i just talked to him. he has decided against the trans am. I told him again to think about waiting until he had a permanent duty station to think about getting a car. he told me that if he did not have a car to work on he thinks that he will go crazy. it is his way of meditation. I told him that i fully understand and to just be smart about what car he decides on. that when he ships out next year to just get a car carrier to bring it home and i will look after it until he gets back. he said that he knew i would say that.
