My recruiter made me. He told me to be proud of it no matter what I drive.

1983 Honda Civic 5 Speed with 84K (now) miles on it (with a huge folder of every service event to support this claim).

I :heart: the Dainmobile.

BTW: Pricetag was $400

Wow, your Dainmobile is a bigger POS than mine. Congrats!

That car will be fun to shoot up before you ship out. Bring it down here, I know someone with a M1919.

I'd LOVE to but then what will my brother do for a first car?

You are missing out then. We sunk a boat once with a Thompson.

You know putting a spoiler will add 50hp and increase mpg by 50%.

Thank you, sir. I like it. BTW: Watch out for the gimp.

Semper FI!

I'd like to rent it for first dates. What are your rates?

No sense in buying a new car when you're about to head off to Boot Camp and other "vacation wonderlands" where you won't be able to drive it for several months...Besides, if you get "deployed", you'll have to leave it parked then as well...I often wonder about the sense Marines have when they go in hock up to their nutsacks and buy a $40K pickup...to leave it parked for 7-12 months while they're in Iraq...over half of the enlisted crew in my son's squadron had new vehicles...and they just sat in open parking lots in San Diego for several months at a time. SOME took them home before they deployed, where the vehicles either sat, or got driven by family members. (and often got wrecked or trashed while the Marines were gone)

This sums up my thinking perfectly.
