I remember my sophmore year I bought a 69 camaro convertible right at the end of summer.  Couldn't take it up to Rochester for college until the next year when I was in an apartment.  Sophmore year was one heck of a long year knowing the vert was sitting in the garage at home.  I did end up taking the car to school junior and senior year.  It was quite the challenge in winter, especially without a posi rear.  But they know how to plow up in NY so it wasn't as bad as you would think.  Now get back to studying!
