Heck, I would easily buy a Cayman, but I don't want to hang out with those guys over there... zzzzzzzz and BOR-ing. The party is happening here in the 996 area.
Marc, I agree that if there is an offending post or pic that only that post should be edited out, and a warning sent to the poster to reign it in.
Heck, if it wasn't for the 996 Forum here, I'd be forced to sit quietly and play with my weiner(mobile) which I have offically retired today as my avatar.

Well this answers my question about whether or not you guys check out the other areas. As for the 996 forum, yeah, seems good and I agree that the age of the car shapes the direction in the forum. What I haven't seen is a "what you like best/worst" thread.

Redridge,
Glad to hear you got the camera! You are SO going to enjoy that thing, especially with kids.
Not sure how long I will keep the new avatar. The last S3B Viking squadron, VS 22, stood down and was decomissioned a couple weeks ago, here in Jax. They were my first S3A squadron all the way back in 1978 when the aircraft were still brand new, and NAS Cecil Field was a Master Jet Base (now a growing business center owned by the City of Jacksonville). All but 4 S3B's are headed to Davis-Monthon for mothballing. Those last 4 are headed to do sweep duty at the live missle range in the Pacific, and will replace the P3C and C130 currently stationed there for range clearing patrols.
P3C squadrons here in Jax have been scaling down as well. There are no squardrons left at NAS Brunswick, ME, also being turned over to the State of Maine as a result of the Base Realignment program. The 5 remaining East Coast P3C squadrons, including VP 30, the training command, will soon begin transitioning to the P7, a new aircraft based on the Boeing 737 airframe. Hard to imagine Maritime Patrol not being flown in Lockheed built aircraft. I have over 5500 hours in P3C's and 2800 hrs in S3A's. Also have over 500 traps: 200+ on the USS Saratoga CV-60, 100+ on the USS John F. Kennedy CV-67, and 200+ on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN-69. Only the Ike still sails.
But then I have been retired from the Navy almost as long as I was IN the Navy. (heavy sigh)
