I've known LOTS of people who's cars got messed up when they're the daily driver...
Oh and I wasn't implying you hadn't been to college... I was just saying in my experience daily drivers get trashed... especially around colleges or cities...
My civic has been hit w/o anyone leaving a note over 6 times... and it's ALWAYS washed and waxed... so it's not like people can't tell I care for my car... people just generally aren't very forthright... or honest...
If I had ANY car that I wanted to keep pristine I would drive it only on nice days and garage it otherwise... (and 64 ferrari or not a 30k car that is BRAND NEW is something I'd want to hold it's value for as long as possible and stay as fresh and new as possible..)...
My dad had a 95 porsche and when he started driving it to and from work everyday (spring/summer/fall) instead of only on nice days it went to hell in a handbasket real quick.. nick dents chips etc...
If you've gotten away doing otherwise you are lucky... I wouldn't advise anyone who wants to keep their car mint to do the same....
I'm guessing the reason you said maybe a 64 ferrari is because you see it as irreplacable... but a 30k sports car for a college student is pretty irreplacable too... especially with a 1000 dollar deductable....
Highlander... what would you do if it was a 1500 dollar hit to a door? or even just a nice scrape up a couple of panels... insurance won't pay and you'll be in the middle of school and I assume not working... that would RUIN you're car...
I'd get a daily driver (especially if it's affordable)... but like I said that's my opinion.

Correct.. it is not replaceable.. but a 350z is.. drive it while its worth something.. and people think it's cool.. 15 years down the road it won't be as cool when you finally pull it out of the garage with 2000 miles on it and say "I wish I drove it when it was new and cool"
