was there and nothing ever happened to it either.

I'd think twice about bringing the car with you. I live in an apartment by campus with the car parked in the street and i throw a cover on the car everyday and ppl still mess with it. I've been hit twice by idiots that can't park, and my mirror is messed up from ppl slamming it.

 

I've seen cars that are more expensive than the S2000 on campus. I wouldn't be too worried.

a tad.. you never know when a jelous kid could come around and key our car.

 

depends on the college. are there similar level cars around?

 

I take my car up to campus, but I definitely worry about it. I go to Berkeley and parking near the engineering department is pretty iffy. Spaces are tight and lots of "lovetaps" occur. I don't park in tight areas and don't leave the car for more than half to an hour tops. I personally think college students are among the worst parkers because everyone's in a rush to class and parking is nigh impossible to find, so chances are taken with tight spots.

Actually, high schoolers are worse. haha. Had a taillight on the family car cracked way back in highschool the day I took it for two hours to register for classes. Stupid SUV, gave it tons of room too.

 

I think we all need to post where we go.

At my university there is also an AP2 there. I feel like people think I'm some kind of rich kid and shit when I'm driving through campus, most people are either car-less or driving beaters.

At my community college, there are two other AP1s I think. Most people there work and car afford a car, and are either ghetto-fabulous, or driving a decent daily.

I go to William and Mary in VA and a CC near by. Both are in upper-middle-class areas and I feel comfortable about leaving it there during class, but not much longer. I wouldn't leave it around the dorms for too long. oh.... I live at home and it is garage kept.

 

i live near campus, as in not dorms but still within walking distance. i park here very rarely, and usually leave my car at my parents' house which is 15 minutes away. funny, because my neighbors have an rx-8 and a 350Z, but both are auto, and both are...not clean. they don't really take good care of their cars so they don't have a problem with it. i'd rather not take a chance, especially since i don't have a hardtop.

 

I am living in the dorms, and I keep mine in a low travel parking lot, parked in a wide space on the end with a cover over it. Haven't had any problems yet; I think the cover prevents it from attracting attention...
