guess you just have to live in there to know. These poor ADers (Jake and gangis) were terrified of my NYC driving

You have to know exactly where you are going in NYC lest you end up in a bad neighborhood and surrounded by thugs that will kill and rob you for your gold fillings....

10x a day? that's it? that's like 1-2 blocks of driving

Lol, generally when he was driving around town...not sure. He said 10 times in a day, not 10 times daily or he meant 10 times during his vacation? I don't know, maybe I was missing out something.

I'm exaggerating of course but it's what it feels like for newbie NYC driver. To me - it feels like 1-2x close call

yeah....that's far more than driving in Seattle area, though. I get average of 1 close calls every few days, depending how you describe close calls. ha
