    Probably not, I'd imagine it's going to be expensive to get a reserved space in the parking garage. I looked the cost online of other garages in the area and the going rate seems to be around $200mo. I can't justify that expense. According to the article on the project they expect a 12-14 month construction timeline.

    Todays DCMM MTTB4!

    Full run around the DC/MD Beltway. While it not sound like much, for ME, it was pretty awesome. My FIRST drive since surgery 12 weeks ago. I am sore as all s*** hell ****** damn now, BUT, it was SOOOOOOOOOOWORTHIT! Viva la MINI! Great cause, and GREAT to see some of my MINI friends and met some more new ones!

    I DID however manage to replace my side markers, smoke out the tail lights, and do a few things here, and there, BUT that was after I got home today :(

    First Ride in Snow

    Saturday I drove Pip in a really good snowstorm for the very first time. Every expectation of my car has surpassed my initial knowledge of how these amazing cars handle Colorado winter weather. I had so much fun and I love how she handles the road. My girlfriend that I had with me was über impressed. I agree with her.
    I must say my MINI kicks some über ass.
