skylines can be purchased pretty cheaply over there..unless you are looking for a GTR....my buddie payed 2G for a GTS-T and a little over 9G for a R33 GT-R.

9g's is pretty cheap, you can get 91-02's GTS-T's for 6-15 depending on quality and mods.. pretty fair price

hmm... maybe you should consider your first duty in Afganistan, in which case you will not have to worry about modding your car.

or iraq


however. im going to be working on helicopters, not too far worried about going overseas. i think it would be kinda fun in a sick way


and in order to get sent to iraq or afghanistan you have to be assigned to a unit that is deploying soon

lets not also forget i will be worrying about mods because i'll be flight which is hazard pay plus separate food rations(which is also extra money) then the nice added non-taxable pay for being in a war. factor in my sign on bonus. yeah you're getting the idea.

I'm a working class kid so the money i'll be making is something i could never imagine where i live now. i mean, it'll be a bit more but i won't have as many bills

I'm pretty sure you can't take a late model car to Japan from the states. I had orders there a few years ago and couldn't take a car that was newer than 1976 (I think). This was in 1997. I'd suggest you double check with your assignments section to make sure.

I have always dreamed of owning my own SkyLine. I would probably kill myself in one, but i'd still buy it!!!!
