See if there is a residential house near by your school and pay someone to use their garage if they aren't.......

I feel for you.

When I started graduate school last year, I was driving the S to school 5 days a week. I couldn't take it. I was always worried about my car (even with the cover), so I got a Scion xA as a beater.

I also got an alarm and the custom Seat Locks for my S, so I worry less now. I still worry, though. I used to worry about my seats getting stolen, now I worry mostly about vandalism, and a little about tow-stealing.

If you love your car, you're going to worry. Keep worrying about your car until your situation is better. It's a good thing. It'll keep you on your toes.

EDIT: I agree with WPS. A car cover is a signal to thieves that there is probably something good under there. Definnitely damned if you do, and damned if you dont!

Perhaps a car cover would work, if it didn't draw undue attention anyways. Nevertheless, it is just a car. I assume you have insurance? That is what it is for. Enjoy it for what it is, a material possession.

On my back. Can't sleep on my side too well, most of the time I lose circulation to my arm. Weird.

My car stays outside... My parents have all of their cars in the garage, so I get a carport!!!! (I'm still in HS.)

After threats to steal my seats and steering wheel (only universal parts worthwhile on little Civics), I've been awake every night!!!

I feel your pain!!!!!

Definitely sucks having to park outside. This is one of the main reasons why it took me so long to buy an S, no indoor parking
