Yeah. Thread jacks are bad enough, but thread jacks with spoilers?? C'mon, people!
NEWBIE OF DRIVING IN D.C NEEDS HELP
And to return the original poster's question… Driving in D.C. really isn't all that bad, but if you're new to it and stressing out about it, your best bet is to purchase a ticket for the 9:30 Club's parking lot.
When I first started going to the club after I moved to this area in 1998, I parked in the 9:30 Club's lot. (I didn't know how to parallel-park then, though, so I guess street parking wouldn't really have been an option anyway.)
After the first year or two, I parked on the street. I've never had any problems, but I always make sure that there is nothing visible inside my car. (And I try to park on better-traveled streets rather than true side streets, although that's really more for my safety than my car's.)
The neighborhood where the club is located is also a LOT less sketchy now than it used to be.

Sooooo much less sketchy, my stepdad always scolded me for going to 930 by myself or with friends, he recently went through there and said it's wayyy better.
I blame the gay nightclub.

we do know how to stroke the mighty shaft of an area until it comes out clean.
Just read they are adding 342 new speed cameras in DC (adding to the 140 already)
So what will dic do with the buckets of cash these will generate… maybe the gondolas to Arlington?
This made me chuckle from the mayor
"This is what I believe. We don't really – really – want to collect a dollar from those cameras" she said. "We want people to stop at red lights, stay out of bus lanes, don't run stop signs, and stop driving recklessly in our city. That's what we want."

easy: ban drivers from Virginia.
i usually run red lights, blow thru stop signs, ride on wrong side of road, go wrong way on one way street at least 100 x's a day. on a bicycle.
