Default question, NYC drivers

How long do you think it will take exactly to get from the manhattan side of the williamsburg bridge to the BQE to the LIE - college point blvd exit?

No traffic at late night = 8 minutes
rush hour traffic = over 30 minutes

You're nuts to have passengers while driving like that.
Congrats on your "success"

Your time was beat by a 1987 Geo Prism with a brutal 60 hp?. 5 min 10 seconds. Next time top out the car or go home

i should try that, full code...maybe i can beat 6mins.

JT, you need a http://www.stickypod.com/ so you can do it without endangering passangers, and to lighten up the GS so you can do it in 5:59 mins. Not to mention, to have a solid camera mount.
