    I drove once in NYC. Never again. I’d gladly walk 3x that distance to avoid having to use a car. Or, ya know, use (gasp) public transportation.

      I’ve driven a few times in Manhattan, but most of those times were on a Sunday - it was a different world. Ghost town is not an exaggeration. The one time it was a weekday, I was hauling a motorcycle trailer, and when I saw 2 parking spots in a row on 5th Ave, I couldn’t resist stopping for an hour to walk around. Someone actually stopped to watch me parallel park. Must’ve been a tourist, New Yorkers don’t stop for anything.

      I drove in Kuala Lumpur once, traffic was crazy, super crowded, improvised lanes and bumper to bumper traffic with motorbikes going all over the place. LMAO no are you kidding? I didn’t drive, I used their awesome metro system I got a week card for cheap so I could go all around the city without even thinking about it.
