Hey what happen at Q-Cup?

SES_D · 09-17-2007, 01:38 AM

So guys, I have a dilemma. I'm not sure weither to drive the car to school or not. On one hand, I would love to drive it, but I don't necessarily like the attention. Plus, If I park it...it's going to be out of my sight for 2-3 hours.

Here's a map of CSM & Lots. I circled where I park...So what do you guys think? Any advice for me?

I am willing to drive my Honda to school...but thing is if I do my family is out of a car from 8-12:30. My mom is definately not willing to drive the Bimmer...thank god. (I.E. - sideskirt) haha. So yeah, any feedback would be great.

RED CIRCLE - Lot
BLUE CIRCLE - Building's where Classes are held

The lot that I park at is very small compared to the one next to it...only the morning people get to park there, it's closest to the classes for the back lots. There are huge front lots...but I don't feel safe parking there. This lot on the otherhand, very few people walk through it, only the people that park there.

I guess I should also mention that my car is car's shock sensor is always active now, and the slightest noise can activate the alarm. LOL, I'm not sure if I should put it to be this sensitive...I can always adjust it. But yeah, the shock sensor is random...sometimes if a bird craps on it goes off, at other times nothing happens. I do feel much safer having it on though...

If it goes off, it sounds for about 20-25 seconds, then continues to flash high beams, sidemarkers, and tailights for about 1-2 minutes, then resets itself.

How often will your mom need the car while you're in class?

That's the thing. I never know when she might need it or if there is an emergency. I do have a TSX in my garage, but my mom doesn't feel like getting it insured...

My sister needs a ride to school at about 8:30...so that's another problem. But she's working on a carpool right now. She says I'm retarded for not driving my car to school...blah..blah.

So basically, if I take the Honda, sister has no ride, mom has no car. If I drive the BMW, I'll be worried about it's safety.

Ray · 09-17-2007, 01:48 AM

Insure the TSX. Problem solved.

If you don't, can I have it?

yup, that's what I said. Mom = Cheap, won't insure it because we have enough cars to use right now.

GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. I don't even want to drive the TSX, the Honda's good enough for me. hahaha it's artic blue, still want it?

Ray · 09-17-2007, 01:54 AM

Of course I'll take it.

If you don't give me the TSX, you can sell it and apply the cost to a cheaper car + gas + insurance.

Cars depreciate through time, and if it's not used, it's going to waste.

haha, my sister is going to drive it soon, Christmas to be exact. Mom still doesn't trust her with her driving yet. She doesn't yield to pedestrians...

I'm like...WTF this ain't China foo!

Ray · 09-17-2007, 01:59 AM

SF, China, same sheet.

Insure it now so at least someone can drive it in the mean time.

It's up to her...I don't have a say in it unless she agrees. And so far, she just thinks its a waste of money. It's hard to convince my mom, she is cheap like no other.

We'll see how it goes tomorrow. I'm getting there extra early to park in a spot where my car won't be as noticeable by students.

noktekniq · 09-17-2007, 02:05 AM

@ least u don't have real cops in your school.
i'm thinking if i should put my license plate back on tomorrow before i park it in ccsf

It's funny because my mom walked out when Andy was here dropping off the M-tech bumper. She kept thinking it was for me, then Andy stepped in speaking Canto. and was like...NO NO, if you look in the box, it's a different color! David doesn't waste money on mods...he's good on that! She still thinks my wheels/tires are 600 bucks total, and still tripped off that! hahaha.

i guess, if they're a dick. for sure meter maids in sf and palo alto can give you a fix-it ticket for no front plates.
