You can 'name' me, no problem. You're right, i've never been to NYC and I don't care if I ever go. When I lived in Fort Lauderdale for 6 years, I got my cure for that desire.
Missing out on what? WTF do you do up there that one just 'can't miss' in NYC?
Go to Giants games in New Jersey? When you're home from school, do you even leave Long Island to explore all these wonderful things? Get out and about, my good man! There is a big world out there.
And 'honking' is idiotic and obnoxious, unless it's an effort to avoid an accident before it happens, not using it as some sort of perceived punishment. Honking at somebody because they're going too slow, or they cut you off, is ignorant.
Muttering under your breath while riding someones ass at 80MPH because they won't 'move over' is a signature move of a driver from NY. No offense to you personally.
we shall agree to disagree then, in general.....basically, you are making generalizations about people from here based on living in fort lauderdale, 1200 miles away, down there you get all the clowns from here who wanted to get an easier life in warmer weather who failed here often times and are bitter, I may be among those in a few years so I'm not dipsaraging it but it's true, you're a bit of a creature of habit which is well and good, but you'd like it if you came in the summertime, you admitted liked the jersey shore so...
I admit, I am not mr.culture, no disagreement, even if you are an east coast hater midwest guy, to go walk around times square, empire st building, wall st, see a nice play, eat at some amazing restaurants, etc, everyone should do once even AL said that...Yes, when I'm home in summer and from school I go to the city, usually only to get sloshed (but bars open till 4am minnimum, another plus!), and you can get an omelette at 3-4am if you desire anywhere.....I guess I just like the general culture of the east coast bette it fits my persoality more...I know these are minor things but I guess one gets used to surroundings, I enjoyed florida I can't deny, but have said I like FTL far more than your coast and could see myself living there, somehow you like the west coast better and I'd strongly disagree....
Honking is "obnoxious" ok, so is some moron in their cadillac as sponge said, hitting their brakes every 3 seconds with nobody in front of them, or having their signal on and not moving over, or drifting into your lane repeatedly, etc, I dont think this kind of crap should be endorsed with a smile and a wave by guys like you...I don't advocate a nascar speedway like I-95 there, but smiling and not caring when people drive like sleeping idiots isnt the answer either
