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.

thats cool and all... but i'm worried about those bars that actually lift/pull the car... do they go onto the tires?.. frame? undercarriage? What if 4 people or more leave the garage at the same time? i need to wait for that thing to get all 4 cars if i'm last in line? not cool. and if it breaks? "sorry i couldn't make it to work today... my garage broke..." "oh you mean your garage door wouldn't open? just release the latch and pull it up yourself" ... "no.. i mean my automatic garage that gets my car from its parking spot broke... i couldn't even walk TO my car."
lol
ok ok

It is completely stock - not just ride height. It's hard to keep a car stock around here.
That thing is f'ing insane. Wonder if you can get a consumer version!
Dude stay at he pallasides! It comes with an automatic parking garage!

well originally im from literally 3 blocks away from the school but i live north of Baltimore now in Towson. Its really not that bad man, dont listen to the hype, i grew up in downtown Baltimore and saw my share of crap but it was never crazy bad! Just stay out of certain areas at night lol. And depending on what part of town youre parking in you should be fine, 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! When ya moving in?
and welcome! City living is just that. Bumpers get screwed up, street parking sucks.. etc.. there are good/bad parts in Baltimore. I know of someone who had their top cut on a 2 week old car (bright red mustang...) that was parked on the street.. just so they could have his radio. I personally wouldn't park my s2k on the street there, but that's just me. Definitely a good idea to feel out the area first - and get to know your neighbors

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!!!!
and i drive on it every day. driven it many times in DC as well with no problems
