Hello all,

As some of you may know, I planned a move to Virginia to do some Physics work. Well, I'm out here and god does it suck (see sig). I don't know how any of you can live out here on the East coast. I came from Colorado where everything is great and there isn't any congestion.

First and formost I noticed that VA is some sort of Communist police state. There is literally a cop for every 250 cars I see. UNREAL. Also of note is how bad the driving is here. People don't use blinkers, cut you off at will and I see at least one crash on the way home every day! God they grow them stupid out here.

On a car note: I finally installed my Energy Suspension poly kit, NISMO S-Tunes, Battle Version TC rods and SPL subframe spacers. The nice thing about the Manassas area is that the roads are glass smooth because damn if the ride isn't bumpy and stiff. I can't image what you guys with coilovers deal with!

That's it for now. I'm on dialup until I figure out how I want to go (satellite or DSL) because from what I hear the cable backbone isn't very good around here.

Where's the NICO meet in the VA area?

Welcome to the East Coast!! We dont need no stinkin blinkers...

I kinda new out here myself, but I havent heard of a NICO meet nearby. Theres a lot of PA/MD/VA guys around. Maybe we should set something up for the spring.

Oh yeah, we have a lot of cops cause we have a lot of PEOPLE.

Well another two days have passed and I guess that I'll never really get used to the massive congestion and traffic. Why would there only be two roads in and out of town? Damn.

The 240's clutch doesn't like this stop and go traffic and I think that it's starting to give out, I'll post in the Technical forums to see what the problem is; I have my suspisions!

And yes, a pseudo-VA area meet would be sweet but god knows I'm not the one to set that up! I still don't know where Target is!
