Moving to VA in spring/summer

A friend of mine and I have been thinking about getting away from NY and moving south, preferably in VA. Any tips for us? Where to live, good/bad areas, job opportunities, etc... stuff like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and yes, I will be bringing my car lol.

North Carolina is also in consideration

Are you guys thinking living in VA near Washington or out in the sticks? My dad lives in Winchester which is like an hour and a half east of DC and it's really really nice out there if you like more rural areas. One thing though, no matter where you live in VA... take a trip to Skyline Drive. Might be a little far depending where you move but its the most fun I've ever had on a public road (think - mountain twistys for 110 miles )

Herndon or Reston area if you have the money. Wonderful area with a pretty well progressing economy and area development. 2nd richest schools out here also.

Have fun getting ass raped by the cops down here for having an aftermarket exhuast.

I have like 11.....or is it 14....maybe like 17....exhaust tickets. Fun ****.

But overall the car scene down here is fantastic. Lots of big shows out this way (HIN, Hyperfest, Redline Time Attack, Nopi, etc etc).

Just dick cops.
