Default DC area peeps...

Sup to all, just found out a couple weeks ago that I'll be moving to the DC area in mid December and was wondering what the scene is like out there...

Hope to not have to DD my car once we get out there since she is in need of a little TLC but once the weather gets nice hope to have it out and about in the area on the weekends....

Oh yeah before I forget how bad are the cops in that area on tint. The car is will be registered in south dakota but I knowsome cops around here (TX) dont seem to care..

Will post up pics later (cant do it from work)

i travel up that way every weekend to visit my girlfriend. cops dont seem to mind tint, but take it from a fellow texan, watch the speed. everything is 55 or 65 here, including interstates. you're prolly use to 75 in texas....here that is a wreckless driving ticket (ask me how i know)

just saw you're from abilene, im from snyder

County cops dont seem to care much about your tint, at least they wont pull you over for it. Might give you some **** if they pull u over for speeding though. but let a statey follow you and u can just about guarantee a ticket for it. Stateys are really bad in the northern VA area. they will pull you over for anything, and warnings from them are few and far between. if they are pulling you over, you are getting a ticket...

Depends on where you drive with the tint I live 5mins from dc and have 5% on the back and dont get bothered. But I drive my DD into DC and yes the cops will harass you about tint. But I wouldn't drive an f-body into the city anyways cause the potholes are massive.

Hopefully they'll be compensating you well when you move off base. If you want to be close to the action, you'll need to open your wallet.

Depending on what sort of standards you have for apartment living, you should be able to find a nice place with that much (assuming you're looking for a 1 bedroom).

I have 2 gripes about the area. Cost of living and traffic.
