Hello from NYC

Hey guys... live from NYC!!!!

Times Square just went nuts!!! i can't stand this place & i've only been here 1 day... the cabbies are nuts... nothing like doing 70 MPH down broadway (& my wife thinks I drive bad)... way too much concrete & people & not enough diesel fumes

Was the Today Show doing a segment on out of place rednecks ???

What are you doing in NYC ?? Don't you know that you could get mugged there ?? Safer during the height of hunting season in the Ozarks than your average weekday afternoon in NYC !!

Hurry back ...

When your in different parts of the country you need to post on the local DTR chapter thread. You could become the first person to belong to the most DTR chapters.

leave it up to Pistol to insult my "heritage"

i'm here on business... strictly business

i here ya about it being safer during deer season in the Ozarks... i listened to about 10 minutes of local news, and they mentioned a 15 yo being stabbed, a girl killed by stray bullets, & 2 construction workers crushed by a wall falling over... then i see that the broke back dude was found dead in his apartment

luckily, i'm heading back late tomorrow... ahhhhh home!!!!

Yea, they got very few of them back in teh big cities. I remember when I drove my red truck into NYC. Every toll booth thought I was commercial... That and I knew no one would steal it cause they all looked at me like I was crazy going through the lincoln tunnel...

I was in nice sunny Miami Florida today!!!! Just got back into springfield after a nice 2hr lay over in Cinncinati... Thank god they have free wifi there!

I hate driving my truck in the city directly, parking is a PITA... but I live just outside the city.

... and by the way, NYC is pretty **** safe in most parts, avoid some of Harlem, some of Brooklyn, pretty much the whole Bronx, and some of Queens... and you're good to go.

Have fun on business there!

Hmm I parked my truck in Queens on a side street in front of my buddy's gf house. Never had any problems with that other than alot of awkward stares...

simple rule for driving : don't hit anything with your truck from the side mirrors forward, the rest of your truck is the next guys problem, as he will have to not hit you with his car/ truck from the side view mirrors forward.
