Get that new stealth car cover,no one will ever know it's there.But make sure you put an orange cone behind you to block the space

Get $100 comprehensive coverage and try not to screw the popular kids girlfriends...it's fun but they will get even DAMHIK. The good thing is in HS my car was a Chevy Citation with an 8 track...my car being trashed was never a concern.

Other people mentioned this but keep your nose VERY clean because that's the first place they'll get you; your nice shiny Camaro. Happened to me.

Im not in high school, but im 23...My old roommate let this one pos move into the house (not a group decision, came home one day and there he was). I was told this kid is a "good guy, don't worry". Turns out to be a meth addict, I was the one who told him to move out, be gone by the end of the month...end of the month comes, at some point he took my spare key and he "borrowed" my Camaro (not even 2 months old) for a moving van. Cops found it two months later on the other side of the city...it was still in great shape (he only used my gas basically, no tickets or damage)

Long story short, if someone wants to get you, they'll go for the car. I learned the hard way, if you like your car you need to be careful in how you deal with the people that know you have it...props though, I couldn't afford a Camaro when I was 17, I can barely afford it now haha

I finally got it, hire Mr. T to guard your car all day. That'll take care of it.

Don't brag about your car, show off, or do any burnouts. No blasting your stereo. Don't make enemies, be annoying, or piss people off. Don't advertise that you have a Camaro.

Or do all that stuff and enjoy life as a teen with a sweet ride!

Mine was a school bus.
Live it up young man and drive safe. The biggest danger to you is yourself. Paint can be fixed.

just show people you're not one to be walked over, but also don't be one to step on people's toes over minute things

wheelio · 08-20-2013, 07:49 AM

Nothing. They will get you. I went to one if the largest high schools in texas, there is nothing you can do.

Casperadub70 · 08-20-2013, 07:53 AM

I use them. My little shih tzu is meaner then the Doberman. He has a mo-hawk.

heRS · 08-20-2013, 09:55 AM

buy an old toyota to drive to school, save the Camaro for weekend fun.

Ride the school bus, save that gas money you would be spending and use the car for dating.

SlingShot · 08-20-2013, 10:17 AM

Easy fix .. Find the toughest S.O.B. in school, knock him on his azz and then put everyone on notice. If your car gets messed with, they are next.

I don't know what your parking lot looks like. But park as close to the school as possible. Don't park it far away because it has a higher chance of getting keyed. Park it where everyone can see it. (First row) The more visible it is, the less likely someone will risk keying your car. 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
