[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ you jest but people who live in exurbs tend to reverse-"fish was this big" just how far out they are. I once had some guy in Ashburn tell me it takes him 30 minutes to get into the city. Sure, maybe with a helicopter.[/quote]

Now, to play devil's advocate here... my coworker and I, who live near each other in Ashburn but work in Tysons, had to be at a morning meeting in DC.  He suggested just carpooling and offered to drive because he said he gets horrible motion sickness when the passenger, which included riding on Metro.  Sure, fine, great.  I hate driving into DC anyway.  Never!  Again!

Dude drove like an absolute maniac!  Lots of speeding, slamming on his brakes, zipping in-and-out of traffic... he gave me mild carsickness with his driving.  We also made it from Ashburn to DC in 37 minutes.  THIRTY-SEVEN!  I've sat longer in traffice going from the main toll plaza to the Wiehle exit when I used to work in Reston.

I then fully understood how he was able to run so many errands during his 1-hour lunch break & eat lunch not at his desk.     [/quote]
