Moving Back To DC Metro

Well, apparently I have hit the rewind button about 10 years. As of late February, I will be moving back to the DC Metro area and I once again own a FD. Car will be staying in AZ a while longer as it is going to the body shop to get a GP Sports front bumper, FEED side skirts, 99 rear wing w/ Odula blade, and a fresh BB paint job.

For anyone interested, the build is at the following:

Cool to have an FD again, Boo to DC Metro. I can't get away from this place. I've tried. Three times I've moved away in the past 15 years. I'm doing it one more time... Permanently next summer after my oldest graduates highschool.

I remember meeting you in Springfield one night a long time ago! You had an MB FD with a '99 spec front bumper, right? It's good to have you and another FD back in the area!

I do real estate; if you haven't connected with anyone yet about finding a home PM me if you'd like help.

Yep, that was me! I was at that diner meet a couple times back then. Im getting an apartment for the first 1-2 years but will definitely be looking for a place after that. Its been years since Ive been in the area so I wanted to take some time to look around and find exactly what I want. For now Im going to be in north Old Town Alexandria.

Welcome back! What makes you come back if you don't mind me asking?

I've been contemplating a move for quite some time.

Family and Friends is enough to pull somebody back home, a good job offer is just icing in the cake. Welcome back!
