2021 Suburban and Tahoe released

[Anonymous]

Maybe your Suburban fits (disregarding people's ability to actually get in and out of their vehicles), but the 2019 Suburban doesn't.

The Suburban does not fit in the standard size perpendicular parking space.

If the parking-lot owner wants to have a smaller number of bigger spaces, that's up to the parking-lot owner, of course. But that's another way a person's decision to drive a Suburban affects other people.

you need to settle down guy. the pamphlet you linked says the minimum dimensions are 18'x8.5'. By your logic I take it every space in moco is the absolute minimum size and therefore it's impossible for a Suburban/Yukon to park inside a spot.

Presumably some are bigger, if you drive (your Suburban) around to look for them.

But fortunately the Suburban owner in question doesn't come to Montgomery County, because they live ON CAPITOL HILL WITH A SUBURBAN. It's hard to imagine anything more ridiculous.

Someone living in the MD exurbs visiting a DC proper parenting board is having a panic attack over my choice of family vehicle. It's obvious you can't wrap your brain around a family being in a situation where a Suburban might make sense. Try broadening your horizons a little bit, for you that might mean spending your weekend at Montgomery Mall instead of Rio.

A family on Capitol Hill in a situation where a 19-ft, 3-ton, $50,000+ vehicle that gets 15 mpg makes sense? Nope.

Okay then. What vehicle would you suggest for my family of seven that makes frequent road trips (don't forget cargo space) and occasionally tows a trailer?

What percentage of your household trips involve all 7 of you in the vehicle at once?

What percentage of your trips involve all 7 of you in the vehicle at once, while towing a trailer?

What's in the trailer?

I'm told that these families exist but all the Suburbans that I see in Montgomery County have either one or two people in them. Never towing anything.

At about 15,000 miles annually, about half the miles driven annually are at full capacity. About half of those, we are pulling a camper or boat.

Well I'm usually only towing the camper or the boat long enough to get OUT of Montgomery County, so it's not likely that you are going to see me driving around on a regular Monday through Friday towing one of those around town.

I’m baffled that a family of 7 would live on Capitol Hill. We moved the minute I found out I was pregnant.

Why does she keep saying “dc proper message board”? I’m pretty sure Jeff lived in Virginia at one time and still may? I’m also pretty sure there are VA and MD school sections.

Also, where do you park a boat in DC?

Not everyone can afford to raise a family in the city and send their kids to private. It might have been outside your social circle but there's a lot of families w/ kids in Capitol Hill.

We're a family of 4 not 7. Me, spouse, 2 kids. ILs retired and bought nearby, when we spend time with them we typically use one car.

I would think the experts on what is/isn't practical in DC would know what "west of the park" means?
