You say you're from DC, but you actually live in VA or MD but are too tired to explain where.

You realize that I-395 is Northern Virginia's version of NASCAR.

Ice on the roads just means that you pay more attention to other cars, but still go 75 mph on the highways

You consider Northern VA to be in no way similar to southern VA

post yours....

Based on my most recent visit there last summer

You don't ever park your own car. That is a vallet-only activity.

You hate when people visit and want you to take them up to Vermont.

Your townhome has more vertical space than horizontal space.

 

you can't afford a townhome...or a home for that matter (cause you spend all your money on your Z)

 

you drive 20 below the speed limit in the fast lane....

you STOP instead of YIELD (slow down) on an onramp because you think its easier to merge into 60mph traffic from a DEAD STOP....

the right lanes move the fastest...

you wish you had rocket launchers and a gattling gun installed on your car...

you wish that 95% of the drivers would get mandatory driving lessons in Deutschland (Germany) for 6 months...

 

You look forward to being molested on the can of sardines known as the Metro.

You pay as much for a Taxi ride as you to do get into the club.

The only place you can have a political debate ANYWHERE, (even on the toilet of a local gas station, long story!)

Bumper cars isnt a carnival ride, its a way to park!

Roundabouts...thats all I have to say!

I will finish this later

 

1: You pass 5 cops in fairfax in less than 2 miles!!!

2: Not only will 1 cop pull you over, but a 2nd one will always stop by!!!

3: Your at Bens house at 11 p.m. working on cars and riding mini dirtbikes!!!

4: The only thing more snotty than your nose are Virginia girls

 

 

EVERYDAY

 

Hmm rocket launchers on a Z ... hmm that would be hot!! I do know some people at Army Materials Command ... Maybe a .50 cal mounted in the rear? Would that work?
lol
If I had a front end like Kelly's I could just "scoop" them out of the way ...lol

He is like the car plow

Just getting back at ya Kelly

 

u walk out to ur car after parking it for five mins to find a new door ding on top of an old one, or some moron attempting to parallel park and doing the austin powers on ur front bumper.

u go to a college party and if u dont live on campus or belong to a frat than u dont exist to ne of the ladies.

everytime u go out u see the exact same people u dont even know at the lounge or bar every week.

u pay more for gas in ur car than insurance.

u see 19 different colors on the a 93 civic hatchback w/subs and a huge vinyl sticker on the windshield.

the people who drive "safe" on 495 are the ones causing all the accidents.

 

10. Diplomatic plates really do mean you can drive like a d!ckhead and get away with it

9. You've had at least one car totalled by a pot-hole.

8. Your house has appreciated so much that you couldn't afford to buy it again.

7. You go into a coma every time Marion Berry or his son are in the news.

6. Holding up a digit for each of the $100K+ cars you see on your drive home requires taking off your shoes.

5. You've sat through seven cycles of the same light because the police were told that a motorcade might be coming through some time today.

4. You throw a stick 10 times, and 9 of those times it hits someone in the IT field.

3. Going into the city starts by reviewing your 5 different ways of telling the homeless guy in the $100 tennis shoes that you don't have any spare change for him.

2. You can tell the difference between a cop car and a washington-flyer cab at 3 miles.

and the #1 indicator that you're from Washington DC......

1. A family member comes to town and you start having nightmares about spies watching dinosaurs eating Indians painting art-work of airplanes.

 

For 3 months a few years ago you ducked, jinked, and covered from your front door/office to your car.. then while you filled up you car with gas you ducked, jinked, and covered.

 

LOL at all you guys!!! mike/kelly...you guys are crazy!! hahahahaa....gotta love va/md/dc!!

LOL...

You know you're from Washington DC when...

-When you tell your friends that live in Ashburn you'll take a plane out of
of Natl to see them

 

- You have to sell your car to afford a place with a garage

 

You forgot to mention their cell phone, lottery ticket purchases, and $15 buffet lunches! Not that I would know or anything, other than I used to see this daily!

 

Really, which buffet was your favorite!?!?!?

 

Hey man, I never ate the buffet... but 2 lbs at the SizzEx is $15... hence why I never ate at the buffet (I can't afford it)... kinda ironic, don't you think?

(hopes everyone re-evaluates their position on welfare and giving, especially in the DC area)
