Next he’ll put monitors on his residents’ chests to tax every breath they take. Jerk.

Our beloved liberal governor has now announced that he plans to get gay marriage legalized in New York. I hope folks are happy with their choice!

Who's a big enough idiot to drive on that island if they don't absolutely have to/get paid to, anyway? I wouldn't.

Somebody is pulling your leg.

Minimum ticket $110. Tow fee $110. Processing fee $70. Daily storage fee $10/day for day 1-2, $15/day after. Plus cab fare to get to the pound (after you figure out which one) say $30.

Your friend would pay at least $420 to free his car after for a twelve day trip....except that it wouldn't be there because after ten days unclaimed cars go to the city for auction.

Makes a good bar room tale though.

That wasn’t a knock on the city, other than that Manhattan strikes me for the most part as a particularly inhospitable place to travel by car.
