Yea, I'd be a bit pissed if that's what's gonna happen. Nonetheless, has anyone checked the damn forecast? It's supposed to rain all day. I'm not sure I can be driving the car on the highway in the rain with these tires.

The frequency of cops hiding along the highway on the way to VA beach is BRUTAL at times.
Nah, I don't have a radar detector. I thought about buying one for this occasion, but never got around to it. Makes it difficult to get one with VA laws . I'm not really fimiliar with alexandria, but I-495 for me is on Little River Turnpike between NOVA college, and entering annandale. Don't know if you have a clue where I'm talking about, but we could meet at a parking lot in annandale area.

BTW: I'm still f*cked with my speed limiter. Does anyone have a programmer for a 94? Yeh it would suck if it rained. I didn't bother to check the weather since It might just rain here..?
