    So by "cleaned regularly" you are saying that you polish your knob often? :eek: :laughing:

    Need some pointers from you guys.

    I'm looking to move out of my parents house sometime in the next year and am starting to look around at apartments. I want to be in Va because driving across the river everyday is driving me insane. Haha I don't mind the distance or even sitting in traffic I just hate everything about that bridge. I need some thoughts on where to start looking though.. I'm looking for a 1 bedroom, and would like to spend as little as possible (obviously). I wouldn't mind living out towards Gainesville or manassass or something but know nothing about the neighborhoods in NoVa. Any idea of where I could start looking? There are just so many towns and it would take forever to go through all of them. Haha I don't have any specific timeframe or anything just trying to figure out about what I'm looking for and all.

    Look on Cl for a room near your work. Or a Basement with private entrance.

    The further out you go, the cheaper your rent will most likely be. But on the flip side, the longer it will take you to commute, and you will spend more in gas sitting in traffic. I know there are also apartment complex systems that do income based rent so you may be able to save a bit doing that if your income level is low enough. But then again, you get what you pay for usually. We lived in an income based apartment complex for a year and within the first month all the emblems were missing off our cars and kids would be in the breezeways all night yelling and destroying things.

    How much are you looking to pay in rent? And where do you work?

    I'd love to be in the $800 or less range, but my absolute max would be probably about $950. And I work in McLean, so there is nothing in my price range anywhere near there.

    I've looked around some on craigslist and have seen some places that are available and look good but who knows whether they'll still be there or not when I go to move. Haha

    Believe it or not....there are several places you could get in McLean, but it'll be a room or basement. I will check with my interns on where they stay....it's at or below that price range. I'll pm you with info if that helps.

    That'd be great! It'll probably be at least spring or so before I would actually move (I'm still sort of enjoying this whole living at home saving money thing haha) but any help on where to start would be great.

    I think my problem is that I have had bad experiences with roommates three different times so I'd really rather live by myself which makes everything just stupid expensive.

    Any good tire shops in the Fredericksburg area? Looking on getting some General Grabbers AT2's 265/70/17 for my stock truck. Or would I be better off just going with one of the online places?

    Same basic shit everybody else had 5 years ago.

    I ordered my tires at DTD and then took them to Little Tire in Fredericksburg for the mounting and balancing. They do a good job and had me out in no time, no real discount pricing or anything but did good job and took care of me. I have dealt with them in the past for mufflers and stuff. They were recommended to me by Iron Pig Offroad in Fredericksburg. They do all of their muffler and tire work at Little Tire.
