Edge spots have their treacheries too though. One of my friends got a footprint dent in his quarter panel from some drunk kid who was passing by the car. Granted this was a college parking lot, but still. Bottom line is if you want your car to be protected, never drive it.
I had my Maxima for a total of one month - it was in perfect condition when I bought it, and parking in the commuter lot for one month netted it several long black dings on the sides (even with the gigantic ding strips on this car). I got mad and parallel parked on the street, where I was hit by some idiot driving a Mystique - his car was so much into my rear bumper, the front license bracket had cracked in all four corners (and probably fell off when I drove away).
As for cell phones - I rarely use my own but when I do it's quite handy. As soon as my first real paycheck rolls in (it's been three weeks now .. getting paid monthly sucks
) I'm purchasing a new phone (Nokia 9500 methinks) and possibly a data plan. Both my WPI and Gmail accounts are blocked, as well as CEG and a number of various other sites that have hindered my ability to stay informed or gather contact information. I come home to 50 or so e-mails each day from friends as well as threadfuls on CEG ... I'd like to use my lunch break to catch up on these things and hopefully the cell can aid that.
