Perfect day in VA
Hey Guys-
I'm not sure if any of you are new to the Northern VA area or have trekked down 50 towards Winchester in the past, if you have not experienced the drive I would highly recommend it! I generally pull my car our after the winter hibernation and take a spirited drive down this path. It makes one appreciate the car and what it is capable of. The drive definitely takes one’s mind of the everyday grind many of us deal with in Nova. I find it crazy to think you can be in DC in an hour or less at the right time from Middleburg. The drive always reminds me of being back home in the UK. A very good stress reliever especially on a day like today!!
I was recently contemplating moving close to some of my family in S. Florida, but realized after the drive this morning I could never do that. Florida is just a different place, i must be honest that it almost feels fake to me and everything looks the same and the roads are flat, so much law enforcement in Miami too. Some of the worst drivers I have come across, I could go on for days. Yeah the winters can be brutal at times here and frigid temps on a few occasions the past couple months. Days like today make up for it, i like seeing the change of the seasons.
I absolutely love my car after 7 yrs of ownership and the area i live, please treat yourself to this drive if you're from the area or visiting:

I thought in VA they put you in jail for spirited driving...?

No doubt about it, the price we pay for perfect conditions. Congrats on your recent acquisition. Please consider this path as a break-in period. 😉

Sadly I can't have my car up in Arlington now, would love to be driving out that way now.
But..... If you get down the the blue ridge parkway.... Probably the best drive ever, especially in the fall.
