Students navigating the BOHS parking lots drive past an array of vehicles, from pickups in every color, to luxury sedans, to ubiquitous Civics and Camrys. 

While a few anomalies can be spotted — a Dodge Challenger, a Chevy Camaro, a Plymouth Duster — amongst the 500 parking spots spread across the upper and lower lots, the cars Wildcats drive mostly reflect vehicle ownership trends nationwide: The vehicles populating the campus are durable, reliable, and affordable, and also reflect the diverse socioeconomics, lifestyles, and tastes of the Wildcat student body. 

Travis Van Dorn (‘26), digital artist, collected data from the BOHS student parking lots to discover what, in fact, our students are driving.

Here are his results (click each image in the slide show to expand and scroll):

At 5.25%, the most common car on the BOHS campus is the the Honda Civic. More than 15 million Civics have been sold since the launch of the car in the U.S. in 1973. They’re durable (the average annual repair cost is $368, compared to luxury brands like BMW, that average $968); they’re affordable (starting at $24,250); and amongst the most fuel efficient.
