Dont get a f*cking beater. I understand people protecting their cars and shit but this is going to some rediculous extremes. First of all, it's a Honda not a Mercedes. Secondly, dont take this the wrong way, it's an older Honda and a Sedan at that.

What is the point of having a car you like and are proud of if you keep it locked away in a garage. People forget that the main reason for a car is utility/mobility. The fact that it is a nice car and that you are proud of it is an added bonus. I would not recommend getting a beater...that's just stupid. You are paying/have paid for the car and its insurance...WHY NOT USE IT?! A beater wont do much for you in college, because when you want to go on a long trip you really wont want to/be able to; also, bumming rides is the biggest pain in the f*cking ass when you are in college. Just use your car and park it under a light or whatever for some added protection.

Own your CAR, don't let your car own YOU.
