Hello all,
My name is Kyle and around July of last year after turning 22, I decided to join the Air Force as College wasn't really working for me (Couldn't decide on a major) and the job situation really was no better. I am leaving for BMT on March 27th and due to my decision, I sold all of my "toys" for now, paid off nearly all of my debt, and want to start "fresh" later on in 2012 once I get stationed.
In light of all this, for now while I wait, I decided to do some research and learn about what vehicle I'd like to pick up next. Pretty much for the last 7 years, my hobby has been strictly cars, and then motorcycles. Back in 09', I joined these forums with the intent to one day own a Camaro. Now, it's on my short list of possible buys once I get stationed.
When I turned 16, I bought myself a new Hyundai Tiburon 2.7L .. I was young, thought body kits, lambo doors and altezza taillights were cool. My mindset quickly changed, and I tried making an "N/A Beast" with it. Granted, the 2.7L really couldn't ever be considered a beast. This is a video of how the car was when I sold it:
I sold it because I really wanted a V8 RWD. I hated FWD at that point, I felt out of place going to Adirondack Nationals every year with it, so I bought a car that I really enjoyed - a 2004 Pontiac GTO. I had fun with the GTO for only about 1.5 years and then sold it. Installing headers caused a CEL, so I bought a cam for it and was gonna have it tuned all at once, but then I started getting involved in motorcycles, so I got a 96' Crown Vic as a beater, sold the GTO and bought myself a couple of motorcycles.
Had fun with motorcycles for a couple years (Had a 97' CBR900RR, 06' ZX6R, 11' Z1000) but recently sold my final bike because I really won't have any time to ride.
I hear when you get stationed, you can have 1 vehicle on base, so a motorcycle is pretty much out of the question (At least probably for the next couple years or so till I can live off base). Which then meant, I want to get back into cars.
So, the top 3 choices in my head right now would be a low mileage Camaro 1SS or 2SS, new/newer Dodge Challenger R/T (6MT), or a 2013 Hyundai Genesis 3.8L
I'd like another V8 muscle car, so I'm really siding towards the Camaro or Challenger, and that's why I am here - to read and learn.
Sorry for the long intro, hope it was worth your time.
Regards,
Kyle
