i know what you mean by the whole re-enlisment bonus blowing on ebay thing. I blew mine as well. On a gun though a springfield 1911 micro, then I sold it and now i am going to buy the springfield XD 45, that thing is nice. might get a glock though. being an MP i can get it for $350 out the box, $450 wit the guide rail sight built in.

Dayum! That looks wonderful. You should have waited to get new tires with new rims. I bought new tires in the spring and then decided I wanted rims.

joholste · Post by **joholste** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 7:18 am

The reason i had to get new tires is i still had the stock contis on with 34000 miles on them and they were quite bald, i'm headed home to missouri in about 17 days and then about 10 days later i head to my hometown in nebraska and i don't feel really comfortable driving on bald tires up there... even if i do know how to drive in the snow. so i said what's the cheapest way to get some good tires. and i went to firestone and this was the best deal. I almost went with the goodyear triple tread, and i may be getting rims next summer for my birthday present to myself, so i will buy high performance tires then and i will keep these on these rims as winter rims.

Sounds like a good plan.

joholste · Post by **joholste** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 11:43 am

hey mac what is a 99D i know 88M is a truck driver, i'm an 11b

mac99d · Post by **mac99d** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 1:27 pm

Actually every one just calls me Sgt Mac or Mac. My last name is McDonald, and my favorite number is 99. So Mac99d. I am a 63M Bradley mechanic but they have me helping with the M1114 Humvee because I know more about the electronic transmission and the stuff controlled by the ECU. Besides it looks good on my NCOER.

joholste · Post by **joholste** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 8:13 pm

yah i understand that, my NCOER just got turned in...pain in the booty
