Hey Hyde where are you?

Mr. Hyde makes fun out of me for having a beater car for my honda accord, a car that many folks would consider a beater car.

I guess you need to get some perspective. I love my car, but I will not, not drive it. All cars great and small are meant to be driven and driven a lot. further your talking about a 5th gen with value of less than $10 grand...a reliable beater would run you about $3 grand (read that as money a college student doesn't have)

I use a beater (my bro's car 96 LX) when my car is really clean and its raining out, but if my cars already dirty I just drive it.


The best you can do is try not to draw attention to your car, practice defensive parking (far away and not near other ding causing cars), and walk more around campus. I say keep your car clean, but don't go nuts cuz that's when people notice. Keep a low profile. Don't let everybody know that you have a system cuz college kids are all crooks....keep her stock too.


enjoy cornell.
