I go to a school that doesn't allow me to have a car yet... and doesn't give me much vacation time, either.

What kind of school doesn't "allow" you to have a car? Do you mean no parking allowed, or literally your syllabus forbids you from driving?

thackl

my undergrad didn't let freshmen have parking permit either

wow. but i guess freshmen are kinda stupid. especially with the availability of alcohol on campus. which, in combination with a car is not too good.

Razz1

I'll drink to that

I'm not a freshman, and there isn't any underage drinking on my campus.

Here's a pop quiz. What school is in one of two of my listed locations, doesn't seem the type to give a lot of time off, and might possibly inspire me to use a flying patch as my avatar?

raizen82

i don't know about the location and the patch but i'll try to guess anyway. uhh, in the army/airforce/navy of some sort?

anyway, i'll be in orlando for the ATIA conference. wonder if i'd see alot of 8 there hehe

raizen82

dude, i just got the car 2 months ago. and i'm still learning about it. can't blame me for taking precautions and researching just in case i missed something important.

oh and thanks to reaper1. kinda figured that out after searching

5 days is not "storage" or "hibernation". It's just parked. Take no special actions at all.

I don't drive mine in winter and usually only on weekends for the other 3 seasons. And I just warm mine up every seven to ten days and roll up and down the driveway a few times.

Your car sat undriven on the dealers lot for longer than 5 day stretches.

No big deal. Just keep a photo in your wallet, phone, or iPod to tide you over.

^ Thats right wallpaper on the phone son!

Waaah, 5 days? Give me a break, it's not like you got a 2 week rental on a Zonda and can't drive it for 5 days. I park my Elise in the garage during the whole work week and drive it on the weekends if the weather is nice. If you have a battery tender I'd just put that on if it's extremely cold in your area.

Mike06

and to keep him company on those long, cold, lonely nights im sure. just make sure that your tv gets cinemax to set the mood...

lol air force academy, because the avatar dont look like west point.


i couldnt drive my car for 3 month, because it was in the shop. but 2 out of those 3 i was on vacation. so still good
