Navy too and looking at retirement about the same time as you. I live off Indian River rd going towards the old Ford plant in Norfolk. Are you familiar with the neighborhood? How about you? Where are you stationed? I'm at the Naval Hospital in P-Town... nope, not a corpsman, I'm a boxkicker... LOL

I know exactly what you mean. I got lost there once when I first moved there and they all thought I was some kind of cop.

I'll tell you what... just give me a number where I can call you and we can meet at the Pep Boys of Lynhaven Rd. I have to go to my rental property and do some handyman work and then I'll be heading to Steve's house. How's that sound?

I'm on Bonney Rd, between Independance and Rosemont. Right near Carmax.

I'm also in the Navy. Stationed on the TR, though currently TAD at COMNAVAIRLANT. Not quite at retirement yet. About 8 more years until then....

I was wondering where all the Buick guys were out here. I've only seen a couple on the road in the last couple years out here. What tracks do you guys go to out here?

All this talk of VaBch has me feeling nostalgic!! Spent 23 years in the Navy, and Retired from there. Spent my last 12 or so years living in Va Beach, various sea and shore commands in the area.
We lived in the Gardenwood park sub. just off Northhampton Blvd.
Got my 86 GN from Perry Buick over near Va Beach Blvd and Newtown Rd.
