Philadelphia Chain Reaction.......

[OOMPH!]

Well, I had an interview in Center City and if you don't already know, it's absolutely NO PARKING whatsoever, and it takes approx. 10min to move a block in traffic..........let the chain begin.........

1. Philadelphia Sucks, Bumper 2 bumper traffic, NO PARKING leads to...........
2. I have to Park in a Parking Garage, Pay $18, and let some jackass DRIVE MY CAR
3. After the interview, I go to the garage and wait for the guy to bring my car back......NOTE: my car has GCs and garage has steep hills
4. Waiting, waiting, I hear scrapping, and my car pulls up........(ASSHOLE must have bottomed out coming down the ramps)
5. A week has passed and I have noticed a nice little accumalation of tiny oil spots in my driveway
6. I hate the CITY

I am in Down town Phila twice a week, it's an innocent joke compared to NYC, where there is REALLY NO PARKING/STANDING ANYTIME, and if you dare to brake the rules, cops will ticket you even if you are inside your car, parked under the NO PARKING sign (in Phila all they do just tell you to leave)... and talking about traffic made me laugh, the worst I've seen is the Broad street
try getting into one of the NYCs tunnels during the rush hour, 45min wait just to get into the tunnel

I'm glad I live in the NW cause I never run a full tank. For high performance of course but mostly cause I'm too cheap.

I drove around for 2 years on GC's in Philly, parking is not that bad, Center City is pretty bad during the day, but its nothing compaird to NYC.
