Have a car bigger than a Prius. Have it in black. Have it with automatic transmission. Play classical music, because being badass classy mofo that you are, you simply don't have any other option.

But then, instead of really being a badass classy mofo, cruising gently in your big car, while listening to soothing music and not minding the problems of the lesser men, you end up being this thing behind the wheel, driving like a sugar overdosed teen, probably while being utterly pissed off with that goddamn classical music. But you cannot help it, it must play because you're filming this shit. You LIKE classical music!!!

And then, there are those people that simply refuse to get out of your way. You rule this city. Town Car. Black. Honk. And honk again because NYC is about honking. You must do your part. You must prod the outsiders, the intruders, the infidels with your horn. And not be calm. Because what kind of fucking message would that send. Calm? In NYC? Well fuck you, I ain't calm because you're not supposed to be calm.

At least 96% of all his honks were just him being douche. And I didn't hear anyone else honking or being idiot behind the wheel.

On the other hand, I might be wrong. Maybe I got it all wrong.

I find honking to be the least thing wrong with this video...

1) Prius.. IN BEIGE!

2) stopping at a yellow light when theres more than enough time to go (seriously, wtf)

3) most of the honking seems to be to alert the other idiots that infact there is another car there

4) this video is wayyyyy too long....

as a NYC resident, stopping at a yellow light will get you screamed at, and for good reason... just GOOOOOOO!

Well I never was able to see in front of that Prius (if it stopped at yellow, I ain't watching this thing again), but if it stopped on yellow, then I get the point. I always assume people stop on yellow if there's no room on the opposite side of the crossing. Do I give people too much credit?

yeah NYC is full of idiot drivers, so no your not giving them too much credit, but in Manhattan you must drive very defensively which sometimes comes off as driving aggressively...

from personal expirences running 1st gear screaming down an avenue to get ahead of 3 cabs that will just STOP in whatever lane there in, to get a fair... isnt speeding or being a dick, its to avoid getting rear ended from the 3 other cabbies who just got there licenses this week

I really appreciate these replies. Of course there is about billion other things going on around the camera pointing forward.

Cabbies, I noticed they quite happily ride the lane separating lines (not sure what you call them), meaning they're sitting in two lanes, not giving a fuck. Common sight?
