Park it next to the nearest lightpost, REALLY close so some a$$ cant ding it. As for covering it up... F that. Being a former FRAT a$$hole... I can honestly say if you cover it up, people will F with it. I went to UMD and there were PLENTY of spaces really far from campus where no one will touch it.

If your worried about rain or snow or whatever and dont even want to keep it outside... take a valium... its only a car. Hell, when you graduate from Cornell, you will make nice bank and you can buy a HOT new Audi, BMW or MB when you get out.

 

park it near those bmws and benz

 

haha, a years tuition at Cornell means one bmw, audi, lexus, etc that you can't buy because it went into your future :-p. There are no touch free car washes that I know of, so you probably are going to have to go to a car wash and do it yourself. There are plenty of service shops and they all do a decent job. Personally, I went for the one with the cheapest price since most of them all use the same basic oil. I forgot which brand though but I would recognize it if people gave me a comprehensive list. Unfortunately, there is no valvoline shops that I know of, but meineke, monro, jiffy lube, etc. are there. The honda dealership is also close by, but I find their service and part prices a bit high.

 

I think it be safe to park at dorms. People messes with my car back in high school, but nothing happens in college ( I guess they are more matured). So it should be safe, unless you got beef with people.

 

i dont know about cornell, but where i go there are so many cars so much nicer than my little accord that i would look ridiculous doing anything unneccary to protect my car.

 

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not true. I went to SUNY Stony Brook. all my friends had shit jacked from their cars: M badge, another guy had a window smashed.

I was on campus for an hour visiting a bud and went back to find the rear bumper lenses on my 94 EX ripped out with the harnesses gone....

College kids are by no means mature.

Man, I'm doctor now, but I still remember walking around campus in my underwear piss drunk while wearing a top hat! Mature??!!! :lol:
