Whoa Joey you've driven and raced your car without having a driver's license yet? You're playing with fire there man!

I was lucky if I could afford a push bike when I was at school !

However, how about fitting an alarm like the Clifford that chirps when someone comes close but doesn't sound the horn, might just be enough to stop the jealous ones. Also avoid making enemies !

I drive my s2000 to high school and so far no one has done anything to it. I'm very happy about that. I don't want to sound pompous but it is the nicest car in the school, too, so at first i was really nervous to drive it to school. The positives of driving this car to school outway the bad.

Jay Li, yeah I have driven and raced my car. I never thought my parents would let me but I guess they have lightened up with it. They dont let me leave the city or anything but once i get my license Ill be everywhere. I am probably going to get the Clifford alarm system because you all talk so highly of it. I know it alarms pagers but all I have is a cell phone. Can i have it call my cell?. Thanks for all the input. I'm thinking about trying to park it as close as I can but the first 20 spots are reserved for Seniors who pay for it! So I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Eze8199..i know what you mean.. not beign concided in any way but I do also have the nicest car in the school and it had gotten me an ample amount of attention as well... mostly good.. however there are always the people who say "i think im tight"... "the haters"... but I guess i just better be the friendliest kid in the world for the next 8 months

Legally it isn't yours though is it. Is ur name on the registration and title, didn't think so. Eother way, wish I had that much luck/blessing/whatever I don't mean to flame you but it's not your car, it's your dads that you primarily drive. It's just a stupid peev I got from working @the DMV :rolleyes at myself again: But seriously have your dad GET A CAR COVER and park close to the school so it is very visable at all times. Or get a bike
