Awwww.. but he seems so straight in his PMs... :(

:rofl2:


sweet :tup:

1/3 of most car sites is in the military. Another 1/3 sells crap to the military.

...that made no sense :icon14: what do you mean a third of most car sites?

I think he means that 1/3 of the people on most forums are military. I have to agree. My buddy has a local performance shop and half his business is from people in the Military. They come back from being over seas or out patroling and have a ton of money banked.

aaaah gotcha :tup: that somehow makes sense

I call them "deploymentmobiles".

why do you think there's a trend going on with military guys and getting sports cars after they return?

A lot are single and deploy for a year with no bills. So they save a years worth of tax free pay and can afford a huge down payment when they get back. Some even get more car than they really can afford.

But it's not all sports cars

Deploymentmobiles can be huge trucks with monster tires or luxury sedans with 26" Crome rims.

Or like my friend typically builds - 02 civic hatch with a $20k built turbo motor. :shakes head:

hmmm... yeah... heard of a couple of marines getting GTRs ordered to arrive at the dealership about the same time they were supposed to come home :)

ok now that's just gross... :rolleyes:

yeah, that's grosstesque too :icon14:

You know I respect the performance part of it. These cars put out 400-600 hp from a 4 banger. I just couldn't sink that kind of money into a car that's only worth $3k. Most of these guys end up losing their arse when they try to sell.

My presentation went really well, hope yours did too blue. :tup:

The marines getting GTRs are one of those cases for not affording the car. They usually figure out how to pay the car loan but can't afford issuance, maintenance, rent or food.
