But you are right and brought up a few points I have been figuring out. If I lease or buy something used, its getting street parked. I think its like $75 a year for zone stickers. If I ship the Camaro I will store it. Spots are still about $200 - $300 range. I wont do tandem, and need to make sure its big enough for the camaro. I would want to store it in the city so I have access...storing outside the city would be tough getting to and from it and probably defeat part of the purpose of having it haha.
I work down in the financial district, so its a 15 minute bus, or a 25 minute walk over Nob Hill (imagine the worst hill walk you have ever done and double it! - thats my walk home). So the car is not at all for normal transportation.
Greg - good point on the ignition switch. Its all new, but maybe its just bad.
Thanks

If it were me, I'd buy a used Cooper Mini and use that for errands and going out on the town. Bring the Camaro and store it in the city, but be very choosey on the storage - don't be afraid to walk/drive/bus ride for the right spot. Russian Hill/Polk St. is a great neighborhood, but I'd rather have my car parked in the Marina or Pac Heights. Remember, if you buy a daily driver and leave it on the street, you'll need to move it every week for street cleaning.
