Hey guys. It's been a pretty long time since I've been on here, what with the military and schooling and all. Just wanted to let you all know I'm finally at my permanent duty station here at JOINT BASE ANDREWS or Andrew's Air Force Base. I'll be here for the next 4 years or so. So if you guys have a meet or a cruise or something, I'll be more than happy to join in on the fun.
I also just picked up an 06 Mazdaspeed 6 Grand Touring 6 speed. Cant wait to take some more adventures in it.

I literally JUST left working at the Dorm Management Office (1657) there on Andrews... I'm over on JBAB now.
You mean the gray Tii? No. Im in bldg 1691, right across from starbucks.
Electrical is outside of my comfort zone. Anyone mind a quick diagnosis?
Starter solenoid rapid clicking on key turn, dash and door lights dim and flicker. Assumed battery was dying and CCA dropped. So tried jumping, same issue.
Car sat for two days after a 3 hour trip with a few stop and solid starts, so I doubt the alternator is a factor?
What should I look at now?

Are you sure you had a good connection with the jumper cables, or if you used a jump pack was it fully charged?
The Navy just "recently" (a couple months ago) moved from 1657 up to 1691. I was TDY there so I stayed in 1657 instead of moving with the rest of the Navy types.
Go tell CS2 Roa that I (Scheibel: pronounced "Shy Bull") said what's up!

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking about. An asian dude in 1624 owns that one. If you just got there than I may have been gone when you arrived. Did you check in at 1691, or down at 1657?

Gonna give the twins one more shot at proving their worth since I went through the trouble of putting on a low mileage set not that long ago. My current plan is to replace ALL the solenoids with OEM new. That outta take care of that for another 100k miles / 22 years :P
Nah, things are usually quiet around the holidays. Maybe mid Jan or Feb we could do a Karting event though. Depends on who all is interested.

Ah. I took off work the whole time between Christmas and New Year... Not much going on so was thinking a meet would be perfect. Oh well.
You could go to the Katie' cars and coffee if you've got the time on a Saturday. There aren't as many awesome cars in the winter but they still do a decent turnout.
Katie's Cars & Coffee - Great Falls - #1 Cars & Coffee in the DMV
If you post up on here that you are going, you might get some others to come out too.
