Hanger Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Wait, how is that different from all the current occupants of the area? Also, you do realize that everything shuts down if there are even flurries, right? You won't have to leave your house until the roads are plowed. now that i don't know... ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoc Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Germantown is "out of the way" from the Metro. You'll have to drive ~6 miles to get to the Shady Grove Metro (or take a bus, which WMATA offers), which is at the end of the Red Line. Not horrible, but not walking distance for sure. Also, driving down 270 in the AM is a traffic disaster...but you're from Cali, traffic is just another on of those natural disasters for you guys I still may be moving to Germantown as I have an offer out on a Condo that's a short sale. Just waiting for the approval. Hit up here: http://www.wmata.com/rail/maps/map.cfm and click "Google Map" to get an idea of where the Red Line runs. Also type in Rockville, MD in Google Maps and you'll see the little "M" along Rt. 355 to see where the Metro stops are. My suggestion - if she wants to walk to the Metro and live in MD, live somewhere along Rt 355 or somewhere near the metro stops. Wait, how is that different from all the current occupants of the area? Also, you do realize that everything shuts down if there are even flurries, right? You won't have to leave your house until the roads are plowed. Yeah...friggen stupid people in MD. I want to dump them all in NY or the Northeast for a winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyGTBiggie Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 With what we get here... You will NEVER need chains or anythign more than all season tires! ANythign bad enough for those everything shuts down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyGTBiggie Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Depends on where you are driving to. I find my setup to be within reason but I am not Frush! In DC or Baltimore you probably wont be able to be. Most of the highways are straight. GOOD LUCK trying to keep that style in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoc Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 ahhh i see, that's good to know! Can i still be hellafrush there during summer time? Fo Sho. Just be prepared for some mediocre roads in a bunch of places in MD. I rocked my 18x8.5 Rotas all last winter (not hellaflush, but just trying to make a point) with my all season tires. It doesn't snow too much in MD, not enough to warrant winter tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have my 18x8 rotas with 235s and I run fairly low with little to no issues at all. Then again I parked her in the snow, just too low! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 i'm rocking 18x9.5 +35 and 235/40/18 tires and tucking tires lol. i've heard a rumor that if i take my Subaru over there it will rust. Is it true that cars made on the east coast is different than the west coast? ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I highly highly doubt it! little road salt doesnt help rust but it is NOT that bad. Nothing like living near the ocean or where it snows more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated thefultonhow Posted September 22, 2010 I Donated Share Posted September 22, 2010 Rust, you say? Having driven some older cars, I can tell you a bit about Maryland's effects on the integrity of cars. My 1990 Legacy wagon that I had from January 2006 to August 2007 spent almost all of its life in MD, and had some pretty disastrous rust-through on the trailing edge of the left front fender, as well as surface rust on the liftgate, gas cap cover, edges of the rear doors, and probably a couple of other places I'm forgetting. My 1992 Infiniti G20 (which was garaged until 2005) had terrible rust-through on both front fenders and is starting to get some bad stuff on the rear edges of the rocker panels and in the rear wheel wells. It's in great shape compared to most of the G20s of the same vintage I saw up in New England, though -- my brother's came from RI and there were holes in the rear quarter panels, rear wheel wells, front-seat floorboards, and fenders; the whole exhaust was so rusted that I had to throw out everything but the header primary; and there was plenty of other surface rust. Newer cars are much better than ones from the early 90s when it comes to rust protection, but they will eventually rust. My LGT spent most of its life in NH (it was traded in up there earlier this year and made its way down to MD), and there is some rust on the exhaust and suspension, and very faint rust-colored discoloration on a couple of paint chips on the body. With all this said, all US cars are identically rust-proofed. When you do see a salt-belt-localized recall, it's generally because a part was insufficiently rust-proofed on cars sold throughout the country, but it was only an issue on ones driven in the salt belt.
