Its a mansion on a hill in the background, sort of on a cliff with an ocean front view, with a four (I think four) car garage in the foreground. In the garage is four high end cars, I think one is a 928. Also a red Ferrari. At the top or bottom of the poster are the words "Justification for Higher Education".

Yeah, a couple of people saw me in my car today, it was cool. I don't park in the lot either so i am hoping i dont get keyed. I remember last year this rich ****'s parents bought him a brand new acura RSX for his 16th birthday and "decked it out" with a coffee can exhaust and everything. My camaro beat him while short shifting at 3000 and with a clogged fuel filter!!! And it was a mere 6 cylinder 3.4 liter. stick of course.

Why are you all going back so damned early?

I had my car my senior year, but it was in the garage until the last week or so. I drove it to school once or twice. Now I'm starting my sophmore year of college, and still don't drive the car at school. I'd rather not have to work to pay for insurance and gas through out the school year.

Uh, why do I have my doubts about that?

Watch the language please. We all know the word so noone is impressed, and this statement has what to do with the topic after the first sentence?
This is exactly the type of posts that get reported and now you know the reasons why.

I used to believe in higher education... until I found out how much guys in the IT field gets paid. Dropped out 2nd year university and haven't looked back!

Of all my friends that graduated university, probably about 15% of them are making decent money. And I'm way ahead of 'em, 2+ years head start, not much of a student loan to pay off heh.

You guys are so lucky to be driving a Porsche in HS. I was driving my mother's '73 Pontiac Firebird and that got taken away after she saw me cutting classes with it. Then I had to ride the bus my senior year. Don't blow it like I did.

I didn't really get to drive my car much Junior year and for a combined total of maybe 1.5 months senior year because it was broken down. The days that I did have it were fun though.

Yep 2002, but I'm glad i didnt have the porsche then, cause I probably wouldnt have it now... the bottom of the canyons probably would, and even if i did, it would probably be keyed...

I am now a Junior in college and got my car after my freshman year. I drive it as school during the fall and pring but not in the winter(Nov-April). I keep it covered and get coments like people wondering what is under the cover all the time.

I am glad i did not have my car in High school (i had a '96 neon) as a friend of mine had a 73 vette sting ray and some jerk egged it.
