StoleIt Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Got a question...so right now I have a nice POS daily driver. It still has alot of life in it so I don't want to get rid of it. That being said I also will want to buy a new car (looking at the 09 Camaro) when it comes out. I don't wanna turn this into a save your money type of thread, just curious if its possible to own 2 vehicles... Or say someone has a car they are working on...like an old 60's car...and then they have truck they tow it around with. Is that allowed? Or are you 100% limited to one vehicle on base? TIA
nrodgsxr Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 its allowed.. you can pay to store your car on base and work on it at the autohobby shop [ 09. January 2007, 21:25: Message edited by: Kraeji ]
brabus Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 You can have as many as you want...w/in reason (i.e. what you can park in your driveway, etc.)
Guest Rainman A-10 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 You are not allowed to have a car until you make 1Lt. After you make 1Lt you are allowed one car with a value no greater than $6969. After you make Capt the vehicle restrictions are lifted.
Guest acerascal07 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 so anyone else on base cant drive or what?

Guest KoolKat Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 This is ridiculous anyways... Real men low crawl to work. BENDY
Beaver Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I own 4 cars. Keep the POS and buy the Camaro when it comes out if that's what you want. Or you could get a real sports car, like a Corvette.
osulax05 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I thought you had to march everywhere on base
usaf36031 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 That's what theyt told me at Ellsworth a few years back...unless you were a badass CTA, who got the distinguished Golf Cart.
aspec Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 While we're on this topic, what about bikes (sport bikes)? Do most bases usually have some sort of garage you can rent to store it in or do you have to park it outside? Also, this might be a stupid question but is theft a big problem on base? I might just sell it before I commission but a lot of bases seem to be located in places that are great for riding.
Champ Kind Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I'm sure you'll be the ONLY person buying a Camaro when those come back out.....

brabus Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Nope...there's just a parking lot outside. If you use two spots, who gives a shit. As far as bikes (Mun), Vance has some shelters you can park them under, but don't know if I would completely count on it (depends on how many people have bikes and if you'll have to fight for a space or not). I don't know about the other bases. I would say theft is very little on base, and pretty much non-existent when it comes to auto.

Most CONUS bases have at a minimum a carport in married housing; but overseas you have a fair chance of being in stairwell apartments like we were for our last year at Ramstein. My bike stayed outside in the parking lot with a locked cover on it, and a disk lock. Theft isn't usually a problem but that is never an absolute sure thing. Cheers! M2
Riddller Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Anybody know what Bond was driving in his new movie? I couldn't really make it out.
aspec Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks for the reply brabus and M2. I guess another alternative is to live off base and try to get an apartment or house with a garage. I'd imagine theft isn't a huge problem on base but no telling these days...
StoleIt Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 camAro. And no thank you, I can rent a gokart on the weekends, I'd rather drive a real car. Originally posted by Aces-High: Camero, Corvette?? Get yourself a Lotus Exige S!
Guest Aces-High Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Well until you figure out what a real car is I suggest you just save your money. Until then I'll leave you with this picture to help your learning process! https://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www...ige.f34.500.jpg
