I assumed she had horrible vision because the body was pretty beat up. Anyway, he needed a truck and wanted to unlaod it for 2000. But I just couldn't swing it because I had a Jeep that took all my money. :lol: I wish I would have picked it up though.

Hence my first post after Austin's M3 suggestion. ;)

Oh and Tim, buy ANYTHING cheap and American that will pass inspection so you get free POV transportation there and back. ;) American cars, especially ons not sold in Europe, resell well there.

I saw one down here in Carson at a little dealership on HWY 50, I remember Tim and I where driving by and I was said "wow, a mid-60s Continental". If I had the money I would've bought it.

Question, could he take his car with him?

Yeah, that's why I said that. :p It's part of your moving entitlements. If you change posts between two domestic facilities, you get moving allowance for your ish, your car, and your dependents, all if applicable. And overseas, it's the same, except some places don't allow POVs (like Korea and England :() and/or dependents (Korea, permanent Middle East duty stations). Germany allows all of them. :) The thing is though, if you don't take a car with you overseas, you don't get to take one back.

I don't think Tim knows that

Libila 2006-03-16 04:51 PM

I didn't know that! Are you sure?

I don't know looks like you have som research to do.

Kevin M 2006-03-16 05:32 PM

It might be an Army rule. You AF chumps get a whole lot more perks and higher standards of service from DAF than we got from DA. But do check into it, pretty much any NCO should know.

JonnydaJibba 2006-03-17 08:31 AM

Does this mean I can't buy your car?!

Libila 2006-03-19 10:03 AM

I'm going to find out on Monday if I can make it to the Family Support Center. I'll keep everyone informed.

In the mean time, let the car discussion continue.

JonnydaJibba 2006-03-20 08:15 AM

Family Support Center? Are you having a baby or something? My mom kinda sounds serious about this.

Hans Stuck is the man.

Bob Danger 2006-03-25 02:52 PM

I think Tim should get a Type R EP3, or a Clio V6

Bob Danger 2006-03-25 06:36 PM

Buy a Cooper or a Bug

tysonK 2006-03-25 07:59 PM

vw from the motherland, they should be pretty cheap right?

Yep, same with BMWs. I'm still unsure as to what I'm going to do.

I'll repeat myself: Euro M3. An E36 with 320bhp from the factory is ridiculously sweet.
