How far are you from Virginia?

Corey,
How far are you from Virginia? British Columbia is above Maine isn't it? If so, it would probably take me a few days to get up there for a visit to the shop.

What does geography mean?

I guess I need to brush up on my geography don't I? Everytime I see a rusted out 1st Gen Toyota I think of www.toyotafiberglass.com It must be nice to be able to make a Toyota young again.
