'General Lee' BMW M3 Confuses The Hell Out Of Us

Matt Hardigree — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 10:30:00 EDT

Porsche GT3 Cup driver Jeroen Bleekemolen did something stupid while qualifying for this weekend's Baltimore Grand Prix: he drove himself off the track into a narrow run-off zone and lost a tire. Then he did something brilliant: he got out of the car and put the tire in his passenger seat. What? More »

Helio Castroneves was braking hard into a turn during practice for this weekend's debut of the Baltimore Grand Prix when, out of nowhere, Tony Kanaan went flying over Helio's car and into he wall.

Beware The Perils Of Sidewalk Dining!

The Baltimore Sun and all of us here would just like to take a moment to remind those of you who make the decision to dine outside your local eatery — be careful.

Subie to Pump More Vehicles Through Baltimore

Davey G. Johnson — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 16:15:00 EST

Baltimore has given us many things. The Orioles, for example. The Colts, too. John Waters! ~~E. Bloom~~, ~~Richard Hell~~, ~~Joe Strummer~~, and John Doe. And now it's about to give us more Subarus. The Fuji Heavy Industries unit is planning to run an additional 31k import and export vehicles across the Maryland city's docks, as according to port officials, "Our geographic location as the closest East Coast port to the Midwest, coupled with our unique auto quality program, continues to give us great advantages over other ports." Good for you, Baltimore. Just don't start fronting like you're the next Pedro. We won't stand for that. – Davey G. Johnson More »
