What did you by with your latest deployment cash? Well? Anything special? I was deployed for 8 months to Afghanistan.
What I did...
A BUNCH of fire works (returned last late June)
A LOT of beer!
BMR Tubular SFC's
BMR LCARLB's
BMR ADJ PHB
Eibach Pro kit
SLP Bilstiens
AR Rebels, 18x9 ft and 18 x 10 rear. GSD3's all around.
T56 Rebuilds 4B, Micronite and C/F syncro, LOTS more. (NEEDED!!!)
McLeod single clutch w/ master, 02 Slave
15% window tint
SLP Bowtie FT Grille
160* stat
CF Emblems for car, fill ins, nose and sides.
VHT for tails and side markers
Took about three weeks to throw all that in... Key here, don't buy more than $6000 worth of mods in a sitting. Once they flood in, it'll take you for ever to install them all!

Still currently deployed until May but so far I have bought the following
Greatest mod of them all- Paid off my car
Meziere EWP
ASP 25% underdrive pulley/balancer
Katech belt tensioner
and as soon as I get home I will be ordering a custum ground cam and install kit and once I get all that on the car Ill be getting the car professionally tuned
The rest of the extra money is going towards my other bills and just having some fun in general

Yeah you do make some extra money but I think it has a lot to do with not much to spend it on. I know some guys go to the PX everychance they get but I didnt and was able to save lots of cash.
