and i used to work at FCPS DIT. The guy you're talking about isn't Al is it? I was working at Wilton Woods not too long ago
Wow!!! Small world! Haha, if you were the old NHS tech advisor, then yeah, you were the one! Haha, talk about moving on up from that old car you had... I forget what it was, you gave me a ride home in it that one afternoon, but it definitely wasn't a Z! Haha! Yeah, I ended up being tech advisor in 10th and 11th and was elected NHS prez for senior year

I'm actually part of FCPS FastTeam, the director I was talking about is the director of safety & security -- Fred Ellis.

We should meet up some time!

Since I live in Iowa (very cold) and have only had my Z for a month, I don't even know how they act when it's warm outside, but I can definitely tell you that I can go into a slide around any corner in town just by giving it a little too much gas. What you wrote sounds like par for the course for me.

By the way, did you have VDC off? I almost always drive with mine off, and that's why she slides.

shahrum, lol. awesome! sounds like we've both kinda travelled down the same path. and it looks like our hard efforts and achievements have been beneficial to us

i'll be home from tech tmrw. it sounds like we have a lot of nova people chiming in all of a sudden. so i wouldn't mind getting together. i dont know about the long skyline drive thing they'll probably do though....i'll have just come from that way and i'm in no mood to drive back down and then back up.

congrats on the car. oh yea...my old car was a white 88 maxima.... 8-)

True... maybe it shouldn't be in a shopping center... What about the roof of the United Artist Fairfax movie theater in Fairfax Town Center?

It's real close to Fair Lakes/Fair Oaks. Basically take the parkway and once you go past the 4 way intersection with the Fair Lakes signs, go to the next traffic light and make a right. Fairfax Town Center is up on the left before you go thru the next traffic light. It's hard to miss.
