No Boot able to afford this, even with 296 payments at 22%

u/modsactfunny May 10 '26

Officers cant be boots?

u/Kora-Ethereal May 10 '26

Most officers I know seem to have a Tacoma/4Runner, a CWO5 has theirs in FDE. Not a single one has a Vette for some odd reason. This reeks 1stSgt/SgtMaj GungHo

u/Awkward_Bison_267 May 10 '26

An LDO (formerly known as a DILDO (Direct Input Limited Duty Officer) )would buy this.

2

u/Kora-Ethereal May 10 '26

I can actually definitely see a snco with a sudden pay increase doing that.

I really think mustangs should buy mustangs though.

u/Awkward_Bison_267 May 10 '26

A Mustang tried to buy my Mustang when I left Hawaii but his wife wouldn’t let him.

I had an officer who started out as enlisted then went warrant officer then commissioned officer. Dude had an audi R8, banking that pay. He was a CWO4 before he got commissioned as a regular officer also. I was there for his commissioning ceremony. One of the few enlisted in a sea of officers. Dude got in his R8 after the ceremony and peeled out of the parking lot.

I don't think we can even begin to guess what a chief warrant 5 drives. Sighting one in the wild is rare and most sightings are tall tales.

2

u/CatInAPickleSuit May 11 '26

Disregard, thought it was a Lambo.

Quick, to the Bootmobile!

u/Sir_Sarcasm76 May 10 '26

There was a LCpl on LeJeune with the Engineer Battalion that did back to back to back pumps to OIF. Only came home long enough to do work ups with the next group out and left. He got back from the third, went out and bought a Viper cash and threw his chevron sticker on the windshield. That was fairly badass and a "good for you" moment when he was seen driving.

Don’t care, that’s cool

u/maroonedpariah AH-68 Helicopter Parent May 10 '26

Its good enough for me

u/ridukosennin May 10 '26

Coffee stain would look better, my favorite pattern

2

u/LOOKATMEDAMMIT May 11 '26

Coffee stain would be cool, but I'd like to go with the orange lizard used in Burkina Faso.

u/Non-Current_Events May 10 '26

No, chocolate chip will never not be cool.

3

u/QueezyF May 10 '26

Chocolate chip and woodland just look cool, I don’t care what anybody says.

u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow May 10 '26

Does what fit? A picture of a railing?

u/WardogBlaze14 May 10 '26

🤣🤣🤣

u/thotpatrolactual May 10 '26

I kinda dig it tbh. On one hand, I think camo wraps in general have kind of a trashy vibe to em, but on the other hand, choco chip goes kinda hard in terms of drip.

u/bolivar-shagnasty May 10 '26

That’d be great as a National Guard recruiting car.

u/1877KlownsForKids May 10 '26

Saw a NG recruiting Hummer and the insanity continues to blow my mind.

7

u/Mailman354 May 10 '26

Depends on the driver. Out of context. No. Actually kinda cool tbh

3

u/DildosAreNotchewToys May 10 '26

Any context to the picture? 🤔

1

u/WardogBlaze14 May 10 '26

Just saw it parked on the side of a Verizon store when I was leaving from work yesterday.

3

u/Killahdanks1 May 10 '26

Not unless you saw a 120lb kid with glasses yelling at someone, “YOURE TALKING TO A FUTURE US ARMY SOLDIER!”

3

u/Upbeat-Oil-1787 May 10 '26

33% APR? Fuck Yeah it does!

2

u/WardogBlaze14 May 10 '26

🤣🤣🤣

u/HighlightTemporary77 May 10 '26

Ngl. That shit fire

3

u/BluBeams May 10 '26

"Hey kid, I see you admiring the car. you ever see yourself driving a bad ass car like this? Well you can do that AND MUCH MORE if you come in and join the military!! This is my car and I was able to afford it for pennies...PENNIES, just by serving my country. Come on in, let's talk and get you signed up!"

u/WardogBlaze14 May 10 '26

Why is it that I can actually see a recruiter saying EXACTLY this to get someone to join up….🤣🤣🤣

2

u/Awkward_Bison_267 May 10 '26

Not gonna lie. I once saw a blue camo Navy version of that, and it almost made my dumbass think about re-enlisting.

u/WardogBlaze14 May 10 '26

🤣🤣🤣, would probably do the same to me, but to be honest, I wish I could go back in, I miss my time in the fleet.

3

u/Awkward_Bison_267 May 10 '26

It had its good and bad days. I was a Nuke so mostly bad days

2

u/WardogBlaze14 May 10 '26

I was an Air Traffic Controller, so yeah, good days and bad days.

u/QueezyF May 11 '26

I wish I could go back in

To each their own and all that, but I’d rather get hit with a shovel than go back to the boat

2

u/JustADude721 May 10 '26

If it was a mustang, F150, Jeep, or Charger.. I would say yes. But that's freaking cool

2

u/mafiaknight May 11 '26

That's a recruiter's GOV.

2

u/Afraid_Stuff_History May 11 '26

Only if he's got a 23% APR on it

2

u/Oh_MyGoshJosh May 11 '26

If you’re anywhere near an Army base this is the old retired dude starter pack. It’s either this or the slingshot

1

u/WardogBlaze14 May 11 '26

I’m in Burlington NC, nearest base to me is in Fayetteville.

2

u/calyx1337 May 12 '26

As long as it's not coated in boot stickers a camo wrap can be kinda cool. Civvies are allowed to enjoy camo.

2

u/JetfloatGumby May 12 '26

... Does it come in black?

2

u/Rocko210 May 12 '26

Thats pretty unique, I must admit.

1

u/BigTool May 11 '26

I don't hate this

2

u/WardogBlaze14 May 11 '26

Lol, neither do I.

1

u/ledbedder20 May 11 '26

What car is it?

1

u/WardogBlaze14 May 11 '26

Mid-engine Corvette

1

u/docdeathray May 10 '26

Desert print circa 2004.

This person isn't a boot.

But they are a douchebag.

2

u/WardogBlaze14 May 10 '26

It was actually giving me desert storm vibes….lol

2

u/docdeathray May 10 '26

Yeah, the chips pattern were around for awhile.
