It won’t exactly be the eighth wonder of the world, but it will be big — like, Guinness World Records big.

That’s what President Donald Trump promised last week when he unveiled plans to build a parking garage with space for 32,000 cars as part of his sweeping $22.5 billion renovation of Dulles International Airport.

“We’re building a massive … parking garage that will be right next to the terminal,” he said as he sat in front of a model of the new airport splayed across the top of the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. “It’ll be the largest garage in the world. Thirty-two thousand is big. It will be beautiful.”
