I know you guys bashed me before, but im going to say it again!
Getting a car was a good thing for me. Maybe not for everyone, but for most, having a car was good because it allowed you to get around on your own. Bumming rides is fine for about 2 months. What you guys ARENT taking into consideration is T-Track. If I didnt have a car for T-Track Id have gone insane!!!
Lafeet - getting a loan from NFCU is NOT gaurenteed at all. Even thuogh they say our loans are 100% gaurenteed, I could not get any kind of loan from them for a long time. I got a personal loan from them to get my clutch fixed up after hassling with Fleet and Family support center for a long time. Getting a car loan allowed me to build up my credit again, and get re established I guess.
Good luck, dont bring anything but a smile for your RDC's, and come expecting to learn!
