De Anza parking
Hey, for all of you who attend De Anza theirs a area in lot B where the new parking structure is that a bunch of RS Subaru's Park, and one or two Sti's. I didn't think much of it, but now I think if you own a Subaru u should park their. Here's why
No more dings (Ive gotten two since Ive been going to De anza)
No people rubbing against your car, trying to slide through
No more Bird ****( because its next to the ring road where every one drives birds don't really go their)
and no more mysterious scratches, or big dents left by people who don't know how to park.
The only real disadvantage of parking their, is that its kind of far from campus, but after some one scraped up against my bumper with their car while parking, or backing out (I wasn't their to see it) I decided that the walk was worth it.
I figure if all people with Subaru's are parking next to each other they will have respect for other people cars; hence, avoiding any mysterious damages

i saw you taking that picture at school the other day. btw u jacked my usual parking spot!! >=1 hahah
anyways, feel free to join our RS squad in the back row of the parking lot. m the Rally Blue RS that always parks 3rd parking spot to the curb. Lagus (white RS) parks in the 4th spot and Diaos (brp RS) usually takes the 5th one. We've been conquering the back row for almost 3 quarters now and all of a sudden lots of Evo's and Sti's started parking back there too.

yeah im the silver STI. Ill move one over next time.
I didnt park their before,cause I figured it would look weird with a Sti in the middle of a bunch of RS's
I only started parking their after some one scraped my bumper. I figured that by parking next to other Subarus I wouldnt have to worry about all the crap I listed above.

I was there last spring and this wasn't going on, I remember there were some subies parking in the flint center, when I come back this spring I will join you guys. Those spots usually get left open because people are too lazy to walk that far. Plus you can get out with that stop sign exit and then just go into the straight lane and make a left anyways for a quick getaway onto stelling (not that I have done that or anything)

I see my car to the left! w00t!
I've been parking there everyday now for a while. Indeed it does seem a bit better than parking closer to the buildings as I've seen people backing into other people's cars the other quarter and people watching me take a nap in my car as they pass by. The campus security came to me earlier saying he will give me a citation =( for having a nice car.
My class is alll the way on the other side of campus too, but the walk is good.
Have you guys noticed that most of the RS's that park there have OEM STi axlebacks while the STi's have some aftermarket exhausts? haha

Yeah, the de anza parking is the worst, i already have a few door dings from this quarter alone, not to mention the dings from previous quarters and a hit and run incident two quarters back. Ill probably start parking there next week, Im the driver of the only red wrx at the school, or so i believe.

second level of the parking structure has a few stis and wrxs there. there's usually 2 black stis that park near me (1 wingless), top of the structure has a few too.
top level owns cause no one really parks there after the first week of classes. you do have to worry about bird doo doo though .

yeah, but no one is their to watch your car. If I were a thief I would be looking up on the roof for a new deck. I would also imagine the traffic getting out from either parking structure can be a pain at times.
+ If to at least avoid the traffic, the back is a prime spot. You only have to drive maybe 50 yards, or less of so, so traffic before you are off campus.
but, yeah People can park where ever. I park their mainly for piece of mind. Today, for Instance I had Friday class, and no one was parked their, but I still parked their anyways.
