Are G coupes good college cars?
When a group of people join a bandwagon on a forum and attempt to define a group of people they aren't affiliated with as "bad" or "losers". Commonly used as an ego-booster or flame material on HT forums by immature people with inferior genetic packages.
"Ayo, look mang, he got the 36 way adjustable coilovers, hes mad hardparking dawg."
I use that phrase all the time to describe half of the cars I see at Socal meets. I wouldn't say its affiliated with "losers" or is considered bad, its just a description for those with modded cars that spend more time in a parking lot than on the road. Mainly because they can barely be driven around on public roads and can't do the speed limit on the highway for fear of grinding away the underbody. But thats how I view it.

I had a 1993 Mark 8 while i was in college in Boston...back in 1999. It was a POS, but it was great for college.
Let me just say drunk college kids will look for a flashy car to screw with. Used to wake up on Sat and Sunday mornings and look out in the campus lot and see cars with crap on their roof. One AM i saw a Jeep Cherokee with a loaded shopping cart full of food on it's roof. That was an interesting one. I was right near BU and BC and Northeastern where some kids would come to school with $50K BMW's and Audi's their parents bought them. Saw a few of those get trashed.
Then when the Patriots won the superbowl, I saw cars get flipped over.
My friends toyota trecel was stolen three times. No idea why as it was just a POS car. They totalled it out when it was recovered with a homeless guy living in the backseat for a week.
My own car got pretty messed up as well, but it was a beater and did it's job.
When i graduated...i traded it in for a brand new Mustang GT 5-spd.

I know maintenaince and all the time taking care of it put together can be a lot, but part of my college experience I want with this car, after I drove one, I was so tempted to drive off with it and leave my poor corolla there at the dealer. If I get the job i'm hoping for money won't be too big of an issue, thx for the input :3
Guess you just need to feel out where you'll be.

On a serious note though I have driven mine through about 2/3 of my college career so far and its been great. just make sure if you have a higher mileage car that you keep a little cash in your bank account for **** going out. but that really goes for any car.
