Pheonix is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, Einstein. The metro area is over twice the size of Pittsburg. The city itself is over 5 times the size of Pittsburg. ASU's Tempe campus is the second largest school in the country. Trust me, parking is in demand there. Consider yourself ripped off.

Not size, population density and space.  Einstein.

My friend parked his BMW for free on a hill.  When I bring my car, it will be because I have an apartment with parking space.  Until then, we have one of the best transit systems in the country.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

I thought we were talking about college parking. ASU students (all 50,000 of them), don't benefit from the Pheonix metro area's spacious layout, they have to park close to the campus. Besides, Tempe is pretty crammed as well, and as the new high-rises finnish construction and open for occupation, the density is going to skyrocket.

Trep isn't even going to Pittsburg, is he?

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

He's going to some school in Canuckistan.

We just have a cramped city with a lousy, old-fashioned layout.

I'm paying about $560 for a year of parking at GT. I guess it just depends on which college you go to, but it can be expensive.

There may be an update on my car situation:

My uncle, who works for Toyota, and who's currently driving my new car, told us that the Ontario provincial government gives us a $2000 rebate on a Hybrid car, and the federal government an additional $1500. Plus, my university for next year has a yearly parking rate of $584 ($68 for every month of school), and a $350 annual flat rate for Hybrids.

My uncle also said that since it's within 10 days of purchase, we can get a full refund on the LE and, if we put a down payment down, get a new Camry Hybrid for $2200 more (after discounts and rebates) than we got hte LE for.

It more than pays for itself, since Ontario's government is going to grant free use of carpool lanes with one occupant in the car for Hybrid drivers.

My dad says he's seriously considering it.



My dad went back to Ken Shaw Lexus Toyota and put a $3000 deposit down on a 2007 Camry Hybrid and dropped off the LE. Since it's under 10 days old and has less than 300km there's a no-questions-asked guarantee.

The MSRP with tax was $34,862 and after my uncle's discount, the $3500 government rebate which we'll be getting in the mail within 6 weeks, and taxes, we got the Hybrid for $30,593.58.

Delivery either late June or early July.

Now I'll still be bored to death, but I'll be helping the environment while I do it! Keyless start/go FTW!!!!!

I can scan and send one of the mods (preferably Catman) the deposit papers. Plus, I'll be whoring out millions of pics of the most environmentally-friendly car on CarSPIN once it arrives.

edit: And my uncle doesn't "work for Toyota"... he's a new immigrant and is working as a salesman at a dealership.

Let's see "millions of pics" of the LE that's already in your driveway, then.

Read two posts ago. I have the two pics of the LE I took on Thursday night.


I don't have to justify JACK SHIT, but since I'm not exactly trustworthy due to past actions, I can send deposit and order papers to a trusted mod, with a matching name to my driver's license, if they so wish.

I am sure you can find a Hybrid in some mall parking lot like you did for your orignal camry.

:rolleyes: I can't find pictures of it posed in scenic places or in my driveway beside my Intrepid and Caravan, nor can I get papers for one in my dad's name, can I now?

Actually, you just deleted those pictures.

And yes, you have to justify EVERYTHING.

I am still trying to translate that post as it made very little sense, but the only pictures you've posted of the black Camry have been in front of some low rent strip mall, not exactly a logical locale for a photo shoot.

Magnetic Gray. Both the LE I dropped off today and our SE which we're getting rid of in June are Magnetic Gray. The only Camry I've ever had in black was my '99.

Close enough. Besides, I don't think you or your parents have it anyway. You've made up far too much crap already (Touraeg, Caravan (at one point it was a stripper model, now it is fully loaded, that's odd), and the latest Camry).

TheIntrepid

Oh and the Hybrid's going to be "Aloe Green" with the Bisque (beige-y) cloth interior.


I'm not about to make up buying a Toyota fucking Camry. If I was going to make up a car, it'd be one that would IMPRESS people.

Touareg, I'll accept.

The Caravan has NEVER been a stripper model. It's always been a 2006 SXT model. I've posted ample pictures of the damn thing.


TBR; I don't give two shits if you believe me or not. However, as I said, I can scan the papers when I go to my cousin's house (I don't have a scanner) in a couple days.

In fact, the metro stat only includes 2 suburbs. If we consider the greater PHX area, we're probably talking about a city that is 10 times larger than Pittsburg.


Please man, Colorado Springs is larger than fucking Pittsburg, which is the 58th largest city in the States. Pheonix is number 6. Please don't "inform" me of what it's like to park in a big city. Trust me, I know.


And we're not talking about city permits, we're talking about college parking, correct? Unless I missed something...

Damn dude, do you not know that it is the Incredible Hulk that you are speaking to? :devil:

Honestly, I think ASU parking is an anomaly.... I paid about $500/year at UCSD. To park at a lot off campus and then grab a shuttle to campus
