You can drive 13 hours from NYC and still be in NYC. A sane mind cannot comprehend this.

Especially if you take the tunnel

The truelly scary part is you only be a mile away if your lucky :)

First time visiting, i arrived in Sāo Paulo in a Bus, when i saw the sign "Welcome to Sāo Paulo i stood up and started to get my things... When we got to the São Paulo Bus Station, 5 hours later, i understood why the other passengers were very amused by my behavior.

A fitting punishment for choosing to drive in NYC

I know so many people who choose to drive. It blows my mind. Like, yeah, the subways can be frustrating, but nowhere near as frustrating as driving in the city.

Bikes are the best way to get around the city.

What kind of crazy person drives in NYC?

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Some of us have no choice. I drive for work sometimes and jesus it’s so frustrating. Can turn a 12hr work day into a 16hr one.
