I drove a GS-R during my last 2 years of highschool. It was a pretty nice car for the school I was in, but man, my damn VTEC emblem on the back of the car got stolen TWICE, couple of door dings, keyed a couple of times, and one time I was listening to music in my car (cuz I got there too early and needed to kill sometime) and this dumbass chick pulls into a parking space in front of me and runs her Dodge STRAIGHT into the front of my car!!!! How can someone be that stupid ... grr, highschool girls. The funny part was when she back the car up and tried to get out of the scene as soon as possible. Little did she know I was in the damn car when she HIT it. FYI, her "daddy" was rich....woohoo.

[B] 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?.

THe clifford pager is a completely separate pager. It doesn't actually pager your own pager but its like a screen and it will show you where your car got hit etc. i heard its pretty bulky too.

as long as i can watch my car when away from it, i'll be fine with just about any size pager

Not one door ding to my car when I was in high school (1985). Albeit it was a 1970 Chrysler Newport (Army green) . Get yourself a beater.

So it tells you that you got hit and doesn't record video information? Hrm. Basically it alerts you so you can be pissed off before you see actually the damage

I have a Longhorn symbol (University of Texas Mascot) on the trunk of my car. Although I'm no longer in college, I've had my car keyed by a student from another school. I've learned that high school and college students can be really immature and will lash out at anything that sticks out. I'd watch it if I were you. Keep your baby in the garage at home and take the bus if you have to.

I drive my S2k to High School everyday and I've never had any trouble with people messing with it. In fact other students are more careful around it then they are most of the other cars in the parking lot, but make sure your nice to everybody. If your not stuck up then most people will just let your car be or at least this is the case in NC.

my cousin went to the same high school as me, so the officer at my school knows that i am muslim (they had a bad relationship - my cousin and the school officer). when the whole attack started this morning, my mom started watching the news, and it said that the parents can come to school and sign their children out so that they can leave. my mom talked to my principal and he said my mom should just leave a note under my windshield wiper, and that should be enough for me to know that i should come straight home after school. when i came home, my mom asked if i got her note, and i told her i did, but then i began to get mad at her because when i came to my car, my windshield wipers were extended from my windshield. this is when she got mad at me, and told me that after she left, the officer went to my car and checked the note that was under my windshield wiper. so what i'm trying to say is, that even the security doesn't really care about "protecting" your car (this could also be because the school officer doesn't like me either). this just happend today, so i'm not sure if i should talk to the officer...or should i?

tell me what you think...thanks

DON'T DO IT. I've been there--done that. Let me tell you, you car WILL get keyed at a minimum...
