Welcome to hampton roads my friend. Are you in the military? I live in Chesapeake and know a few people around here that are pretty cool peeps.

 

[gn86randy]

yes sir, Navy. this is my final tour b4 I retire. What part of chesapeake do you live in? since everything is so close you may live right across the street, i'm sure you know what I mean.

 

[gpadilla1071]

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:biggrin:

 

[gn86randy]

[Steve V]

hey ron No I don't think it was that car, I couldve sworn it had GNX looking wheels on it with that really Nice Dark tint.....so your in VB also where abouts?

 

[RTCarlin]

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?

 

[TurboDave]

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.
