Maryland...Again

bboylegit · 12-12-2012, 08:56 PM

I posted this in the Northeast section at first, but I guess it falls under mid-atlantic

Well, anyways, I was just trying to get people's opinions on the "car" scene out in Maryland. Do they see a lot event's out there, any good shops to bring my cars too, anyone into drifting? I might be picking up an assignment out there around the Maryland City area, so just kind of what to get an idea about what to expect.

Maryland is a State, not a City..

Other than that, its pretty cool.

Maryland City is apparently a city in MD, which I didn't know before I looked it up in Google Maps.

There is a pretty big car scene down with a bunch of big events every year in the DC metro area (MD/DC/Northern VA) and a lot of weekly meets as well. There are some good shops around here, especially AAM which are headquartered in Annapolis which is probably like 20-30 mins from where you'd be. I don't know if anyone specifically is interested in drifting here, but we're less than 2 hrs away from Summit Point Raceway and they do hold a number of drifting events there.

Good luck and hope to see you when you get here

Awesome, sounds like something to look forward to.

If you wanted to you could probably find some car meet happening within a 45 minute drive everyday of the week around here.

I want to make this clear. I often have to. AAM is in Annapolis Junction, which is closer to Columbia/Ft Meade than Annapolis.

Sorry, pet peeve of mine.

Thanks for clarifying shado...

There are also any number of specialized car clubs in the DC/MD/NoVA area. Most of the meets seem to center around Fairfax though for some reason which is a little annoying.

b1adesofcha0s · 12-14-2012, 10:25 AM

That's where a lot of the money is. A lot of exotic car meets in that area.

No. I'm talking about Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Aston Martins, etc.

Yep. All the money is here in NOVA. Great Falls and Fairfax have all the weekly exotic meets.
