Earlier today I mentioned I was driving into the city today from Long Island. Some interesting things...

Took the Prius because MPG and it had a full tank
Got stuck in traffic shortly after exit 33 on the Long Island Expressway..
While waiting in traffic, saw some young girl (20s or so) texting and driving in a Range Rover, she rear-ended a Honda Odyssey and the guy walked out of his car pissed off... and the girl acted as if nothing happened.

Decided "Fuck this traffic..." so I took Cross Island South to Grand Central to LIE again... which bypassed whatever traffic jam I was in (was worth it).
Got on the BQE, saw a red Volvo P1800. Stunning.
When I got to Manhattan saw a few Aston Martins, Jaguars, Porsches, etc. and... a 2014 S63 AMG.
I went to Chelsea to visit a friend and went downtown as well. Both times I managed to find free street parking.
On the way home, I dropped off my friend at Grand Central. Took me 40 minutes to get home (usually 1 hour without much traffic). :D

So, I went to Manhattan and back on 2 gallons of gas.

I've only driven to the city one time. It was for the NY Auto show. Much fun was had.

I got lucky with parking, my dad gave me an access card for a parking garage across the street from MSG for his job.

It is a forbidden technology not yet known to the public, I was scared I'd be shot on sight for using it. Luckily I got away.
