In the regional RX8 forum I answered up in the San Diego 8s thread.

I am E-4. I have been in the Navy 2 1/2 years, have been stationed in 5 states across the US, and currently in the middle of my 2nd deployment.

The RX8 was my first vehicle. I put down $3000 and a $28,000 5.65% 72 month check and have been quite happy ever since on 2005 black/red 6spd. Although I have been hit twice so far in San Diego, and have numerous door dings and scratches from mysterious parking lot incidents. I will have to take care of those once I return to homeport. I anticipate spending another $1000 for a 4 camera video surveillance system w/ impact and intrusion sensors.

People assume I can just keep paying the $200 deductible for each little door ding. Yeah right.

Where are you stationed in San Diego? Nice to see another navy person on here. What's your rate?

Absolutely. You have to put up with the deployments so I would count that as military also.

CPL(E-4), United States Marine Corps. I was starting to worry I was the only crazy one here. Will post up a pic of my ride when I get home from iraq (LEAVING TODAY - ONE YEAR DONE WOOOOO!!!!) Sorry, couldn't hold that one in. job - 2844 radio tech BUT I work in billeting right now giving everyone rooms and such, I consider it a glorified landlord that doesn't collect rent money.

Bought mine in Oct 2003 as a pre-retirement present. Next month I'll say good- bye to the Navy after 20 years of service. Gotta find another job soon because I still have 16 more payments left on the car. . .!
