Take it to the Burger King in Manassas on Saturday (through October). There's usually show cars of all types; take it there and put a "For Sale" sign in the window.

Maybe a little insurance money will sweeten the deal?? I am friends with the older gentleman who lives 3 houses away from the house that was on fire. Apparently the home was NOT insured.

And why did only Fairfax County do this and not the entire state? I'm pretty sure VA Beach did it first and didn't have a significant drop in tax collections so Fairfax figured 'why not.' I personally think it was an easy way for Connolly to try and get some positive PR when it came to taxes, in the face of consistently (at the time) rising county taxes.

The entire police department has been given a copy of the notarized letter from our Community Association advising them that they have the right to enforce the law to the full extent inside our community as they do outside.

Your knowledge of facts are wrong my friend. I live in a community that is nothing but "private" streets". Our association has authorized the police department to enforce the law to the full extent; which includes speeding, running stop signs. loitering etc. He's right except in instances such as yours. If some doofus runs a stop sign in a private parking lot and hits your car, the police won't

Once in a while I see a FFX Co Police truck or other truck go around and take down signs. Exactly, that's why I mentioned the sheriff's office, but that's it. You don't see any other county trucks taking down signs because it's in the state right of way.

Herrity has one on Fairfax Parkway that blocks the view when you are turning left. It is the biggest sign for a politician I have ever seen. I guess him getting elected is much more important than someone getting t-boned because they cant see oncoming traffic. Where? I'm sure if you called his campaign office, he'd have it moved.
