HINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- One short test drive and Army Spc. Todd Strange is gushing "Oh, sweet! I love it!"
He's been home from Iraq a little over 30 hours and already he's trading in his little 2001 Dodge Neon for a muscle car - a 2006 Mustang GT, V-8 engine, price tag $26,320.
"I'm buying the car to show off, pretty much," admits Strange, 26, of St. Louis.
Business has been booming in this southeast Georgia town since just after Christmas when thousands of 3rd Infantry Division troops from neighboring Fort Stewart began returning from a yearlong tour in Iraq and finding their bank accounts flush with combat pay, tax breaks and bonuses
