Besides sit in traffic, what is there to do in NoVA?
 
Anything? I'm here for business, and I'll be here for business a few nights a week for up to a couple months.

shuiend 05-25-2010 02:31 PM

Where exactly in NoVA are you? Also do you have transportation around? If so you can come to my house and finish wiring my MS because I am to lazy to do it.

Gangbang! Or just beers and lets see where it takes us.

I'll be staying in the Reston area mostly. I've got my slow ass miata, though when it gets hotter, I might rent something for my trips, for some reason the AC only works on fan speed 1 (which doesn't do dick).

Jethro Tull at wolf trap in a few weeks, that might be cool.

Braineack 05-25-2010 03:58 PM

Y8s works in Reston, and we are all a stones throw away.

the fan speed is a bad switch i bet, it's a variable resistor sorta thing when you flip to the next speed.

y8s 05-25-2010 03:59 PM

Reston is not exactly what i call "a fun place to hang out"

so i dont.

I don't think I have that much time. However, Embassy Suites has free happy hour from 5:30 to 7:30 every day, so until I figure out what to do, that's a good start. There's a Ruth's Chris next door to the one in McLean too.


I'll try swapping the control-box-thinger with the one out of my wreck this weekend. I just hate trying to feed the bicycle brake lines through the dash :vash:

shuiend 05-25-2010 06:26 PM

I hear there is a great pizza place in Arlington call the Lost Dog Cafe. Any one game for getting some pizza there?

Braineack 05-25-2010 07:02 PM

its not as good as tony, ciros, or bon appetite. not the same league, however they do have good beer selection...but im more privy to go to stray cat cafe.

im so game either way.

shuiend 05-25-2010 10:28 PM

I was simply using the pizza as an excuse to go buy more beer.

oilstain 05-25-2010 11:00 PM

Free happy hour = derp
Eat at Ruths w/wine = derp
Back to bar for more beer = derp
Finish night with a few more stellas = derp

Four derp night, not bad. Bonus, saw some asshat at the bar at Ruth's try to pick a fight with a dude that would have ripped him to shreds, lol. Ruth's Chris, the biker bar.

How about a Thursday pizza/beer night? You gays pick the spot, I dunno bout your pizza down here.

y8s 05-25-2010 11:32 PM

i'd do the lost dog. it's over my back fence.

i probably wouldn't do ruth's cris.

btw, scott, I made lars stop at lost dog on his way home the other day. beer and teenagers everywhere in there. perfect for him.

oh and another fun place to hang is Galaxy Hut. small, good beer, live music. by the clarendon ho-fu.

It was Heaven. I should have stayed and gotten some pizza, just so I could stair at the girls longer.

Lost Dog Cafe and more beer do not equate. They've got a beer limit. Sucks for us huskier people.


Um, I work in Reston Mon-Fri. I usually leave work around 6:45 p.m. I'm right across the street from Champps, off Sunset Hills.

Webby and I will be at FedEx this Saturday and Sunday, autocrossing. We're in heat 3 (safe to say we'll be racing after 12:00 or 1 p.m. I will probably offer 2 ride-alongs, Webby might do the same.

We will be meeting Brainy FRIDAY night in Falls Church, near his house around 8ish? Webby's bringing a tranny down for him. Also, we'll need grub and drink afterwards. If you want to meet 3 of the COOLEST people in NoVA at that particular moment, then you will be in luck. If you are planning on going back to B'more to get robbed and smoke crack, then you will be out of luck.

BTW, which days are you in Reston? I'd suggest meeting up for REALLY good wings in Ashburn (about 20 min drive) on Mondays w/ me and some of the Subaru (NASIOC) guys.

I gotta bounce mid-day Friday, so can't do Friday night, got big plans on smokin rock. Still up for tomorrow night, or if nobody likes me then I'll be back next week.

I can do Mondays occasionally, right now I'm planning to be down here Tuesdays through Thursdays as my regular schedule. I do love wangs :giggle:

If it wasn't for the holiday on Monday, I might be able to get the company to put me up Sunday night, I'd love to ride along at the autocross. But I'm really not feeling driving to Baltimore on Friday, then back down and back again on Sat or Sun, then back down again on Tues.

Braineack 05-26-2010 10:12 AM

You should bring the trans to my parents house, and then pick up my racing seat for use over the weekend...

Newbsauce 05-26-2010 11:36 AM

I'd be down for drinking in Reston. Or going to Buffalo Wing Factory. Word.

ScottFW 05-26-2010 11:37 AM

I'm down for pizza & beer whenever y'all decide to meet.

I may possibly stop by FedEx on Sunday to check it out. The tentative plan is to drive up to Delaware in the morning to meet TurboTim and pick up my parts, and assuming that happens I should be able to swing by the stadium for a couple hours on the way back.

So install party at your house on Monday for V-Band Awesomeness?


I am free tomorrow night. Someone figure out where we are going and what time so I can be there.

ScottFW 05-26-2010 12:06 PM

No, not quite yet. I still need to pick up an IC and some piping and other misc stuff. Plus I have back-to-back track weekends at VIR and Summit in a little over 2 weeks, and with our house renovations also going on right now, there is no way I will have enough time to get things installed, tuned & sorted before the track events. But I can see the glorious light of boost at the end of the tunnel. I'm hoping to be installing in July.

I went to BWF once... it's pretty awful and replete with very large customers.

Champps would be ok but then I have to drive home.

neogenesis2004 05-26-2010 02:22 PM

Give me a time and I will be there. I will be out of the beer I bought from there and Western Market come about 5:30pm tonight, so I will need to buy more soon.

Braineack 05-26-2010 03:10 PM

y8s 05-26-2010 04:00 PM

I am pretty sure thats because you have a Vagina and women with beards just look freaky.

Braineack 05-27-2010 08:20 AM

I'm beginning to think maybe my parents had to make an important decision once I was born...it also explain why I've been taking testosterone ever since I can remember.

That'd be me :) I get bored at work occasionally. My definition of occasionally is: Something that occurs all the time; continually.

Got stuck in a godawful rain storm on the way home! You guys know how much I love driving on the highway in the rain, my car was just lookin for a tractor trailer to duck under.

It was nice meeting yous, like I said, I'll be down here a bit, we should do this again sometime (after the chafing subsides)

I also got stuck in the rain storm, heading west towards it with the top down. While staying above 35 keeps the water out, it does not keep hail out at all. Also the rollbar makes a great thing to swing water back onto the inside of the windshield. I eventually had to pull over and put my top up, and then take off my shirt to try to clean off the inside of the window. God damn it was a horrible ride home. I didn't even get to try out 12psi.

Braineack 05-28-2010 09:10 AM

but i bet your idle was great when you pulled off the the side of teh road.

oilstain 06-02-2010 09:01 AM

Oh Brain, yous was right! I swapped out the hvac controls from my parts car, and it works! Having ac is awesome. I don't think I'd be able to handle a daily without it, I have to wear real clothes to work, no mesh tank tops for me.

Braineack 06-02-2010 09:03 AM

I love it when i'm right. it doesn't happen often so i must savor this moment.

Do you like cleaning up a gallon of oil filled w/ breading or whatever? Me neither!

y8s 06-02-2010 07:36 PM

I sure don't. I steam / bake or grill them. there's no gallon of anything.
