i am also in the military and this is very true.

I just got home from a fighter base (F16's ) and was amazed at the diversity of rides. 3 Evo's + an S2000 near the flight line stuff. Some C5 vettes, a 350Z, and an E36 M3. A TON of Ford F350's full of dirt - coyote huntin' i guess (the base is in the southwest), and then a whole bunch of very poorly modded imports (belonging to two stripe airmen - amazing how poor our taste is when we're 18). Funny though, most of the Viper drivers were gettin out of 9yr old Accords.

Our previous office 4 or 5 years ago had the coolest parking lot I've seen. You could probably fit only 20 cars and at least five of them were Alfa Romeos . One guy who I got to know drove a Milano with OZs and suspesion and the baddest GTV-6 I've ever seen, restored and completely modded, including a built Milano (I think) engine. His father drove a nice black 164. Then there was another guy with a newer red Spyder, and the last one was a white 164 that would show up ocasionally. Sometimes a beater 164 would park on the front too. Sometimes up to five of them were there at the same time and I would feel like I was pulling up at my office in Italy

I was also in the military back in the early 90's stationed in San Diego, and the Coronado base parking lot was like an Auto show. I remember seeing a few imported cars there, especially a nice 280ZX and a Mini Cooper, both right hand drive. There were a lot of surfer cars like VW Baja bugs, buses and squarebacks. A lot of low-budget but nice Porsches, my favorite being a black widebody 914 with a V8 swap I myself drove a widebody '79 RX-7 with sidedrafts and later a 280Z convertible
