I think I posted about not worrying in the 'fear' thread,but I was assuming that was under different circumstances.

I can careless in Sacramento,where my car goes,where it's left because it's not a problem getting a decent sized parking spot where I can leave my car for 10+ hours. But just from what I've heard and seen in SD,it's seems very crowded,parking would be a pain(with moving it every two hours and what not) and wondering if having a car there would be worth it,considering I'll mostly just be going to school,the gym and work.

Hey Blink,

welcome to SD in the near future. My little brother goes to SDSU .. and he complains about the traffic/parking situations. I'll talk to him and find out the best and safest parking lots or areas to park in . Sd is great for the Box ! .. considering where in the college area and rooming/living situation is.. i hope you bring it out.

If you don't bring it down.. you are welcome to take mine for a spin to take care of any cravings

Yeah you're right it was a little bit of different circumstances but I think if it's going to cause you more worry, stress and grief to have it there, than it might not be worth it. But also weigh in how you'd feel not having it anymore... tough decision! As I stated before try not to take any night classes and finding a gated community/apartment complex would easily help you sleep better at night.. one with a personal garage would be even better, but prices would go up too, and as a college student it's best to keep costs down, trust me I know!

Tip-
Get an on campus parking pass and just park in one of the structures. They are expensive but totally worth it. You will want a car to get around SD easily.

SD Region PCA is one of the most active and fun regions I've been in. Or at least as of 86 when I left.

As was posted it is great top down country, and if the beach and PCH are too cold or froggy you can head east into the hills for severe great driving and much warmer/hot/hotter weather.

The beach cruising is great up PCH all the way to Santa Barbara and beyond.

I hope you are able to take PCH on your way south. Incredible near Monterrey, Big Sur, and Carmel of course all the way to Malibu and points south.

Good luck with your studies. SD is a fun, fun place. Traffic has gotten a bit much for me, but the area is still a threat to students that cannot focus despite the attractions.

There's no way I'd live in SD area without a car. There's just too much to see and do to have to rely on someone else for a ride. Sure, the public trans is there but who the heck wants that when you have a Boxster.

There's hardly a better car to own in that area, not to mention cruising up and down US 101 or even taking some of the most scenic twisty roads found anywere heading up to the moutains (Julian, Mt Palomar, and even over the mountains into the desert. Its your call, and your priority is to finish your degree, but I'd take the car.

Hopefully you'll find a parking area on or near campus that will minimize risks.

Hey Patrick!

Nice to see you still visit this forum.

I'm not sure Sarah would be too happy about you loaning your car to a stranger
