Commute aside, I've heard (from MIT interviewers) that the Falls Church schools are high-quality because the district is small.

Fairfax County schools among the finest in the nation. Scuba is correct about the commute. Burke-Springfield-Orange Hunt-Lorton would be good starting points for buying or rental. Good luck, and welcome to the area.

When I lived in Old Town, and then Chinatown, it would take 2-3 hours to get outside the beltway on Friday afternoon. Nice to punch the ticket living within walking distance to Caps games and rooftop fireworks on The Mall (and being solicited every vice known to man on my three block wall to the metro) - but never again!

Figured it had to be done and wasn't going to get any easier once we were mid-move. So, all good news, the 700 test drive went without a hitch. Well, minus striking a dead wildebeast in the middle of the highway, bending the horizontal support beam back and obstructing the shifter cables.. luckily was able to unbolt and make right with a dead blow hammer sourced a few blocks away from the hotel.

So, here now and staying in Falls Church while on the hunt for a home - looking for something easily accessible to Fort Belvoir with a good school system K-12.

Thanks and looking forward to joining in on some events!

Craig



Welcome..and glad another turbo is in the area..Cheers

Having driven that route in the past..Fairfax county schools are one of the best in the area. Straight shot on Fairfax county Parkway....Traffic not too bad

Welcome Craig,

What's your price range? We are putting our house on to the market soon and the neighbors are already used to Porsches in the driveway and street.

We're in the Laurel Ridge/Robinson school district which is one of the best.

Stephen

Default Hello from Luftwaffle

Hello all,
First post as the new owner of this 84 911! Very excited to have found a car after many months of looking. I'm in Lorton and always game for group drives or using my limited skills to assist with a project. I'm new to ownership, so expect lots of questions as I get acquainted with my new ride.

That's a great looking ride! I have been enjoying my '86 Targa since last fall. Bring your car to one of our PCA Tech Sessions if you want a thorough peak underneath.

Welcome!
