I'm sure you've seen my Richmond thread, but I wanted to get opinions about Baltimore as well. I hope it's ok that these are two seperate threads, as it'll be easier for me to interact with people about the two different cities. If not, please let me know.

I'm looking into options for purchasing a home, more than likely early next spring. The D.C. area is incredibly expensive, and w/ my work schedule, I have the luxury of living pretty much anywhere that I want, as long as I'm willing to make the drive 7 days a month.

I'm not the biggest fan of living in the hell of suburbia and strip malls, and would prefer more of a 'downtown' environment where I can walk to bars, restaurants, nightlife, etc. That being said, a nice suburban neighborhood relatively convenient to the 'city' would be just fine. Think, Arlington County's relative proximity & convenience to D.C., and it's own Clarendon, Ballston area. I love those areas, I just can't afford Arlington outside of tiny condos.

Notice: I don't need to live in in an antiseptic neighborhood, but I don't want to worry about being robbed & having my car & house broken into on a nightly basis. I want to live in a nicer area, not 'the 'hood'.

So, Baltimore is one of my options, and I know little about it. What can you tell me? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thank you.

I've lost track of the massive number miatas which have recently influxed into our club, so if everybody that has one currently or has had one in the past three months would speak up that would be great. (That way I will know my targets for whom to convince to put an ubercharger on one).

And I just don't get it...

A Lamborghini Countach... 5L V12 pumping 475hp and 370ft-lbs (not a power issue)... 345 a/r rear tires (not a traction issue)... 3300lbs (not a weight issue)... 14.6s 1/4 mile....

How is my car which has half the horsepower, half the tire, and a third the torque half a second faster?

Please post this in any forums where you think there maybe interest, as Im trying to sell it fairly quickly. Price is obviously negotiable (especially for any MMer or friend). Thanks!

I seem to recall a posting on here about winter projects. Picked mine up on Friday.

I'm sure half of you have seen this, and if so, shame on you for not sharing it with me!! :finger:
