Definitely planning on a Capital tour and White House (if it's open for tours) and Arlington National Cemetery, then check out whatever monuments/museums that I have time for. He works for the Pentagon, so hopefully I can also get a bit of a Pentagon tour.

P.S. I just had the strangest bug with Firefox, was typing my reply, then Firefox locks for a few seconds, then the text I had typed appears in reverse...

The coolest part of the White House is the outside, or what you can see from walking around it. The tour is a waste of time. They just show you some rooms, pictures and a couple figures/statues. The capitol tour is cool because they take you underground, the same way Congress and Senate go. If you go through your representative, you can get a pass to see the House Floor.

Knowing someone who works in the Pentagon is a huge plus, I bet you'll get to see some cool stuff there. There are tons of tours, museums, etc. to keep your time occupied. What part of DC does your friend live in? Or is he in VA? (Downtown doesn't really mean a whole lot. )

Those in the know:

A while back someone was asking about powder coating their wheels. Then, if I remember correctly, Aaron warned against doing this to a particular type of wheels. Was it alloys?

Forged wheels, specifically (like the BBS's), because places that don't cycle the wheels properly can anneal the metal and make it softer.

Most decent PC places should be fine, but dude with an industrial oven who goes "ah, it'll be fine" = run.

I'm still in the Powder Coating bad camp.

Painting is easier and safer (though doesn't look as nice after a while).
