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.

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.

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.

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.
