Default Holiday Wheeling --- in NYC

Went to NYC with my wife to go see The Addams Family. Got teased by a bunch of my buddies, so here are some shots of my wheeling adventurs in NYC. Cut off a few cabbies, and got cut off by a few cabbies. Had a few peds walking a little faster with my front end punching through. Climbed one curb when I took a right turn a little too tight. No toes where harmed.

The Holland Tunnel:
Who's bright idea was it to take 10 lanes of traffic and narrow them to 2 lanes in less than 50 yards???

A few street shots.


Found the theater.

Times Square


Central Park

Heading out the Lincoln Tunnel


Walking around I think I knocked at least three people down.

Man driving in to NYC at Christmas is worse than a RED trail at RC....
Hope you got some good wife points for that run.
Anyone try to flag down your big yellow taxi?

Funny this is, once I exit the tunnel into the city...I suddenly go into a "NYC mode" of driving. My foot becomes a bit heavier on the gas, the brakes, etc. My senses sharpen by 500% and my consideration for other drivers goes out the window. It's weird.
