if you don't want to drive it every time you come home from school, then why did you buy a 350 in the first place...

sounds like you might be happier driving something else...

If you can swing it get a truck, you like the ability to move (large) stuff with it

If it's for long trips, get a Civic. You wouldn't care if that got beat up and it gets nice MPG. A truck certainly wouldn't.

I think he means driving back home from school; the commute between the two.

Sounds like your keeping your 350z in addition to buying another car, If it was me I would get a truck so I could have the best of both worlds... Trucks come in handy if you ever get into sports (like mountain bike riding or snowbording) or if you have to move stuff..

Get a toyota yaris. Those things can give you 40mpg for 15K and look better than the scion cr@p.

When I was in college, I never went home on weekends...I was MUCH too busy having massive amounts of sex with the newbie freshman females, that I just saw the folks at X-Mas time...LOL

I didn't have a car in colllege, though...so getting home was a biotch, anywayz.
