Default how do you sleep at night ?

ok im assuming many of you have homes and a garage for you S2k, but me i live on a college campus and i have both my cars up here (my Impreza RS and my S2k ). I JUST got my S2k two days ago and since then i have not been able to sleep without running outside late at night to make sure its all there or untouched... i park in the fathest parking lot under the farthest lamp pole so no one in teh right mind would park next to me and my car isnt in the dark. I guess i love my car too much

anyways just sharing how i feel about her. Picked her up for 17,400 with 28,500 miles even on her. its a 2000 NFR black leather. Ill share picks later.

Hey, it's a tough job taking a car like the S2k to college. It's a good thing that you care about your car.

Take pride in your car!

I use to have this problem too. It was for months. One time I woke up in the middle of the night and my alarm was going off, I was half asleep and looked through my blinds and imagined that someone was there. I get dress and I am calling 911 as I walk out the door and there was no one there. Man I was losing it and hung up the phone as the operator came on. I had to park at the street cause the driveway that I lived at had a crazy slope on it. And couldn't park it in the garage.

All I have to say is get a nice alarm and have good insurance.

I guess it all depends on what school you go to and how safe your school is. I wouldn't worry too much about it...I park my car outside in my apartment complex and nothing has happened to it (knock on wood).

That's amazing you have two cars in college

CAR COVER. Not much more to say. You'd be amazed at how little attention people will pay to a vehicle that they can't see well.

Speaking of which, there was a commercial not long ago of a guy pulling a car cover off his hyundai or something, but the funny part was that the cover had some crappy car painted onto it. WE NEED THOSE!

Man I have to give it to you guys for daring to park your cars overnight on a college campus w/o a garage. I mean I still go to college and I know it's safe during the day when i'm there but I would never park my car there overnight on any circumstances. But If I were to park my car like that i'd throw a car cover over it just to reassure me that vandalizing is less likely to happen.

Is it really worth having an S2000 while you're in school if you have to worry about it all the time?

get one of those camera mounts where your windscreen goes and hook up a wireless feed to a 24/7 monitoring station in your room.. u could get a rotating camera.. at my office we just got sonys new video conferencing camera that will lock onto movement and follow it around

or just get some pills and knock yourself out at night

please disreguard previous advice and proceed to get a car cover
