Lol. Your probably gonna get keyed for being a spoiled little brat. You should have asked for something sensible for your birthday. Then you wouldn't have to be worried for looking like a spoiled little bi*ch.

This!

I don't know why people have the things they have or don't have. Whatever good fortune they have, luck, money, family, good for them. Some of us may have to struggle and go through a lot of chaos before we can get what we want. Okay. There are things that I want but don't have, and may never have. So what, this is true for everyone. So why judge anyone? We spend a lot of time hating on each other. Can't we just be responsible for our own lives and enjoy it the best I can and not begrudge anyone anything?

I put high school parking lots right up there with walmart parking. Just don't do it. Not worth the risk.

I know it's not the preferable answer you were probably looking for, but that's the safest solution, if you are truly worried about your car. I don't really think adding cameras as security to the car is worth it. Cameras don't prevent theft or vandalism, they can only catch the guy after the damage is done. It certainly does kill me to leave my Camaro sit without driving it for a couple days sometimes, but when my night off comes, I drive it anywhere and everywhere...lol.

But he didn't do anything for it he didn't work hard for it. He didn't earn it. He has no clue what the real world is like. His parents held his hand and bought him a brand new car.

Lol this was a bit harsh but I laughed, I've always found cold doses of reality humorous. I also work a lot to afford mine...

OK. Would not work for me, but if it works for you, so be it. I am older now, but even when I was young, I drove the cars. I accepted that they were going to get damaged, and that I would have to fix them. My reasons for not driving my performance cars was always brought on by them not being very drive-able due to performance upgrades, but to each his own.

Move to Singapore. They know how to deal with punk vandals.

My high school had parking lot cameras and two security guards and I still parked my new Mustang as close to the school as possible. (Right next to the classrooms) And yes I agree with the others, don't burnout or rev your engine, or speed by the kids taking the bus. If I were you I'd be more worried about some dumb girl hitting your parked car at lunch. lol

You have off campus lunch??
