[quote=spdrun]G-d am I glad that I live in a city where you can show up for a date by subway train, on a unicycle, or by taxi, and so long as you look, dress, and act human, no one will say boo about it since 50% of people don’t even own cars. I’d expect San Francisco proper to not be that different in this respect.

This being said, I probably get more compliments about my car (old Mercedes in very good shape) than anyone in an Accord will 🙂

“What are you doing tomorrow…?”
“I need to head out to Jersey to do some work on my rental house. I’m free Sunday, though :)”
… or …
“I’m going to Dubrovnik, back in a week.”[/quote]

Are we talking about the same NYC? Where people think if you don’t make close 1/2 million by the time you’re 30 and are single and have to live in the burbs, you’re not cutting it? NYC, where the entire economy pretty much revolves around wall street and Manhattan?

I thought you’re point was that people in your ideal world wouldn’t care what you drive? But then you’re trying to explain how much better one car is versus the other? Uh, ok…Sure, if you say so…

Just curious, if things are so great in jersey, why are you out here?
