New (ish) driver gets his first taste of the Big Apple.

That's why they say now-a-days if you don't have 35k+ in the box - sit your ### on one side or the other.

 

I didn't know that about the Harlem river and thank you ...i started my forays into the city when stripped cars and mattresses were still commen on the cbe.

 

if he had taken the TZ it would have only been $35....

 

The view of the ESB under these arches when you are coming off 87 south up around the corkscrew is pretty impressive.

 

That's about as easy as that town gets. Do a little BQE, Van wyck or maybe some nice Atlantic Ave or Linden Blvd and you'll start to see how spooky that place is.

 

That's just it. The front reached the west end, small time storm that was growing and I was already on it from the east end, no shutdown procedures apparent at that time.

I was monitoring the big Bridge Tunnel System in Norfolk to eastern shore during the recent Matthew storm as it passed east and generated 55 plus winds and large rolling main, they had banned all but loaded semis carrying 40K with about one or two steps left according to wind speed prior to closing it entirely.

I hope none got onto that thing in the hurricane.... be the stuff of nightmares.
