car headaches

I have a car now, but I'm wondering if I should go ahead and have it registered in DC or resist. I don't envision myself living in DC much longer, and if I can obtain private parking for my car, I think I should resist. Also, I haven't gotten a quote yet, but I'm wondering if the insurance will be too much. The car's currently covered under my parents' policy, and it would only cost me about $70/month for liability and collision if I keep it under that policy. In Maryland, I couldn't even get liabilty only that cheaply, and DC will likely cost me more. For those of you (if any) with a vehicle registered in DC, do you have any advice for me? I would only be using this car on the weekends.

Our cars are still registered in Louisiana, but we have off-street parking.

How much are you driving the car now? Would it be feasible to sell it and use zipcar or rentals when you need to drive?

I was in DC for less than a year but I kept Louisiana plates the whole time and never once got a ticket. I go to Philadelphia on a Sunday and I get a ticket. Moral: Philadelphia must be destroyed.

Is it Philadelphia's fault you can't read?
I jest. That was all Rachel's fault.

It is the Fault of Philly that they are a secular progressive city that makes war on the Values of the Heartland and does not allow persons on Sunday to park for free. That was seriously the first time I have ever encountered that although since then I have heard that Manhattan and a city in Arizonia have similar hateful secularist progressive laws.

But it said so right there on the meter!

Katie, you are making it harder for me to blame others. Why can't every place just have free parking on Sundays?

Because of the vast anti-Rick conspiracy, clearly.

can you obtain private parking or is that just an idea? if you are looking to pay for a spot it will probably be $100-$200/mo

how much longer is 'not too much longer' in dc? the permit is only $15/yr but registration and license and inspection and all that is a pain in the ass and $200-$300 i think all together, i forget. also you live near irving st right? that street is unzoned so you can park there for a long time before they start ticketing you

There's actually a carport at my house, but it's occupied. I'm just considering the slim chance that I might know someone who has an extra space off-street. I have no intention of paying that much. I say "not much longer," but realistically, I'll probably be here at least another year, so $200-$300 would probably be worth it.

I'm just speculating. I have no definite plans to move.
