NY & driving...sigh

[His Divine Shadow]

Insert CT where NY is and it's pretty much the same....🙁

Move to NC, Ray. The biggest hazards there are combines on the roads in the late summer/early fall.😀

The year was 1992...
...and I'm in the passenger seat, while my friend is driving his Mercury Lynx down 7th Avenue, through the Village, past St. Vincent's. It's Friday night, in the summertime, and the other motorists are in their extra-jumpy, doubly impatient mood. Every time we'd stop at a red light, the horns would start honking a NANOSECOND after the lights turned green. My friend, knowing little or nothing of Manhattan driving etiquette, would have a fit every time those horns would honk. "What the hell are they honking at?"
The voice from a second friend in the back seat muttered, "they want you to GO, stupid!"

Oooooooooooooooo, and ya know...

What would you all do if I cruised by with my feet out the window?? would feel good this time of year.

I see bare feet sticking out of windows occasionally as I'm driving, and I always wonder, how it'd go if I reached out and..... So far, I have yet to find out.

Feel good? Are you part eskimo? Yikes! Popsicle toes!

let me see now, I grew up in NYC, learned how to drive in the Bronx, having taken all of 10 driving lessons and passed my test without my folks having a car. The driving instructor taking me on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx and telling me if I can drive here then I can drive anywhere, Manhattan no problem, parking no problem...I now live in CT and married and Jersey boy having driven there many times...gee I have the whole Tri-State region covered.

PS...I have a mini van and 2 kids, I am not a soccer mom but I am a karate mom!! LOL...in other words watch out when I have all of 10 mins to make it from the house to the Karate school!! Honk Honk...
