I was in the same boat 5 years ago. I joined the army straight out of school. Buy a cheap car for now. Once in the Army, settle down after training then you will get some nice $$$ and buy yourself a nice car. No doubt if you are single, you will live on base. which is cheap as! Good luck and I hope you don't join as a grunt. Dorko

If that fails I can always take the get rich quick path and work over in the mines in Western Australia.But yeah officer Combat Engineer is paperwork and that's just not me.So General Combat Engineer like my grandpa would be awesome I'm not to fussed about pay more just the interesting job.

mrmackie Legacy Donating Member 67 Member For: 19y 1d Gender: Male Location: Perth - CBD Posted 04/12/07 11:22 AM Posted 04/12/07 11:22 AM Hey buddie, Its a tought question and I should know. I bought a new XR6 only to sell it 3 months later to buy a Turbo. Im a bit older than you though, but I guess its all about what your priorities are in life, and how long you want to wait for things.The XR6 is a great looking car, but if your ego gets the better of you, the Turbo will be biting at your heels, due to the ease and cheapness of upgrades that can be done for tonnes of power.Note: Nothing against your driving skills, but If you do go the turbo option, get an advanced driving course.Good luck on your decision!!

I don't really want to end up wrapped around a tree so I was thinking of doing one anyways I thought it would be fun and a good experience to learn some good skills that might one day save my life or smoke some other kid
