Default College

So I am in college and looking at buying a new vehicle. I am working two jobs in the summer. What do you guys think would be the best vehicle to get. A car. A ranger. A truck.

i would highly suggest looking into a cheap small car...usually college parking lots arent too friendly to vehicles especially larger ones

Damn!

I try parking at college with my ranger all the time and it's terrible, would much rather have the small car in that scenario.

A Ranger wouldn't be bad since everything is so close, but parking would be a pain. Look at like 90s Civics, Corollas, Camrys, Accords, etc...

Who cares? As long as it gets you from Point A to Point B and you put gas in it. Get whatever. As long as it's a dependable vehicle.
