Haha! I have to agree. I have a reserved parking spot at my office with lots of space between my car and the others. I won it in an auction during our company United Way fund raising event. It's $100 well spent. When the weather is unruly or when I need more people space, I leave the Boxster at home and drive the Honda Civic as mentioned below. I ride both road and mountain bikes but I live 27 miles from my office, so, biking to work is not very practical.

Concerning insurance. When the other guy was at fault, I expect the insurance company to bring my car back to its previous state or replace with like in kind. That's what insurance is for.

If you do get another Boxster I would suggest not driving it to school anymore.
You've got far too many inexperienced drivers in very high proximity to each other.
I don't even trust my Porsche to a commuter parking lot populated by people with 20 years driving experience... I ride my $300 fixed gear track bike rain or shine, even in the snow. The Boxster stays safe at home. If the hike were too long for the bike, I'd get a Honda.
