EDIT: its Sep 23rd at Ripkin Stadium Aberdeen MD

[jordanretro1223]

Yeah the End of Summer IA meet will be in Maryland at Ripken Stadium on September 23.

[ShootJoeC]

I heard Baltimore IA is the worst, ever.

I heard Baltimore IA is the worst, ever.

All my friends who went last year seemingly had alot of fun. I overslept which is the only reason I didn't go.

[WhosThisGuy]

I heard IA Baltimore was just a lot smaller than most people are used to. It's so close to the last big IA meet that a lot of people don't wanna make a long trip again. I'll probably be going to the one in Baltimore though.

i just hate roads up Baltimore, my Camry took some bad hits on the way there last time. if it comes to it, ill tow my Ruck up there again

yeah the location that it was in last year wasn't the best choice, it was right on the outskirts of downtown which wasn't the best part of town nor the best roads. Aberdeen is in the middle of nowhere so the roads are decent. Last year didn't compare to some of the previous IA's but it was so easy for me to drive from the garage of my apt and less than 10 minutes to the meet lol.

[jordanretro1223]

^^The fact that it's right off I95 makes is very easy to get to. It also means that you don't have to drive on virtually any local roads to get to the venue.

I95 from Baltimore to like Delaware is in good condition. There are a few bridge connections you needs to watch out for, but not because of bumps, more so because of the transitions - they tend to dip a lot sometimes.

[OSSHWA]

Well since my friend's wedding is causing me to miss H20i, I will definitely be @ IA. It won't exactly "make up for it" but it'll make the whole situation a tad bit easier to swallow

does anyone know if the PA turnpike is low car friendly?

[OSSHWA]

does anyone know if the PA turnpike is low car friendly?

I feel as though the state of PA as a whole is not all that low car friendly. The further north you go, the worse the roads get because of all the salt and errosion.

I don't know how Pennsylvania can't get it right. I'm from upstate NY.....record snowfall, daily salt/plow trucks in the winter and the roads are still better back home than they are anywhere else...lol

[marinse]

The TurnPike was good I thought, Josh and I drove up to NJ for Formula D (although Josh slept the whole way there and back)
The bridge connections are the tricky part as everywhere else...
I'm driving up in my car to PA and NJ for some Evo show and WekFest so I'll post about the carnage then lol

[SubieChik]

Josh I was watching the Mach V meet video and I saw your car. You usually go? I have never seen you there. I had to work, but my husband was there with my son in the Soarer. Dammit...fuck work....I have missed everything this year.........

My best friend used to have an '06 STI that he bought brand new back in '06, so I used to tag along with him to all the Subie events, including the Mach V open houses. Since '10 my car has become a familiar sight to the guys at Mach V.......by far the lowest car that ever goes to the open house meets......lol. Link to said video?

On a side note, the Miata is officially for sale. I'm selling it for $12,000 as I expect low ball offers. KBB actually prices my car between $13,500-$13,900......and even though I have around $10,000 sunk into this car by now, I don't expect to get KBB value for a formerly rusty slammed to the ground Miata........lol. I'm working on ads for VA Driven, facebook, Craigslist, etc etc as we speak!
