I live right in the heart of baltimore as well. (right by Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus). I drive down russell street every day and basicaly by where you are moving into. I DD my S in the spring/summer/fall so if I see another S on my morning or evening commute i'll do my usual wave unless i'm pissed off at the baltimore drivers in the morning


welcome! its an active community.

 

theft isnt as much an issue as people who just dont know how to properly parallel park! Your bumper may take a tad beating depending on your neighbors!

THIS. people cannot drive/park in baltimore for the most part. expect people cutting you off, not using a blinker, and doing just stupid shit. Trust me the S an handle it better than any cars, as the agility is awesome. never been in an accident down here in the S (knock on wood)

If you can, get a garage spot, or an outside parking spot or something.

 

Yeah I don't know if I will have it down there all the time. Gonna feel things out and but we'll be bringing my girlfriend's Type S for the most part otherwise until I get a feel for the neighborhood.

Appreciate the welcome. I'll have to get to a meet ASAP (after August 1st).

 

and welcome to the area. Here is a link to happenings for the next few months.

I lived in Baltimore area my whole life. Best part of MD is everything is close. Not sure what you like to do but DC/Baltimore is a lot of fun during weekends.
I also wouldn't lower your car too much if your s2 is DD in Baltimore. Well.... Baltimore is ~~~~~~ alright... but DC
BTW good luck to your gf's education!!!!

 

Thanks for the tips. The car is still stock (I know, shocker).

I really like how close everything is in the Baltimore area. We have a friend moving to DC as well around the same time so I assume we will be getting to know both areas.

 

I'm about 2" lower (maybe 1.25... 1.5... what ever, there is about a finger gap in the rear and about the same up front) and i'm fine in baltimore... even MLK is no problem for me and i drive on it every day. driven it many times in DC as well with no problems

 

Dont let the haters tell stock height is bad. Mine is still up there.

 

stock is fine. to each their own.

 

Welcome! I live north of Baltimore in Towson, but I often come down to the city on the weekends to go out drinking, see an Os game or hang out with friends. Driving in the city with the S isn't bad at all. As people have said, if your neighborhood has a parking lot or garage, that's awesome. Some do. I don't know if you know, but downtown is going to be the home to an indycar race in September, that'll be so cool to see. We're a social bunch, I think, most Ss that I pass exchange waves with me and most are down to get together and hang out, go for a cruise or whatever.
