<p>Colgate: BMW 335Xi (best rating in its class, classy, small, well equiped, power/performance)</p>

22

<p>Wesleyan–Honda Civic Hybrid (Prius is too obvious).</p>

<p>UMich–Corvette??? As a UMich grad, I’m not getting it.</p>

23

<p>UMiami - Mercedes SL Roadster
SUNY New Paltz - Volkswagon bus (psychedelic paint job and all)</p>

24

<p>dragonmom - don’t forget the Collie in the bed!</p>

25

<p>Florida State University - StingRay</p>

<p>University of Kentucky - Mustang</p>

<p>Oberlin College - renovated schoolbus (seats removed), replaced with shag carpet on the walls and floor; hot tub inside heated by recycled engine heat…oh wait, someone actually did that to transport OCircus to perform in 6 cities last year.</p>

<p>

Related more to geography than anything.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Aw, no. Really? That gives me a snobby mental image. I was hoping it’s more like a VW Jetta. Never been there. Just saw it through the internet.</p>

<p>

Agreed…Full King Ranch luxury package…with running boards…a cowboy Cadillac…haha.</p>

<p>Hmmm, Berkeley is a semi-luxury, jack-of-all trades vehicle but with an environmentally conscious flair…maybe a Toyota Land Cruiser but modified to run on biodiesel. Or maybe a new one of those electric sports cars - the Tesla.</p>

29

<p>No, Dougbetsy, I see Colgate more as a Landrover with snow tires…though in the interest of full disclosure I immediately thought of a BMW…then remembered the weather…</p>

<p>University of Alaska, Fairbanks - Sno-Cat
UC Santa Barbara - 1972 Ford Econoline
UC Santa Cruz - VW MicroBus
UC San Diego - 1964 Pontiac Tempest convertible
UC Riverside - Hyundai Accent (no respect!)
UC Merced - Radio Flyer
UC Berkeley - 1967 Volvo 122S wagon</p>

<p>I believe Irvine, Los Angeles and Davis were handled elsewhere.</p>

31

<p>University of Chicago - solar/wind powered Squirrel Mobile</p>

32

<p>Should I assume the A&M vehicle has a pair of longhorns mounted on the grill?</p>

<p>(Someone attached some horns to H’s vw, and it was sooo cool).</p>

33

<p>The UChi car also has an extra glove compartment
for scav hunt list and the life of the mind.</p>

34

<p>Amherst College - Honda Vespa (small, powerful, works well within a larger environment)</p>

35

<p>Surely you don’t drive a Vespa?! I would have thought that if you do pick a Honda, the S2K fits your description of “small, powerful, works well within a larger environment”. In any case, it is what I drive, at least in warmer days.</p>

36

<p>^^I think that’s an appropriate upgrade. Maybe the Vespa expresses the 4 years on campus, but the S2K invokes driving back to Homecoming from the first job in iBanking.</p>

37

<p>Drexel - Acura RSX</p>

<p>Syracuse - bright orange BMW 3 series coupe w/ 20" rims, silverstar headlights, Italian flag, and a driver w/ a $50,000 debt.</p>
