It's whatever. My parents are out of town and have a case of Bud Light in the garage I can throw in the fridge for everyone. My house isn't hot shit though so don't expect to walk into a baller ass house.

Currently posting from midway through my trip to new jersey I'm in virginia right now driving the speed limit so I don't get raped by the cops... using voice to text right now don't worry not texting while driving... I wish I was cruising with some body though it's pretty boring right now. I've been on the road since 445 this morning

I-85 North
For those of you considering the drive up to Richmond/Fredericksburg, take extra care on I-85 between the NC/VA line and Petersburg. The road condition is abyssmal. I destroyed a rim and tire on that stretch this past weekend on the way up to my cabin in PA. $900 later (at Crown Acura in Richmond - Ryan there was awesome) I have two new Michelins and a new rim on the TL. I'll take US 15 or I-95 North next time.

additional: keep a eye on the speed limits-they are different as you drive along. Va is good for giving out speeding tickets and there seem to plenty of cops hiding waiting to bounce. Actually north of Fredricksburg (closer to Richmond) gets worse as far as road conditions go-especially the middle lanes.

The roads in DC are atrocious, especially 295. I've seen 5 people pulled over on 66 from Gainesville to the 495 interchange in one day, and I see cops hiding all the time on 81. Maryland isn't so bad IMO because I can use my radar detector there.
Even though they raised the speed limits on VA interstates from 65 to 70, that doesn't mean you can go faster...anything over 80mph is still considered reckless driving, and thats a huge ticket in VA.

Received a ticket with pictures of my tsx (very clear) in Maryland. They have speed cameras set up in construction zones. It was $40.00.

on one of my many journeys between NC and NJ i got a speeding ticket in VA that forced me to appear in court in spotsylvania, lawyer up, and after all was said and done drop $700 in lawyer/court costs.
#151
is anybody staying overnight in VA for the meet and coming home sunday?? I'm driving back to NC Sunday wouldnt mind meeting up in VA and cruising with a few people for the duration of the ride back.

I live in Wilmington. If ever up for coming to the beach PM me. I have an extra room. I'm alsao looking to to a Acura meet here this summer so if any of you are willing to help I'm up for any ideas. I'm from here so I have a lot of ideas for this area for owners to meet up. There needs to be a meet on the beach for people in SE NC /NE SC Acura owners. My dealer (Stevenson Honda/Acura) will welcome all of you if we have a meet here.

Desmond that's really nice of you man! Thanks! My girlfriend and I actually made a day trip down to Wilmington and went to Kure Beach on Tuesday. I don't know how you deal with all of the traffic down there, especially during season.
#159
traffic is even worse on weekends during the season. We go to Surf City on Topsail Island-free parking, free beach but no lifeguards. We try to get there before 10AM to get a parking space. It is about 13 miles from where we live. Ocean lovers so if it isn't this beach then it is the Jersey shore.
