Maybe Duddy Kravitz is learning. Still think his rep, if there's any left, may never recover.

We all make mistakes, and the original interest was to have a right brain story behind my Volvo. As said before, I could have just had my parents buy it. I don't really want one after researching the car more, but if I did I would be getting it someway under my doing. Overall I just did not want to bring up a post next year with an even better Boxster keyed or smashed by vandalistic rednecks. However all said is welcome, and I was planed to get a job this summer, but currently I do not have transportation to get to a job.

I think here in might lie part of why I would be worried if I was you to drive the car to school....it would be one thing to drive it to school and never gloat over the fact that it was a porsche, that your parents would buy whatever you wanted, etc. but if that is the perception your peers have of you (dont' know...just saying) then there might be some concern about the safety of your vehicle in the parking lot if you are throwing it in people's face to some extent. I am not saying that their reactions would be correct or justified but you have to see where they are coming from...no one like someone acting like a spoiled brat.

Whenever people ask me what I drive, I tell them a small convertible and try to leave it at that unless they pry more and/or are real car enthusiasts. Humility can take you a long way in life if you let it.

My car is nothing more than a glorified miata, if I wanted to impress or rub something in the face of my peers I would get a f250
