Woodrow Wilson Bridge? ... That's in the opposite direction. We're heading north not south. Where basically taking 28 North (Right in front of the Ferrari Dealership) to 7 west to 15 north to 340. Or if you guys don't mind paying a toll we could take 267 to Leesburg then take 7 to 15 from there. Either way Frederick is about 40 miles away, which means about a hour drive.

How much is it just for an oil change? ... Considering it cost $60 just to fill my tank paying a $100+ to get an oil change doesn't sound so bad anymore.

I would do it at home ... but Considering I'm not familiar with Imports (my first). The mechanics might spot something that needs maintenance other than the oil change.

I get it done for free at a friend's gas station. I buy my oil from Costco and i know what i'm buying. I get the best of the best. I save up that way and a to take the used oil and add the new one is free.

Now that most of the main lights on 28 have been replaced with overpasses 28 up to Sterling is now tolerable. Sterling BLVD is the last light to go.

^ Yeah, but there's still a lot of lights south of the Dulles Expo Center, and a few pain in the *** ones north of it. But true, it's not as bad as before.

i think it was around $160 or $180 but Kelly and Mike might get discounts since they've been going there longer. yeah sounds pricey but these are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. i actually arrived when they were unloading a ferrari shipped there for service and they must have taken 15 or more minutes to back the thing out of the shipping trailer. they would back it out a bit, check the front bumper, back out more check it again... place soft cushions under the bumper, etc. so much care for detail. worth the extra $$ in my opinion. plus they had the car shining like you wouldn't believe when i went to pick it up.
