It would be a better idea to get a used car till you're out of the army. It would be a waste buying a new car now, rarely driving it, if ever, for 4 years, then being able to drive it. Buy a used car for transportation now then when you get out buy a new car. Don't be stupid.

I'm not hating or anything, I just think it's gay.
I'm 20. Have a $30k+ car, pay my own insurance, and go to college (part time).

... I stated following basic I wanted to purchase one. I have a very good feeling that I will be in Benning for the majority of my time in, as I am set up for Airborne/Ranger.

out of your list, a 350Z.
but if I were you, I'd look at an RSX-S, too.

Don't listen to these people telling you not to get a car at your age...it's not hard to pay for a car at 19...I bought my GS-R when I was 19, insurance was low, no problems.

Come back when you pay for your car, sparky.

Alright, so if it goes down between the RSX-S and the Civic SI, they way I want them configured, they are identical in cost, JUST over $25k. I mean, they are within $150 of each other. What would you do in this situation. Is the Acura lighter? The si is kinda a pig, isn't it? Aslo, does the new RSX have an LSD, or just the Civic?
