Guess it’s time for the train horn install

sorry bud. i know very few people who had a car at JMU that didn't get hit at least once. just the nature of putting a lot of young driver traffic in a concentrated space with tons of distractions.

consider installing a dashcam, particularly one that remains on for a few minutes after you shut the car off, or that has a g-sensor that will detect if the car was bumped and automatically turn on and start recording even if the car has been shut off for a long time. it could help you out if you get hit while parked. installation isn't hard and i have a walk-through in the dashcam thread here in the Lounge.

i've ranted about it a couple times, but for the record my old subaru was hit multiple times, always while parked or stopped at a light. i just learned to drive extremely defensively...always trying to predict what people will do, looking for a constant "out" to bail to and generally trying to put the car wherever there is open space. not much else you can do. people are generally dumb as hell.
