Yeah, guy was head of global development or something along those lines. Didn't matter where he lived.

A lot of those aren't people's primary residence either. Like the Silva guy I know didn't live there full time. He was only here a few times a year because he owned a restaurant here.

It's just dumb luck if you're exactly calibrated because tires can vary in actual size vs the numbered size. More common in lifted trucks, but the bigger the tire the more your speedometer will be off and most people don't bother to change their speedometer gear to match the new tire size. It's not unusual for a regular car to be off by 1-2 mph though.

Off the top of my head that I can remember, there's a few members of the family that used to own Eagle, a Federal judge, some VP for Six Flags, and one of the Silva guys from UFC have homes there, want to say it's Joe Silva but I can't remember.

Vast majority of customers I dealt with that lived there were 50+. That neighborhood was also by far the biggest of the asshole homeowners of Eagle's neighborhoods.

Location. They're cheap shitboxes otherwise. Worked on most of them, they're definitely not worth the price as far as the construction goes. They're $100k shitboxes on $700k worth of land like everything else new out in Short Pump and Goochland.

Fun fact, the original section you can hear the pipes rattle against the studs if your neighbor takes a shit in their 3rd floor half bath because the plumbers didn't strap any of the plumbing to the framing.

Wrong on both accounts. Throttling has been proven time and again despite their claims they don't do it anymore (they openly admitted to it in the past) and they took their data cap national last year, VA was previously unaffected. It's capped at 1 Tb/month unless you pay another $35/m for unlimited now. Just because your usage isn't enough to notice either doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

There's like 3 or 4 around Richmond still. No idea on that location though. One on Hull St wasnt bad last time I went. Been a couple years though.

Ticket Master had gotten so out of hand that the justice department has started an investigation about 30 years too late.

Looked into Judas Priest tickets last year. $60 for lawn tickets. Was over $200 with all the fees. Saw them in 2019 in DC and think I paid like $30 total.
