Rant: driving in the city sucks!

[DaWhim]

all the bumpy roads and potholes :|:|:|
people are so reckless with all the stop-and-go traffic.
the only way to park is parallel parking.

🙁 for my car...I only have it for 2 weeks.

Yeah I despise the potholes and uneven roads... rattles old cars to pieces. I don't mind reckless drivers so long as they don't actually hit me. Gotta be assertive or you're not going anywhere. Parking isn't so bad... just hope your bumper is a real bumper. 😉

Don't drive on Canal Street. It may be the worst road in America.

indeed, I hate bus and subway BOTH!
mine is a 96 subaru impreze outback. my car is not a city car. ouch...

if you are going to get a car, go farther. STAY THE FVCK AWAY FROM CITY CARS. I can't imagine how good a low mileage city car can be.

Heh, I discovered all this back in 1984 when I learned to drive. NYC...why would anyone want to live there?

DISCLAIMER: I was BORN there and LEFT there when I was 25. There's nothing I don't know about NYC. It is an expensive as hell, ZERO investment on return, Sleazepit of all that is wrong with the world.

Texas > NYC.

ps
I do miss "Museum Row" that's about it.

You go to hell. You go to hell and you die.

maybe I'm crazy, but I actually enjoy driving in NYC. if I get bored on my nights off, I do it for fun.

not that I'd actually live there (I'm too poor and hate studios), but I like that it's only a 5 minute drive away.

Any of those roads around chinatown are bad. Even the one way streets take forever to get through because of cars that decide to "block the [nonexistant] box".
