So it's not really surprising that a British beauty showed up on my block today. They were shuffling some spots in the garage and this one ended up outside for a few minutes. No pics of the front bc the attendants sitting in it shooed me away.

How do people drive in NYC? Considering the crazy cabbies, traffic, slow speeds, lack of parking, and lack of wise open spaces, even I would probably sell my truck.

This garage is right next to the apartment that I've lived in for the last two years and this is the first time I've seen this truck, if that gives you any idea. There are probably thousands of classics scattered around NYC's garages that get driven by their owners less than once a year.

As for regular driving, it's actually not that bad. Kind of like a video game. Street parking outside of Manhattan is also pretty doable.

It's not as crazy as it seems. It's actually much easier than driving in Boston because all the roads make sense and people drive with a purpose. I drove the 2002 in Manhattan twice, and it wasn't that bad. Driving the Jeep in Manhattan is much better though. being that much higher up seems to help a lot.
