the last thing you want is to buy some 500 dollar pos and get stranded on the side of the road

Good point Mike. But when I went to school I was in a different state, so the Freshman thing didn't apply - I was allowed to have a car, and did buy one. Also joined the Army Reserves my Freshman year so needed transportation anyway. My junior and senior year of High School I worked weeknights and weekends, so again, needed to drive myself.

So Matt, if you work during your senior year of school, and go away to college / tech school, you may need transportation. MPGs trump BHP in this economy.
