I was at Ft.Richardson in 99 and I wanted to buy a 30th annv. but it was winter and my team leader said when the hell can you drive that thing the 3 months of summer. So I know how bad it sucks.

I am stationed up here at elmendorf. Belive me you car is not worthless. I have two camaro's that me and my wide drive up here year long. My buddy drives a 2000 WS6 year long as well. In all there are about 7 of 8 f-bodys that are always on the base. There is even a guy who drives a Ferreri off base in the snow. You have any questions PM me. I have been here for 3 years now and not once have I ever got stuck or in an accident. Its not as bad as you think!

Just wondering but whats your job?

It's not that bad up there. Check out www.Alaskamotorsports.com Board a bunch of us then locals put together several years ago which has become pretty popular. Yes, you won't be able to drive your car year round, but you will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful drag strips in the country, and the ability to make dozens of passes each trip to the track.

I was stationed there last year. Just some info it is not dark for 3 months straight. The sun comes up at about 10 to 1030 and goes down at about 330 to 4. That is the shortist day you will have. as far as the light for 3 months it is light out but not like the midle of the day. it will be like early morning right when the sun comes up at about 3 in the morning, that will be the darkest for about 2 months. And you will love it if you get out and enjoy the area. and you will love the great alaskan bush company!

Elmendorf isn't bad... it's a lot better than being in Korea, I only get to look at pictures of my cars...

And I hate Hyndais and Kias.

Depends on where you were stationed at, If you were stationed near Fairbanks then it should be. I still have friends there.
