New guy from Connecticut.

[Rosta97]

Hello folks,

My name is Cameron, I currently live in New Haven, CT but I am originally from New Hampshire. I am a Criminal Justice major that hopes to get a job in LE after I graduate. I joined this site because I am looking into getting a mighty deuce as a fun project/offroad vehicle. I have been interested in them since I was a little kid, and would love to own one. I hope that the information on this site can help me learn about them and eventually lead me to one.

Thanks for having such a great site.

Cameron

Thanks for the reads, Chevytruck. They provided me with a good deal of information. I don't plan to buy a deuce until at least next summer, when the funds are more available, and I have more information about them.

From what I read in your links, and have seen around the site and the web; I am leaning towards buying it private sale already titled, it just seems like a major pain and gamble buying them from GL.

At the very least, if you go private, you will then have a truck to tow other goodies from GL. Just get a towbar.

These can be very addicting!

Welcome. You won't be able to stop at owning just one. It was just a few short months ago I bought my deuce, then the infection spread to a m109a3, then a trailered mep003a, and now an 818. I fear that once you start there will never be an end. Good luck!

There are a lot of good guys here

I hear it on being addicting, but I only have the OK(and room) for a deuce from my lady. That and I already have enough expensive hobbies.

Just a friendly FYI, the term Deuce and a Half is an M series thing, and there has been absolutely no written confirmation of the term deuce in WW2 at all, maybe some wife's tails but thats it, From the MV Mag to things I have read from David Doyle, its just not accurate, Hope U do not mind the correction....
