I haven’t been back to DC in a few days, but will be walking the garage with a tape measure soon. Thanks for this man

No problem. I'd been meaning to do it for myself too.

How important is it for you to have instant access to your truck? I lived in D.C. in the early 00s and lived on N street near 31st in NW with the same issue you have. I grew tired of fighting for street parking and more often that not I'd end up parking 2-3 blocks away making the walk to my Jeep near 10min. I searched for a long while trying to find a garage in DC that wasn't a steep descent into a low ceiling and never was successful. Eventually I just accepted the fact if I wanted a garage I'd need to look towards Arlington and just learn to use the MTA.

It really all depends on where you typically go. For me, 85% of the time I went into NOVA so I initially found a garage in Rosslyn that offered a monthly rate. It also didn't hurt I was able to write off most of my parking though it was a hassle to keep accurate data. The problem with the Rosslyn location was it took FOREVER to get topside, especially when I would ride my bike down to Foggy Bottom instead of waiting for a bus.

Again I can't remember the last garage I chose, which I used for almost 2 years. It's more I can't remember what Metro station I used since the garage was accessible while staying underground. It was either Falls Church or Ballston though I'm tempted to say the latter because I remember often hitting the Food Court in the Mall's basement because it was quick to get to after I parked.

After getting used to this it's the method I actually preferred because it really did save a massive amount of time. My roomate and I could leave at the same time with him parking on the street and me needing to Metro hop. I could beat him out to Chantilly by easily 30min and that was on a weekend. If it was a weekday that time difference would be hilarious.

Really appreciate your feedback here amigo.

Truth is, this car will be used sparingly... I have a car that is a lease, that is the main work horse.

I have started down a new worm hole... trying to find a detached car garage for sale in Georgetown. Some of the asking prices have been ridiculous, but in talks with a few sellers now...

Thanks again!
