Please Help Make my 96 Impala Look Terrible

Personally, if you are having that much trouble in the area you live in, people arent really going to care whether the car is clean or dirty, anything is fair game.



I'd say get an alarm and something like Lo-Jack. Also, try calling to police and having them patrol around the area a couple times a week, may cut down on crackheads like this.



Get a concealed weapons permit and then walk around with it on your hip when you arent in class, people wont want to mess with anyone with a gun.
 
I'm thinking you could get a couple of those hideous Mexican blankets with all the colors to thrown over the seats and the dash, you never see those things except in total POS cars out here. Make it look like you're trying to cover up a torn up interior.



Dan, I don't know how you're going to do this to your beast, but I understand the motivation. Hope your car makes it through the semester without damage.



Don't forget the gold crown air freshener thing and the wood bead thing for the seat.
 
If I knew my car would be in this sort of danger, I would avoid parking there entirely.

Personally, I would drive a 4 hour commute until I could save enough money to buy another beater. Look around, I'm sure you can find a car for less than $500. It's less than repairs to a damaged Impala would be.

LOL! What a different world the south is...from the OP's comments his school might be in NJ, it's hard enough just to get a handgun permit here, and just about impossible to get a concealed-carry unless you are an ex-LEO.
 
If a theif wants your ride. They're going to get it, or atleast attempt it. The best advice that anyone can give you is not to leave anything that might be appealing to them in your car. FWIW, my 94 SS got broken into infront of my parents home in a very nice neighborhood.



About the CCW permit.....I dont think that will work. It's a concealed weapons permit. The point of concealing a weapon is for no one to know that you have it.
 
Just like way2sslow said," if someone wants your car they will take it".Alot of people want that car especially for parts(cloning) Dude your driving an SS, dont do it. It will be even harder when u go to remove the water spots and crap thats been sitting there. :idea Go buy a car cover, park it at home, and then go buy "another" beater that u can drive to school.:2thumbs:
 
Can you hitch a ride with a friend? Public transportation?



If either of these options are available it would be worth the inconvenience knowing your ride is safe.
 
Paint the sides of your car liberally with used motor oil. Guaranteed to be the filthiest car in town by Christmas. Don't forget to install the best factory AM sound system money can buy!
 
Got parents or cousins with beaten cars? Not my favorite option but you could trade cars until you get money for another beater.



Remember that cars sitting in the shade will reflect really well. You'd need a super thick coat of dust to mask all the reflection from an autopian prepped car.
 
Are you serious? has this guy reply'd to anyones post since he created this topic? I wasn't ppaying to close attention.



You sir, need to either take the bus to school, buy a bicycle, or grow some balls and go talk to your school and tell them they need security or they will have to pay for the damages. Scare them a bit. Look around. Any sign's stating "public parking, any vehicle that parks in this lot is liability wise not our responsability etc etc?" If not. use it to your advantage and scare them into getting security @ the parking lots.



I think $1 a day for the bus is very very worth it if your so "into" your car as it sounds.
 
Maybe you could get some of that washable paint like people use to write "GO SENIORS", and Just married, and trash it like the hoods did last time. Put a coat of wax on it first. I liked the black rims idea, too.



Be careful you don't put a rival gang symbol on it.
 
It sounds like the OP lives off campus in his own apartment the shares with a roommate.



My original suggestion of buying a $#!tbox, disposable car for one more year of school still stands.
