NICE!

I don't blame you a bit for the rules of being in your car. A good way to seriously screw up the interior of a car is by smoking in it. I don't think you can ever get the smell out, and your interior is just so susceptible to being damaged by burns.

Very nice set up   Sorry that you seem to be having roommate clutter issues

[lastparker]

You have a Zune?  Maybe you can teach me how to use mine.

My college apt. looked just like yours!  Hope you don't get the same roaches we had! 

I'd take ciggy smoke over roaches any day.

Somehow it doesn't seem collegiate unless it has a milk-carton and brick shelf unit.

Memories....

You're showing yer age... 

Did you have a cable-reel for a coffee table?  I heard those were the height of coolness.

Which Zune do you have?  I have the 80 GB version and it is SO easy to use.  PM me with any questions you have.

In all seriousness though,  my stepsis was given a brand-new Nissan Sentra to replace another car (got hit by a minivan...turned her car into an accordion, if you get my drift).  She is a chain-smoker, so when the car was prepared for selling (she hated it...don't know why), they had to put it in some kind of oxygen tent or something to try to get the smell out.

Yes I did -- got it from the Phone company depot next door. I sanded, stained and lacquered the heck out of it :)  And I made my coffee table out of scavenged 2x4s.

I'm guessing Febreeze wouldn't have helped?

A local Nissan dealer had a one-week sale.  They were selling Altimas and Sentras at HALF PRICE.  A brand new Sentra for $6500.

Febreeze was tried.  Even IT couldn't get rid of the smell entirely.   The smell was just that bad.

Uh.....the one they had in the case at Wal-Mart?

See?  I need help.

I'll start PMing you heartily, just as soon as I find mine.

As a smoker, that's all the tempting I needed

Wow, that "dorm room" looks a whole lot different than what went by the same title at Purdue thirty years ago (bunkbed, two desks, a locker-like closet, common latrine for the hall, shared phone in the hall, and TV in the lounge in the basement outside the dining hall)!

  You DO need help. 

BTW, do you remember what color it is? That always is a good way of identifying which one it is.

Yep, the college I go to provides private bedrooms for everyone.  There are no dorms here... just apartments.   And I think that's happening at a lot of colleges across the US.  I know Georgia Southern is making the switch (slowly) but they have found that students are a lot happier with having some privacy.

I remember the dorms at Tennessee Tech.  A single room with two loft bed/desk combos, communal showers, concrete block walls, and lousy neighbors.

I know some of the dorms at the private 2 year I went to had that set up.  And I think Georgia Southern has some too.    I fought tooth and nail NOT to end up in those dorms.  However, the dorms I did get assigned to in the past were so tiny.  But I got lucky, because my room-mate moved out, and since the ceiling was so high, my stepdad (loves to build things in his spare time), built a custom loft bed.  I wish I had a picture of it.
