    I'm from North West Jersey (Sussex County), but have an apartment in Philly on campus. Since I have co-op, I go to school year round. Right now, i'm on my first co-op at the Philadelphia airport. I'm a sophmore, but I dont think that makes a difference....still a TON of work to go haha

When the critter has been collected, take it right over to the owner (if you know who it is) and inform them that next time it won't be returned to them. usually that ends the problem. If not, just go catfishing again. They are predictable.....


      i had trouble stopping laughing from that one. lol. that would be a bold move

          Cool. Good thing you guys are still in school. It's bleek out here . We definitely have at least one more here in the field... Injuneer?
          And for the sake of not running off topic, both the Stormproof and Noah would be fine choices. Just look into them and pick the one that you feel fits your needs best.

            I have a new idea....Let me know what you guys think.

            I was going to order the coverking stormproof car cover. Theyre not cheap, and I honestly dont think, no matter how good the cover is, that it will keep heavy rain/snow out. Would it be a better idea to get one of these?

            Its going to be outside for the next 4 years, and i'm not going to be home for a good majority of that time. Do you think it would protect the car better than a cover?

              If you have the room for it I don't see why not. It beats having to make sure the car is spotless to cover it up. You could come home for a weekend, take it out for one night, and pull it back in. If i were in the position to get one I would if I knew how well they hold in wind, heavy snow, and in general. Probably just fine. A guy around my neighborhood has one for his Corvette. I think it's a neat idea and only second to building a real garage. Just my opinion.

                I had one for about four years but eventually it fell apart from the heft of the snow and the wind. You definitely have to push the snow off the top.
