Nice ride. Beautiful location.

 

looks good mang.

 

Beautiful car, gotta love the rims.

 

too bad I curbed the crap out of one of them about 10 minutes after those pics were taken Had to avoid a big-*** forklift that didn't see me, and clipped a curb

 

Damn the pics look good.

Stupid forklift

 

I wasn't going to take him on...this was one of those huge industrial forklifts that could probably lift up a dump truck.

 

Always glad to see more pics of your car and your autocross vids even more. Nice car and love the rims can't wait to get some for myself.

 

Love this one the best!!! Great view, and the car looks nice and clean. thumbs up.

 

awesome shot

 

Nice Max...hate the background pics though. I'll never miss ***.

 

you know I feel you on that Brad..all them days of pullin away from the pier..

 

so which of you VAB guys know this maxima that I spotted at ***? He's definitely in your "dub club"

can you recognize the background, For teh Win? (it's a few miles from ***)

 

actually Ive been seein a lot of Max's down here goin 20"s...they all arent lookin too well either(for example)..theres really not a lot of active .ORG members here in VAB as well, you see plenty of Max's but most arent really into the whole Maxima.Org thing..btw no more DUBS for me, I took them things off months ago..so how long are you in the area for?

 

no surprise that maxima in the pic had the, um..."red" sticker Probably some E2 who had some sea pay saved up, haah.

I was only down there for Friday night/Saturday morning for a buddy's birthday party...got there early and spent a few hours driving around my old stomping grounds (***, Norfolk, Ocean View, etc). I lived in VaBch when I was really young, and then in Norfolk from 5th to 10th grade, and for a summer after my freshman year of college.

I'm a Navy brat (and I now work for the Navy as a civilian) so I've spent alot of time around navy bases.... ALOT of time.

 

20s must be brutal down in Norfolk though...all the roads there have so many expansion joints and ridges (though few potholes), especially I64...I was getting annoyed at the roads rolling with my 18's. Couldn't imagine all that jarring around on 20's.

 

yeah pretty much been here my whole life, me and my bro (BLAXIMA2K4)..we were raised Navy brats in this area..now we're both in the service..both joined up together and have been in for almost 7 years now..and have been stationed here in VA since then...

 

you go to Maury or Granby?

 

Great pictures, just remember 1 thing, a Carrier without planes is called a target!!! I was a small boy sailor (24yrs) but I appreciate the thread, these are the 5 ships I served on. Your ride looks great, sucks about the curb hit...

USS Julius A. Furer (FFG-6) 1980 - 1984, Charleston, SC


USS Waddell (DDG-24) 1984 - 1987, San Diego, CA


USS Mobile Bay (CG-53) 1987 - 1989, Mayport, FL


USS Hewitt (DD-966) 1991 - 1993, Yokosuka, Japan


USS Bunker Hill (CG-52) 1993 - 1997, Yokosuka, Japan

 

actually raised in VA Beach..we went to SALEM...

 

Looks great Irish, sorry to hear about the run-in with the curb.

 

should have taken pics on the carrier

oh well, still looks very nice! clean and nice rims!

 

def lookin good meng...

 

sweet looking max, as always!!

 

should have taken pics of the curb damage

 

That carrier is HUGE! Nice pictures man!

 

That's some big Boats!!!! hehe

 

Nice pics. Love the backdrop.

 

GOOD THREAD!


Man your car looks fantastic...and the navy pics =

 

trust me...they are bigger in person, especially when you're on the deck. The deck is way bigger than most of the lots I autocross in...

 

nice back ground, very appropriate and classy. ive only been on the USS Intrepid in NYC, which is very cool, but with SO many planes on it you cant really get a good feel as to how big the deck is.

 

Nice pics man. two awesome examples of human engineering

 

i was on the USS Curts FFG-38 2001-2004 in Daygo

hey irish im on nas oceana hit me up

 

next time I'm down there I will...I live up in Northern Va., but am down in the Norfolk/VaB area every couple of months for work/visiting friends...

 

oh aight thats cool, i thought you were stationed in norfolk

 

nope, up in DC...though I do work for the Navy as a civilian. I know Norfolk well...lived there for almost 10 years.

 

I read you with the CVN 69 it alludes to the sexiness of the maxima!!!!! ...... i read ya

 

you know it!

 

Agreed, those rims are nice.

I was in NYC for the NYIAS on the 15th of this month.... I was tempted to
take a picture of my '84 in front of the USS Intrepid. Now I regret not
doing it.
