A grand a month isn't really that much. That's only $12,000 a year. I pay over a grand a month in child support. It's good you have a plan though.

yea well when your saving that much up a month and not spending alot thats alot over 4 years so you got the idea, what should i go for 91-95 turbo mr2, gen 3 rx-7? i heard they blow easy? what else would be nice to go with , i want something older but fast, i love pop up headlights, something easier to learn and work on the motor, thanks guys

Well, that may be difficult with the two cars you've chosen. The RX-7, being a rotary, is completely different than anything you've worked on before. Plus, they overheat easily with the stock cooling system. You can increase the longevity of the engine w/ aftermarket components, but i've heard the average lifespan of a rotary is about 75,000 miles.

The MR2, on the otherhand, is a bit easier to work with, but not on. Since it's mid-engine, working with it in the car is next to impossible if you want to keep all the skin on your knuckles. The engine compartment does not leave much room to manuver.

However, those are great choices in cars and would be alot of fun. Good luck in the future.

I didnt have a car when I joined the Air Force but I bought mine after I enlisted. If you have no bills other than insurance you should make enough to modify your car.

The longer you're in the more you will make. I've been in almost 3 years and right now I am spending about a grand a month on my car.

Make sure you get a guaranteed job, DO NOT go in open general, or they will make you a cop.

I'd rather be a cop than what I am now. 3 of the guys I work with as a weather guy came in open general. This job sucks.

Whatever job you guys decide on try calling an Air Force base and talking to guys who do that job. Don't just talk to one or two...talk to multiple. If you need help I can try and find people for you.
