Hey im heading from Virginia Beach Heading towards Salem... i have two options to travel

64 West to 295 around richmond to 64 west to 81 South

OR

64 East till it dies and joins with Virginia Beach Blvd/Airline Blvd (58), and Military Highway (13/460)... and just follow 460 till i get to 81

Which is quicker... ive never taken 460 before.... doing 70 i can get there between 3 h 45 min - 4 h 30 min on 64 to 81

thanx

 

Personally, I think I'd just take 81.

The last time I went to VA Beach, we drove down 460, but we drove back on 81. I'd take 81, personally. If you take 460, there are a lot of stretches where you damn well better hope you don't have any problems with your car, need to find a bathroom, etc... because a lot of it is "the middle of nowhere"

 

i would take 64 West to 295 around richmond to 64 west to 81 South

 

ya im thinkin that... the 757 locals are tellin me to take 460 though.... but i think i'll stick to the familular... once i get out of hampton roads i'll be fine... 64 sucks it hardcore between the tunnel and Bad news (newport news)...

 

I think 460 would be a tad quicker, but again.... I would hate the thought of being out in the middle of nowhere, alone, with no sign of civilization really, no cell phone service, etc. I'd rather drive an extra half hour or maybe even more, than deal with that...

 

IMO I would go 64 W to Charlottesville, 29 S to Lynchburg and then 460 W to Roanoke and then take 581N to 81 S
to Salem!

64 W to 81 S takes forever and taking 460 W across the state is long b/c of all the towns you go through! Check your map and tell me what you think. Trust me it quicker!

Also drive at night or early morning so there is less traffic.

 

Ya.. well im working on my ASEs... so if something breaks... i just need an autoparts store to supply the part... i just replaced my starter solenoid and battery cable cause the OEM one was so corroded on the starter end... hah that was fun... im thinkin 64 - 81 on the way up... and 460 back...

my car has 143K miles on it... so if she makes it up there okai i'll risk 460 back...

 

That sounds good... how long does that usually take (rough estimate)

another ? is there a Navy Federal Credit Union in either Salem or Roanoke... i would like to cash my pay cheque while im up there

 

well hey ... if someone knows of one... can ya text my cell with directions from Salem High School to the Navy Fed... my # is 7576158963... or leave a voice mail (the voice mail will say "thank you for calling conceptual motorsports"...

thanx

 

navy fed?
