Man, if it was me I would've lost my mind already, especially 2 cars.
I have enough trouble with my S sitting in my driveway instead of a garage
but the more you worry the more it'll make you crazy, first hand experience here lol.
Luckily I recently found a garage not too far from my house, but I can guarantee I'll be checking up on it very often
Sleeping pills and ford escort car cover sound good

well im goin to order a car cover today for it. I park my 94 Impreza L-RS cause its my daily/project. Its what i use to autoX so the suspension has all been done adn i took the L 1.8l motor and swapped in a 2.5l RS motor and a bunch of other mods. the S i think im either goin to cover it and sleep or get a storage space and leave it there.
as to the remark im lucky to have 2 cars at college. My impreza is done and paid for all by me (i bought it was i was 16 im 19now) and the S i just got 2 days ago which was financed through my name as well. Ive worked since i was 13 and learned the value of a dollar and the importance of saving for the things you really want. And i have nothing but Respect for the S in the two days of driving it i havent even brought it up to 7500 rpm....even with all the autoX time and all im still somewhat timid with the car, you hear alot of people toss out the word "raw" power with sport cars but the S is like the definition i think.

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!

seems like so many of our peers have a hard time with that concept. best of luck with both your rides, the s2000 was a fabulous decision! don't be afraid of the last 1500 spins.. its the f20c's favorite place to be

I like my car a lot, but it wouldn't keep my up at night. It's a $17,000 car..
People care about their cars at different levels. To some... "it's just a car!" to other freaks like me, it's more than a car
too much information!

I parked my '01 outside (was renting at the time), but it was a fairly safe neighbourhood. I did install a Compustar to give myself piece of mind.
Luckily now I'm a home owner with a garage, so she's safe.
