I think when I get my next set of tires, I'm getting ones with real sidewalls.

Have you ever driven on Leland road? I feel the road eating away at my wheels everyday I drive on it.

I think so. I don't know very many road names outside of my subdivision other than the route numbers. But Walney and Stringfellow both suck, and 28 is always full of potholes. This place kills cars.

It's okay, the roads around NoVa have the dumbest naming system possible..

And 28 almost took my buddies NSX out of commission like a year ago haha.. Destroyed 3 of his wheels

My mother-in-law used to have a Z4 and destroyed a wheel a month on 28. I have no idea why they leave it that way.

Luckily my neighborhood HOA put our money to good use and repaved the roads in and around my neighborhood

Hey man, I don't know if you saw, but we're still doin C&C tomorrow morning. It's gonna be at 1030.

I'll try to come by, if you saw my post from earlier I'm having a little bit of car trouble at the moment. The timing might be right though because BMW of Alexandria doesn't open until 12, and The fairfax dealership is closed. If I can start her up tomorrow without any drama I'll definitely swing by. It's by USAA right? Mind taking some pictures just in case I can't make it?

Aww man I'm sorry to hear that. It's by AAA. Hopefully it'll be fairly drama-free and we'll get to see you out.

Haha. We have a few people wimping out on tomorrow because of the weather. I don't get it either lol.

The weather isn't that big of a deal if I get to hang out with other car guys and see some nice rides. At Katie's this guy brought out a Hummer H1 haha.. I doubt he cares about the weather

Haha. Nice. I only drive a Civic, and I still don't care about the weather.

The day it snowed I was sick so I didn't get to clean my car off until Friday, and one of my neighbors comes up to me and says "man if I had a car as nice as you I'd never let snow sit on it". A car is a car. I drive a 2007 328i, these go for $15k all day. His crew cab ram cost a good $10k more than my car, and he refuses to let it get dirty even though he has a lift kit on it and aggressive off-road tires.. People in nova are crazy haha.

Haha. Man I couldn't agree more. My father in law is exactly the same way. He only has Rams and is obsessed with having a Power Wagon but never goes further than McDonalds and back! Lol

Haha most truck owners around here are like that.. This guy that lives behind me DD's a diesel F250 with a 6MT. I thought it was dumb at first, and then I saw he has two first gen Vipers in the garage! Never seen him even start them up, they just sit there.

Too many people up here live by that "cars are art" malarchy. So they buy nice, expensive cars that the rest of us would kill for, and leave them at home every day.

In all fairness though, the F250 probably gets better mileage lol.

Sorry, couldn't make it up this morning. Car wouldn't start so I got a jump and had to drive out to get the battery replaced. Still waiting on it haha..

We managed to muddle through. We spent half the time inside and spent a little time outside with the cars. All in all, good times.
