Exclamation Question for NYC?

Either f-body owners live in the outskirts of New York or something. But with the traffic there, how the hell are you getting to work?

potholes few feet deep, lanes are NARROW as hell, drivers that cannot drive if their life depended on it (hardly any turning signals, get cut off every 2 mins, etc)..

I got a lot of friends that live in the city and I NEVER take my Camaro when I go to visit...always something else. I took my last Camaro (V6) and parked it in a garage overnight and got a HUGE scratch...never again.
