    Virginia Beach, guessing from your profile you are close.

    Yeah, Virginia Beach as well. Unfortunately there's nothing in the close proximity. The Outer Banks is always a pretty drive, there's beach access but as far as trails down there, nothing. The George Washington and Jefferson National Forest is some 4+ hours away depending on where in it you go and has some decent stuff in it. The most popular trail would be FlagPole Knob. There's also Big Levels and Shoe Creek which are pretty popular and are usually done together with Shoe Creek having some good views but no real challenges.

    If you go into the local 4 Wheel Parts, there's a gentleman named Chris who works there that drives a 3rd gen and is pretty familiar with everything up there. He's able to make the trip more than I do as when I get away, I usually head to Williamsburg (about an hour away) and go mountain biking, though no real driving trails. If you're into that, there's some decent biking trail systems in the local vicinity as well.

    I got charged a whole $10 for a new hatch latch. Now I have one that works and the rear light actually comes on! :headbang:

    Do you remember the name of the company you got your extra cupholder from?

    Work on your forearm muscles and range of motion in your wrist...


    I actually kind of found it liberating to not have a project lurking over my head. Got a lot more done around the house and work, but I was itching like a crackhead to get back in the garage.
