Thats definately the worst one I can think of off the top of my head. They must loose thousands of dollars worth in business cause of that thing.

If you're just a freshman it's better to leave your car at home.

You definately need to know where to slow down and where you can go fast. Also know what parking lots you can pull into and what ones you CANT, you will see where others have failed horribly by the large gouges carved into the tar
yeah watch out for those islands in the middle of parking lots


yeah i have a lot of trouble stock height as well with stuff.. i scraped coming out of denny's the other night.. that pissed me off.

.....i am thinking about coilovers or springs...i'm debating.......



and as for leaving the car at home....it makes it easier to get home whenever i need too....incase i want to see my family (my mom)....or incase they need me sometime since my mom can't drive...and my dad just can't take off off work to bring me home

bringing your car as a freshman is fine so long as your willing to risk leaving it in the cage for weeks at a time... a few cars were broken into last year which would make me hesitate to have to leave my car there.

as for suspension, go with a nice coilover system, so if you find yourself scraping over everything you can just raise it back up a little bit.
