that is all.

And that is what you must do. If it isn't someone in your high school parking lot, it's some guy who isn't paying attention to the stop light because his wife was taken to the hospital.

 

Actually it looked something like an old Chrysler K-car, he was "pimping" out.

 

Sell it.

Its a bunch of kids, probably jeolous. Your in HS, why own such an expensive car??? Buy a junker. In a year or so you will be gone and not care.

It will not get better in HS

 

I second that. I never had a car in High School, so maybe I just can't relate, but I will say that I almost didn't buy my MINI (first car) my senior year in College because I was scared it would be vandalized. Were you really not expecting this to happen when you bought it knowing you would be driving it to a high school?

 

And he didn't charge you with assualt? Duh. NOT the best of moves.

BTW, for the originator, if you own a nice car, do you really think vandalism is ever going to end?

Just ask the people who own nice BMWs, Benz, Jags, etc and see if those cars dont get vandalized.

There are haters everywhere ... You pay your money and take your chances but at your age, SAVE your money, buy a junker.

 

Man, did you have a bad time in high school?

I can't relate to those whom didn't have a car in HS. Everyone had a car when I went and some of us had 2 cars. I had a Jeep and an IROC.


I can't relate to your problems because nothing bad happened to mine or others I knew. Perhaps it was because I was a jock year round and so were most of the people I hung out with, but I recall none of us did anything to other people's cars.

 

I find this amusing.






And also sad.

 

this thread is like a social self help group. it should be a sticky .
basically you gotta find the person that hit your car and put a live eel in their car. duh. that will fix everything

 

Not at all. My point is simple ... it will not get better for HIM.

All this about HS kids having cars IS a bit unbelievable.

Hell, when I was in HS, we WALKED two miles to school threw massive snowstorms without boots!

Very few people, only the RICH kids, had a car and mostly beaters (except one girl with her E-Type jag that everyone was jeolous off).

Hater are everywhere. You have a nice car, someone will hate you for it. Park it with around a bunch of haters, and it will get vandalized. Don't matter if its a MINI or a Ferrari.

 

That's an understatement... I'm the lady who grew up driving tractors and milking the cow before school...

I thought when my dad let me drive the Chevy Luv pickup to school instead of riding the bus (in my Senior year) I was really something!

 

This sounds better off in the road rage thread.

Just curious but what exactly where you going to do? Beat the crap out of a minor child? Or maybe give him a resounding lecture on respect for his elders

No seriously, what would have been the outcome?

 

Have you noticed NOBODY walks to school anymore? We live two blocks from a school. Nobody walks. Moms don't even walk their kids to school (if safety is the issue)... everyone either rides the bus or drives their kids the two blocks. Today I watched my neighbor get in the car and drive down to the corner (six houses away) and pick up her daughter from the bus and then drive her home.... ???? What's up with that? I totally avoid the school street at certain hours. Miles and miles of cars lined up to pick up the kids that probably should be walking off the extra weight they have put on because the school has taken away recess..... but that's a whole different subject.

 

Was keyed at college and fixed it my self for less than $15.



From right behind the gas cap straight throguh the middle of this photo and right on up tothe headlamp, its kinda a fact of life to live with, but its all worth it when I get behind the wheel.

 

I wasn't kidding about that. You lived within two miles, you walked. Nobody gave anyone a ride to school ... how lame. You would have been labeled as a "wussie".

Very few seniors had cars, nobody could afford one other than a beater.

Then again, my dad would say when he was a kid, they didn't even have schools He was taught in a one room with 10 other siblings by a monk (or something like that).

 

Still today in my hometown kids that live within the town limits do not have bus service to school. Some of them walk up to three miles to get to school. You see kids walking to school there all the time. Most of the cars in the parking lot are rural kids who have athletics and can't ride the bus home after school due to practice. The school simply doesn't have the funds to provide buses and the buses they do have travel up to 45 miles one way to deliver kids so one trip each way is all they do per day.

I always thought it was cool to get to walk to school since I rode a bus all the time, my folks would let us do that once in a while. We would cut across the fields and a neighboring ranch. By cutting across country we could get there covering only two to 2 1/2 miles. The best was when we would cross-country ski to school in the winter, that was fun. Oddly enough, my cousin, a city kid, thought I was lucky and it was cool to get to ride a bus to school since she walked all the time.

 

Walking was fine. Kids today are probably so spoiled they dont know what it means. The only problem was when it snowed it was a pain. They had sidewalk plows, if you can believe that, so there was never an excuse to not walk to school.

Today, at least in the DC area, they just TALK about snow and school is cancelled If it rains heavy, school starts two hours late. What a bunch of spoiled wussies.

 

I didn't graduate HS that long ago (98) and I walked the 1.5 miles from school to my house... in the afternoon. My friend's mum usually gave us a ride in the morning because school started at 7:01 and we'd rather sleep

 

Oh my gosh, we had the BEST recess games when it snowed. We could have two feet of snow on the ground and we were still all sent outside. We'd play fox and goose for the whole recess or build terrific forts and have snowball fights (I know, a no-no now).

 

Whoops, I suppose we ought to get back on topic.....

 

Wow, we built forts too! and had snow ball fights!

oops, OT

 

Haha my school would close if there was more than an inch of snow!

 

Snow? What is this "snow" you speak of?

Reminds me of the Real California Cheese commercials with the talking cows.


Cow 1: Hey, here comes the new girl.
Cow 2: This should be interesting.

NG: (In a "Fargo" voice) Hi!

All other cows: Hey. How's it going?

NG: Ooo I love it here! No snow!

Cow 2: Snow?

NG: Because I hate snow drifts, don't cha know.

(Silence from other cows)

NG: Oookay, see ya!

Cow 2: What's snow?
Cow 1: I dunno. She's been tipped too many times.

 

chows -

i dont think it's fair to call kids that don't walk to school 'wussies'. I agree that it would be better exercise, but we are all products of our surroundings to a certain extent. I am a senior in college, and my school is certainly too far to walk to, but I did walk in HS. It wasn't a big deal, a lot of kids that lived close walked.

But if you go to a school where people make fun of you for walking, then not many kids will walk... I don't think it's fair to call them wussies because they are just trying to protect themselves from getting made fun of or 'fit in'.

You got so angry at people solving their problems with physical violence, I just didn't understand how you were so quick to verbally assault those who weren't getting to school the same way you did.

 

Rachael. Not sure if you understand what the smilies are for but if you read closely what I wrote, I said when I was a kid, they would call you a wussie ... Then I wrote:

"If it rains heavy, school starts two hours late. What a bunch of spoiled wussies."

See the winking smilie? That means I'm joking. Its not serious.

I can understand if you didn't catch that nuiance if you dont post often here I meant no harm and the smilies try to tell the real intent.
