For all intents and purposes, you have a completely different car than Jeff (well, Bobbie), James (formerly), and myself.

Hey.. hey.. (Man..I haven't been in the Mid-A HAW thread in ages).....

My coworker is going to DC for a little vacation and had a question about one of the roads.. Can anyone help?

A) I'm directionally challenged
B) I havn't been "home" or to the East Coast for that matter in 5 years...



Directions
Continue onto I-76 E
8. Take exit 161 to merge onto I-70 E toward US-30/Breezewood/Baltimore
9. Turn left to stay on I-70 E (signs for Washington D.C./Baltimore), Entering Maryland
10. Take exit 53 to merge onto I-270 S toward Washington
11. Keep right to continue on I-270 Spur S, follow signs for Interstate 495 S/North Virginia/Washington
12. Merge onto I-495 S
13. Take exit 43-44 for VA-193/George Washington Memorial Parkway/Georgetown Pike toward Great Falls Virginia/Langley/Washington
14. Take exit 43 for Geo Washington Memorial Pkwy toward Washington
15. Merge onto George Washington Memorial Pkwy, Passing through District of Columbia, Entering Virginia
16. Turn left onto Cameron St
17. Take the 2nd right onto N Pitt St
18. Take the 1st left onto King St
Destination will be on the right, Hotel Monaco, 480 King St. Alexandria


Travelling past the Pentagon, Reagan Int’l, etc.. on the Washington Parkway seems like it might take longer and be more congested. Would it make more sense to just stay on 495 and follow it down/around to to US 1/ Richmond Hwy? I could get off at US 1, head north and get to the hotel that way.

I personally would stay on 495 and hit it during the off hours. Especially for someone that doesn't know DC roads.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

• Power steering failure began at < 30K. (My own fault for not pursuing warranty repair.)
• Wheel studs. What are they made of, plastic??
• Interior plastics. What are they fitted with, a shoehorn and crisco?
• OEM tires don't fit. Should OEM tires rub around corners? Should bottoming out the suspension result in fender contact?
• I could think of more, but it's early.

Also, anyone have some suggestions on good eats in the Alexandria area?
