Eh...If you dont like how there is so many then make yours standout from the rest. (in the non-ricer way) At my school there are 3 but I'm the only SS/SC.

First thing I would do is drop it. That will make a nice subtle change.

At my school there are two SS/SCs, mine and a red one. There was a black one, but the guy got rid of it. There are two 2.4s. And too many 2.2s to count. The other SS/SC belongs to a woman who works in accounting, so it's stock besides some 17" black wheels she throws on in the summer, so mine definetly draws attention more than that one. Some random guy was telling a buddy of mine how sweet it was, before he knew the guy knew me

yea theres a few at my school. its the 6th largest school in the nation, though. I love having random people come up and compliment my car, especially when a fellow ss/sc owner will show up closeby.

At my college (about 1,200 people) it's me (SS/SC) and two SS/NAs... I know one of the guys with the SS; his is black too. People will wave at me, thinking it's him. haha.

See, this just goes to show you how spoiled the average high schooler is these days. ALMOST NO ONE I went to highschool with had a car newer than 10 years old. Hell, the majority of the teachers didn't either.

Be glad you parents are so nice to you. It was only ten years ago I was driving an '88 Tempo and that was one of the nicest cars in the lot.

Excuse me why must you take insults on me now?

I paid for all my modifications except stage 2 which was a birthday present. I drive a nice car to school because I keep good grades and it helps that my dad is a car enthusist too.

Trust me when I dont do good in school I have to drive a 1990 beater nissan truck with a clutch that doesnt always work.

Exactly , same at my school . I graduated in 94 and no one had a new car unless it was their parents . I had a silver 72 Nova SS when i was a junior , it's still in my garage today.

Good grades were just expected, not rewarded with a new car . Atleast not in my family or anyones family that i knew .

I have to disagree with that because if your parents wanted to help you or even buy you a car, are you saying you would deny it?
