i'm moving from the balt/dc area up to ny, specifically astoria (in queens) in a few weeks. I want to take my my m3 up there for the summer but I think i'd need a garage for it, i wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it on the streets. Anyone know of somewhere i could rent a garage for 4 months or so or where i could find one? TIA, i'll be moving up apr 4th :)

anyone?

btw what tracks are in the area? I guess lime rock and poconos are pretty close.

would anyone risk parking their car on the streets in astoria, or am i just asking to get it stolen?

Do not park on the street the car will get destroyed. Just drive around the hood and find a nice garage. Pocono and Lime rock are just under 3hrs away with Pocono being alittle closer I think. English Town is probably just under 2hrs from Queens.

Oh expect to pay about $200/month.

I live in astoria, There are some parking garages for rent by me. I parked my car for a year in the street and i never had a problem.

edit no one will want to steal your car there are too many greeks with bmw, benz around here anyways.

where you moving to in astoria? best bet is to look into the classifieds for a garage, or any off street parking... getting it stolen is not so much an issue, as getting it wrecked...

it's all ellines in Astoria. Great place to be. As for parking on the street, doubt you will have it stolen, but you never know. Good luck. Yasas

Astoria isn't a bad neighborhood at all. It's probably one of the nicer Queens neighborhoods. It is however, a big city, so you can't say for sure nothing will happen.

i'll be living off ditmars on hazen street. The house i'll be living at has a garage but my roomate will most likely be using it for his 300zx. the neighborhood in which i'll be staying seems to have a good amount of street parking.

i'll most likely be working at a bank until summer, then i will be applying for a "career" job in my field (economics).

I found some garages on craigslist, hopefully i'll be able to find one near the house. I'll be taking up my altima next week so i'll use the next couple of weeks to try and find someone to let me rent their garage for the summer.

you roommate has a 300zx... hum... ask him if he's on twinturbo.net and if so, what' his handle. i've pretty much met everyone on that board in the NE.

Astoria is safe as sh*t. Hell most of the Greeks are driving around in $80K Benz's...I park on 32nd street right near Astoria bank, not a single problem yet.

Bruno...I think I've seen you car around. Sick car bro...
