So I've been in New York for 4 weeks now, and not only did I gain 2 kilos in weight, I also saw a few sweet cars. Mind you, some of them might seem ordinary, but for someone seeing them for the first time they are quite impressive and noteworthy (like the Chevy SS or any other american muscle).

It looks amazing, although it could do without the chrome rims. So sad they don't sell these in Germany...

buy a Vauxhall VXR8 from the UK? or give Erich Bitter a ring he makes the Vero a LWB Chev Caprice version or another option , import one

True, but the Vauxhall has the steering wheel on the wrong side and the Bitter Vero doesn't look as good.

As we write for the same blog and topic, maybe we should meet up - some time? I work in Union Square, but I live in a weird part of queens that no one wants to come to. You?

I go to College in Midtown and currently crash at a friends place in Queens (Flushing to be precise). I'd totally be up to meeting for a drink when I sorted out my housing situation - do you by chance go to the Jalopnik Film Festival?

Someone after my own heart...

I'm in Maspeth. You live in Queens and probably still don't know where that is. There's a good reason for that, and it's the same reason that my motorcycle hasn't been stolen yet , so I'm cool with it.

... as a "business investment," yeah, I've got premium tickets this year. Going to the M-3c party, or a particular showing? I bought the late-showing and a "premium" ticket.

Yep, I have no idea where Maspeth is. I generally try to avoid "dangerous" areas, so I've never been past Jamaica in Queens or north of Central Park. I know, kinda stupid, but I'm from a country that doesn't allow guns on any level, so naturally I'm a bit frightened.

I bought normal tickets, the value for premium wasn't worth 50$ in my opinion. I'll be going to the late showing (9-12, right?), and I didn't quite figure out yet if the parties are VIP only or how it works.

Oh, wow. I didn't realize you were an Immigrant. My apologies. Maspeth isn't dangerous, it's just foreign to even most Ny'ers. I never even see NYPD out here, and I love that about it, but no wonder you don't go to the Bronx.

E-mail me your contact details to jesse.a.shaffer@gmail.com and we'll get in touch. I'll help you embrace the intuitively acceptable dangers of the city.

Yep, I'm one of the bloody immigrants that the republicans fear so much. But hey, I'm German, so I guess I don't really count, right?

Sure, you'll get a mail right away.

Oh, no. I'm of German heritage if Shaffer (americanized Schafer,) didn't give that away. You're just ze Luftwaffe, here. You might be able to blend in out-side of N.Y, but well... we'll talk about it...

... no wonder we're both writing about insanely pedantic engineering...

because, racism.

Guten Tag Herr Schafer!

Yeah, sometimes people don't instantly recognize me as German, especially if I have the energy in me to cover my accent, so whenever I feel like it I do the extra strong one, you know, all the "ze"s and "zis"s and mixing in a german word for fun.
