getting close to entering and getting a new ride

[rickyd13]

a short time before graduation i went to the recruiter to enlist in the air force as i had planned on for a long time only to be told that i was to heavy and would need to loose almost 40 pounds to enter
at my height of 5'11" i have to be 198 lbs to enter and at the time i was 236.4
at first i was so knocked down by this that i didn't do anything until about a month ago friday morning i got on the scale and it read 210.8 so i lost more than half the weight and hope that i would be at my goal by thanks giving and be done with the process by the end of the year and waiting on my deployment
so with that said i will hopefully be an aircraft mechanic while i am in and i will be doing a 6 year hitch giving me a direct bump in pay to e3 which is in the area of $1600 a month which is not bad considering that they pay for my food housing medical and cloths so i will have that money to do as i please with and I'm hoping to be stationed in the states so i can have a car to use when i get a chance and relax even if it just to go to the store so i am between a new camaro ss - wrx/sti - ralliart/evo and a few other things that catch my eye but the ss and the wrx/sti is the top 3 what does everyone think on new car in that range and if I'm making the right move
thanks

going to basic is not "deployment", just saying.

$1600 before taxes, SGLI, GI bill, etc...

The military isn't all that you may think it is. But then again, it is the air force, kinda the best choice if you are really gonna serve.

even a used new camaro SS plus insurance is not gonna be cheap.

[rickyd13]

i have some money saved for when i go in and my car to trade so payments won't be that bad i know I'm tired and said end of the year instead of after the holidays

[zraffz]

Even without any bills it would be a squeeze to have gas, payment and insurance on a new camaro.
Figure you'd bring home about $1,200ish a month. Now figure in $600-800 in payments and insurance if you are a young guy wanting to drive a new sports car and factor in your credit rating as well.

I gross right around 3 grand a month before OT. I virtually have zero bills other than fuel, insurance, phone, daily tobacco usage, $15 for food each day, no vehicle payments. I would not want a payment on a $40,000 vehicle and full coverage on said vehicle. Could I swing it? Perhaps, but I like not just getting by making ends meet and have no money to do anything fun.

Let's say I spend roughly $40 a day between bills, fuel, food, tobacco. I pocket $110 5 out of 7 days a week which means I only make about $2,200 a month after taxes, fees, and dues. Quickly multiply $40 x 30 days in your average month and you get $1,200 a month in overhead. Dang, that's depressing... I need a new job lol.

[rickyd13]

im not saying the car has to be factory new i mean the newer style like 2010+ for both cars 09+ 370z would i like a new car yeah who wouldn't but theres other ways to buy maybe certified who knows certified you get the best of both worlds warranty and save but i don't think a warranty other than a few months is needed bc by then you will know what the car needs and i don't plan on keeping it stock

[sweetbmxrider]

Sounds sweet bro, good luck!

[The_Bishop]

Getting a car with a payment right before you enter military service would be crazy. Wait until you are settled down, and have a *good* handle on your day to day expenses before you saddle yourself with a car payment.

[1320B4U]

2010 ss's are going fo 27-30k used all day long. I'd wait until you get out of basic and get assigned to an area. You could get assigned to a region w/more snow so a camaro may not be a choice vehicle. Next year this time you could very well be down south and a camaro is another year older...even cheaper to afford.

[WayFast84]

You won't even need a car for a while. My friend went to basic around memorial day. After he graduated he was here for 9 days, went back to combat school and then he was sent to California for 6 months of training. They just let him off base this weekend and it's his second or third week there. So think about that before you buy a 32k car that will sit around for a year or so just depreciating.

[elle]

Good luck and i hope you get stationed in a great place.

[LTb1ow]

Why not lease a 2011 dmax, get a trailer and get the 2013 trans am when it comes out?

[madness410]

im in a similar situation youre in. i just got a really good paying job and now im making cash ive never made before. my advice is listen to what the other guys are saying. being a young man, you have no idea where you'll be in a year, especially with being in the military. i understand the whole allure of being young and having a sweet car, but thats not all there is to it. figure you pay 30k for a new camaro..taxes right off the bat would be 2100 bucks..the taxes alone are already a months pay and then some. factor gas, insurance, maintenance and repairs, etc. and all for what, a new sports car. my advice to you is either buy an older car and fix it up, or start saving and see where you're at in a year or wait till your settled down.

i say im in a similar situation because my job is up in the mountains and i only have a camaro..it would be a pain in the ass getting there in the winter. so im looking at jeeps. it came down between buying a crappy used jeep or buying a newer one and making payments. i, like another post already said, like not living to make ends meet, id like to have some extra cash to have fun. so with that being said, im going to buy a cheaper used jeep then putting myself into debt with a newer flashy one.

[rickyd13]

my plan was wait til stationed so ofter a few months training ill have money saved plus what i have and my car ill prob have 10k+ to put down i feel the wrx is the best buy bc its a year round car and has decent room and 0-60 isnt bad at all 4.7 from the factory easier to mod and work woth too

[BonzoHansen]

All seems to be a solid plan of attack. Good luck on achieving your goals and good luck with your plans of service to the country.

[rickyd13]

thanks to all who wished luck and yes i know some may get mad bc im leaning away fromthe camaro but its a more reasonable car at least its not a mustang

currently woth my primary job i gross 500 per week so i wont be that far off and i paid 200 a week towards my car plus gas and insurance
and stil had money for food cigarettes and to do what ever woth so i should clear about the same

[WildBillyT]

All seems to be a solid plan of attack. Good luck on achieving your goals and good luck with your plans of service to the country.

Agreed. Live it up while you are young. Drive fast, take a lot of risks.

We can give you a serious response, but you won't like it.

[BonzoHansen]

based on that sentence? no.

No personal attacks. :bertstare:

[BonzoHansen]

based on that sentence? no.
why god .... why?!?!?
Really? cam yous? You want a serious answer then take the extra 5 seconds needed to throw together legible sentences. Argh. Your posts are always like that.

Like WBT said, you wont like it. Ok here is your serious answer. Don't even think about buying a new car. It's the dumbest ****ing thing you can do. You already seem to change cars like underpants and that gets a lot more expense buying new. It's obvious you have no real life plan in action and lack any kind of internal discipline so the last thing you need to do is be saddled with 6 years of car payments. If they do allow you to join the military you need a new car like a hole in the head.


No personal attacks. :bertstare:That was not a personal attack. That was sarcasm at a request for seriousness from a train wreck of a sentence, and thread for that matter. A personal attack would be me calling you a dumb ass for not recognizing the difference. But I would not do that, of course.

[OG]

if you get deployed you'll have a new car sitting around, getting paid off, that you're not even driving :scratch:

Beater FTW!

[wrong generation]

thanks to all who wished luck and yes i know some may get mad bc im leaning away fromthe camaro but its a more reasonable car at least its not a mustang

personally id much rather see a mustang on the street then a wrx.

[rickyd13]

@bonzohansen
like i said it doesn't have to be new just new and more reliable like gto,wry/sti,evo,camaro and so on I'm not jumping into anything until I'm settled and for an 18 year old kid fresh out of high school with no other education than that i believe I'm doing pretty well bc at the end of the week i take home between 700-100 a week between work and side work i do so i do have a life plan considering that if the service doesn't work out i have an established family company that i can take on but i don't want to be locked down id rather have options that i can fall back on

[grazi]

Id say a FORD F-650 with a 5th wheel trailer. This way you can live in it too. It's kind of like a win-win.

[WayFast84]

Bonzo, I was kidding around.

Honestly though just throw a lock on this thread like the rest of the posts from this guy..

[redsoxsstink]

a used gto with a ls2 is around 20k, nice, quick and comphy for around 20k. or a first gen cts-v again around 20k and its a caddy and its fast and comphy. not gonna beat a dead horse, but everyone else has solid advice.

[zraffz]

@bonzohansen
i take home between 700-100 a week

If you are bringing home $700-$1,000 a week you are grossing $850-$1,300 a week at 18... why would you even contemplate joining the military?

So you can spend the next 10 years to make what you are making now? I know damn well if I pocketed $52,000 (grossed like $60,000-$65,000) a year at the age of 18 or even at my age of 22, I wouldn't have even made this thread. I would already own a WRX/5th gen/New 5.0/Z06/Duramax/or W.E and had it paid off. I would not even think about joining the military to take a severe pay cut. I'd be living in my own house within 3 years.


So my question is, if your life is as great as you say it is and you make $1,000 a week; why does this topic exist? You should easily be able to save up enough to go outright buy a new car or put half down and have a $100 a month payment.


Edit:
If I grossed $1,300 a week I'd be rolling knee deep in hoes in my brand new limo ZR1 with my chauffeur named Jeeves.

[NastyEllEssWon]

so which parking spot on the aircraft carrier did you get reserved for you?

[rickyd13]

i said i have my one job that i gross 500 a week then clear 415 bc of my tax bracket i also work at a bar which is under the table no tax and take home 100+ per night and then i do odd jobs when ever i get a chance to make a few extra dollars on the side
and i never said my life is good this past saturday was the 1st day i had off in over a month and theres a few things going on right now that make life far from good and i see the military as my chance for a new start and to put all the dumb things i did in the past make sense to anybody here
and good weeks i make the 1000 most are between 700-800
then take out insurance for a 18 year old kid who doesn't have the best record along with gas i drive all over the state working and going to my house in toms river when i have time and all the driving i do when i have time to go out i average about 2500miles a month repairs food cloths cigarettes misc. expenses and so on money goes fast and ill say it I'm not that great at budgeting

[deadtrend1]

I'm sorry dude, i tried to read that but the lack of any punctuation makes it painstakingly hard. What ever you said, good luck with your decision...

[maroman88]

how are u buying cigarettes at 18?

[WSex]

just get a smart car hook up a 400 shot and then you can listen to all the cool noises it makes.
oh yeah smart car is only 99$/month leased

lol



^thats me being funny.
good luck and thank you for serving our country.

[NastyEllEssWon]

i said i have my one job that i gross 500 a week then clear 415 bc of my tax bracket i also work at a bar which is under the table no tax and take home 100+ per night and then i do odd jobs



ah alright, it was hard to sift through that paragraph but i get it now! youre 18, enjoy breaking the law, posting that youre breaking the law and circumventing tax brackets....all because you want to make less money a month from the military and park your brand new camaro ss on an aircraft carrier.


legit AF

[OG]

^ yea cuz the IRS is now searching F-body forums for kids making peanuts so they can hammer them with taxes

[rickyd13]

^^^this guy i agree with him

but was too exhausted to attempt this one :lol:

[Mike]

The IRS is not the only people whose laws you are violating. And some of the people that have already replied in this very thread are in a position to do something about it. No searching needed

[rickyd13]

think i can count the answers that pertain to the original question on one hand but wsex sounds like it may be worth it to watch one of those stupid things go boom

[rickyd13]

mike dont follow what you say?

He is not talking about you breaking the laws of grammar, but rather the ability of people in this thread being in a position to do something about you breaking actual laws.

[rickyd13]

stil lost whats breaking the law being 18 and getting cugarettes?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Aside from the fact that there is no such thing as "cugarettes" as you say in your latest post...

It is prohibited to sell or give tobacco in any form to a person under 19. Signs required at all points of display and sale. It is illegal for anyone 19 or older to purchase tobacco for a person under 19. NJSA 2A:170-51.1 and 4, NJSA 54:40A-4.1.

Not paying taxes is also illegal.

[WildBillyT]

stil lost whats breaking the law being 18 and getting cugarettes?

Tax fraud. Chances are nobody cares, but then again you probably shound not announce that publicly.

[rickyd13]

true if thats what getting a little extra on the side is but makes sense but can we get on topic?

as to what would be a good idea when i figure out where i am and i am settled

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

See how basic goes and where you end up getting stationed. Then buy a car that isn't brand new with a ton of payments since it'll still be temporary (or keep your current car). The same general sentiment has been said numerous times already.

[sweetbmxrider]

Its your life, do what you want. Just keep us posted :)

[1320B4U]

.....w/all the prev tickets you stated you've had in the past just call up your insurance co and see what full coverage is on a 2010 ss in your age bracket.....you don't want to be one of those kids spending 500/month on the car and 500/month on the insurance that puts regular in it.

[rickyd13]

can we try out wsex's idea and shoot a 400 into a smart car when i get back from basic

[WildBillyT]

true if thats what getting a little extra on the side is but makes sense but can we get on topic?

as to what would be a good idea when i figure out where i am and i am settled

OK, I'll give you a long winded, very preachy, straight answer.

And this comes from two places:

1.) Finance guys who do this type of thing for a living, or in other words tell people what to do with their money so they have a lot more of it later in life/can retire. They make their $ only when they give other people good advice about handling $.

2.) Hanging around on forums where younger guys buy hot cars

lest you think I'm just making this **** up off of the top of my head.



Don't buy a new/newish/expensive hot car until you are somewhat settled and have an idea of what your expenses will be in the future. It will sit and depreciate while it's sitting there. I have lost count of the number of younger guys I've seen buy hot cars/start huge HP builds only to see them A) sell the car in a year or so, or B) sell off all their parts as soon as they need to get married, buy a home, or are slapped in the face by reality.

Cars are not good investments. In the purest sense of the word investment.

Do not set yourself up to live paycheck to paycheck. Unforseen things like injuries, car accidents, loss of employment, etc will be a death sentence to your finances then.

Live well within your means. You make great money for a guy your age, but in the grand scheme of things that's nowhere near enough to be wasteful in today's climate. Many people overextend their finances thinking they "have the cash" but they don't. That's why there are so many personal bankruptcies and foreclosures. It is so bad that mortgage companies will not write you a mortgage past a certian % of your earnings for your own safety.

Avoid taking out a payment on a toy like it was covered in a bucket of AIDS. Why somebody would take out a loan for something that is not 100% necessary has never made a lick of sense to me. Banks will NEVER say "Sir, you can't afford that" as they want your money, and own your ass when you default.

Quit smoking. At $7 or whatever a pack, and a pack a day, that's $50 a freaking week, $200 a month. If you saved that for two years straight you could buy an LT1 car to play with.



and so forth.

The short of it?

Join the Air Force, find out where you are stationed, drive a beater until you are out of the service, have a real job, and have your life set up. Then re-evaluate and see what you can afford.

[Mike]

Another thing to think about is how long you plan to serve. If you plan to make the military a career than this doesn't matter, but if you are going to do a three or 4 year thing and then get out you probably don't want a six year loan as you won't know your income the last part of it.

[rickyd13]

bill that was solid thanks ive always believed that if you dont have the money you dont need it thats why i am saving befor i do anything

[WayFast84]

/thread

[91chevywt]

Even though the "/thread" has been thrown I'm just going to throw my opinion out there, and pretty much echo the sound reasoning stated above. A reliable, fun car can be had in the $5000 range. Pay cash for something you can afford and save your money. You have the rest of your life to buy your dream car.

I made the mistake of buying a "hot" car when I was 18 and even paid cash, but it was still a big mistake. It ended up being a money pit, and I learned my lesson. I say this having made the mistake myself, give yourself a couple of years at least.

The basic rule for myself is, don't take out loans on toys. A good friend of mine just went out and financed a new 2013 garage queen Challenger R/T @ over $1,000 a month (MSRP 40,000+) and I couldn't help but shake my head. He works like crazy to be able to afford the new house he just bought, two other new cars, and keep up with 2 used cars. This is who I strive to NOT be.

[elle]

Over 30 lounge?

[1320B4U]

A lot of us have lived this and are telling you from experience.....I rocked a new is300 when i was 24..bought new w/half down living in my parents house...now i rock a 1993 silverado but its parked in my driveway of my home. I have toys but nothing w/a payment besides the wife's car.


Rule of thumb when your over the age of 28.....The value of your car shouldn't exceed whats in your 401k....and to think most of my friends still dont' have health insurance or a nest egg in the mid 30's is unconsciousable.

[WildBillyT]

Over 30 lounge?

28 and up.

[rickyd13]

mike - i was going to start with 6 and prob stay for the 20 if all goes well and nothing that i can't turn down doesn't pop up ill be in for the ride

91chevywt - this is like what i said if you don't have the money you don't need it i don't want to rush into something i want to wait till I'm going to be comfortable and not have any financial worries and be set and ready to handle what I'm getting into

1320B4U - i always loved the is300's wanted one for my 1st car and they would still be considered as an option i jus want something that i will enjoy have they power to have fun and would look nice doing it along with being a nice looking car my z was like the beauty and the beast ugly as sin but performed beautiful when it unleashed

[sweetbmxrider]

I think you missed several points here. Or maybe I did :-?

[rickyd13]

i understand what everyone is saying

[OG]

Understanding the words, yes.
Comprehending the point, no.

[V]

keep in mind i am talking from experience.

i served 4.5 years active duty. my ss i had bought 6 years prior sat in my parents garage with a freshly built drivetrain . i wasn't gonna keep it in upstate ny with the horrible winters.

i bought a Saturn sky redline 8 months before deployment. it sat a year then. i drove it for 4 more months then started regretting buying it due to its impractical size. since it was such a specialized car and low miles, i owed less on it than it was still worth. i got very lucky there when i traded it in on my cts-v. now i have a more practical 4 door car. im getting engaged by the end of the year and will soon be looking at starting a family. safe and useable vehicles are taking a on a whole new meaning to me.

i planned on making the army a career but after being in it less than 2 years i knew i couldn't deal with the stupidity. however, the air force is different and have it easier. but if you DO join, work hard and be motivated. don't try to get out of work and be lazy like many are. i do not put up with that and any soldiers under me learned that real quick.

if you MUST get a newer car, make sure the loan term is shorter than your contract length. at the same time, through mypay, set up automatic allotments to pay directly out of your income monthly. do the same with insurance. get usaa too.

[rickyd13]

paul what are all the benifits and uses of usaa i heard alot but am confused and i was stongly leaning towards a wrx due to that fact 4door and awd make it a usefull are year round and i always get compliments at work about how hard i work bc i started when i was 15 bc my dad told me i had to work if i wanted to drive

:bertstare:

just because the wrx is awd doesnt mean it can barrel through 5inches of snow with no problem, its still a sports car, its still low to the ground and the power split is no where near that of a truck/suv. i think maybe 20/80 front to rear where a truck is 40/60. with some snow tires it would be decent and better than and rwd car. so still your best bet for a year round beater. goooood luck

I made it through a bad winter in a '97 GTP with bald 3 season tires. No joke.

[redsoxsstink]

this one time i drove from maine to wyoming in a 4 door 67 catalina with a turbo400 trans with only 3 working gears and one working drum brake in december

[sweetbmxrider]

This one time I looked out the window and it was snowing.

[rickyd13]

same here a few minutes later the ground was white O.O

[The_Bishop]

Last year it was snowing. I drove my Camaro....








Right into the garage and used my truck, as that's what 4x4 trucks (or beaters) were made for. Really, Camaro + Snow = No.

I did drive my '79 Z28 during the blizzard of '96. No choice, it was all I had. I cheated though, and picked up a set of smallish truck tires from a friend, and mounted them on some steel wheels. Car looked like ass, but I got around. Doesn't make it smart, though.

You participated in the derailing so don't complain

I'm not going to get into all the deyick swinging and Internet Einstein crap o rama that this thread is oozing with, but I just want to give the OP my support in his quest to join the USAF. I served right out of high school from 83-87, and it was one of the best and proudest things I ever did. I was too immature to stay past my first hitch, but after getting out I went straight to working the job I still have 25 years later. So, best of luck to you, future airman! :cool:

Good plan, my man! Hit me up if you need anything. I can only imagine how progressive the USAF is now compared when I was in. Hell, we were still using biplanes compared to today...lol

Lemme tell ya, chief, he gets the right duty assignment and hot tail will be chasing him! One of the reasons I had to get out was I was getting a non-military spec beer belly from all the partying I was doing!!!:kneeslap:

A wise man once said on this site that you should be balls deep in bitches at 18, not worrying about cars that are meaningless at the moment.

[donnj]

well well well, maybe this thread is finally making some headway for our pal rick, perhaps it might be sending subliminal messages to him as to find a van with a bed in the back to do something with all the bitches he will have lined up. With all the posititive advice absorbed by him he just might be a 20th century casanova.....

[rickyd13]

lmao

[band77one]
