I meant have fun with the military career, not the car. I know you'll have fun with the car.
I was implying that, if you in fact did join the military just to buy an FD, you might regret that decision. But good luck to you anyway!

The military isn't that bad. It's what u make of it.
I joined when i was 17........I went guard then ROTC and haven't regretted it (I signed up for college money).
i was able to get a degree in Electrical Engineering b/c of it and managed to get a FC and FD at age 23.
I can retire when i'm 37 and pull double pensions and for an officer it's not bad (collect at age 65 though)
If he doesn't know it he will find out that there are other benifits to serving.

When do you plan to get a Power FC on that baby?
I am also 19 and in the Air Force. Stationed in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma (Altus). I just got back from a 6 month deployment(Afghanistan) not too long ago. I just picked up an FD Saturday and am still trying to figure out how to work everything. I'm almost afraid to drive the thing hard for fear of overboosting/running lean.

rotc pretty much pays for all of college.
at one point in time the military paid 1.5x my college tuition
i double dipped in guard/rotc money and had a guard scholorship.
I figured i made about 1200 per month going to school for free.
think it broke down to
gi bill (with kicker) - 600
stipen from rotc - 400
drill -200
book money (once a semester) 300
tuition assistance (guard once semester) 750

Stuck in Afghanistan
My Fd was my first big purchase after joining the army, but I didn't join to buy it. I join because I was bored (should went ROTC) Army is not mentally challenging.

Well, happy for both things, your FD & joining the World's most prestigeful Military. To all of you who make comments on your own country's military, SHAME ON YOU! We may not be the most payed job but we don't get stuck in an average office job, plus it really pays off in other ways (i.e. benefits, house allowance, medical & dental benefits, trips to Greece, Iceland , Australia, Gibraltar, etc, etc.)
