muawiyah is a fool. He is someone who is clueless about Virginia, gets Ashland and Ashburn hopelessly confused as well as not recognizing Mechanicsville. If anyone was truly knowledgeable of Virginia, they would have known immediately that Mechanicsville is in the Richmond area. It has its own zip code and mailing address in the Richmond area and everything!!
There may be other places referred to in Virginia as Mechanicsville, but the one I have heard my whole life and other people refer to is in the Richmond area.
What is so laughable is that he continues to insist he can drive from Springfield to downtown Richmond in under an hour.
It can't be done. The distance is about 90 miles or so and since I have driven this route hundreds and hundreds of times the last 25 years, I know it can't be done.
This person insists that there are back roads he knows about. The only alternative is Route 1, which is slower and not faster, particularly between Springfield and Fredericksburg. There is only ONE alternative north-south route and that is Route 1.
Usually, when someone like muawiyah has been proven a fool, they usually just fade away from a thread, cease and desist from further comment. This guy is not only a fraud, he is arrogant since he insists he is right because of those back roads. I won't even comment when he says the actual amount of through traffic on the Washington Beltway is 2% because we all know that is hilariously ridiculous.
Perhaps, I should just count my blessings and be thankful that I don't have to commute on his back roads, work with him or have him for a neighbor.
Nice knowing you. (IBTZ).
Why someone could turn my original post into a vendetta speaks volume's about that someone.
