Congrats on graduating boot camp. But dude, I'd just wait till after A-School and get to your permanent duty station. You'd have money saved up and you know you wouldn't be moving any time soon. Anyways, just my opinion. Bump for a fellow sailor! Thanks for your service.

Looks good. It's not easy finding one that's not fist ****ed to death. I'd say keep the hood paint the wheels black and start with bolt ons.

Dont be like me. I bought my evo in ait and then I got my orders and really didnt plan out driving
time. So it just sits at my house 23 hours away from me now and I daily drive a GST instead. No point in making payments on something you aint driving. Just my opinion.

Oh and on that silver one. Silver is the ugly ****ing color to ever buy a car in.

+1 on waiting till you get to your duty station. You might end up in a state with very strict smog laws and wish you bought a stock one or one with legal mods. I'm not sure what you're rate is, but if you end up on a ship. Pretty good chance that the car will sit in the sun in an open parking lot for weeks on end while you are underway. Anyway, welcome to the fleet shipmate!
