    They own them but they cannot find places to park them so they just drive in circles all day. How else do you explain the crazy traffic? :p

    HEEYYY! I can generally find a parking space within three blocks of my house. Some poeple here even have driveways and garages, although I wish I did. That being said there are times I need to drive circles looking for parking spot.

    Round these parts people get upset if they have to walk more than 1 house away to get to their car. :D

    Something like 1 in 5 New Yorkers is nuts and owns a car.

    We are not necessarly nuts. There are times it is actually cheaper to own a car than to use public transportation in NYC. Using public transportation round trip is $4.50 per person, children start paying full fare once they reach 44 inchs. So for my family of four right now it'd cost $13.50. That'll put alot of fuel in our Prius. Also one of our children has a physical impairment and needs an adaptive stroller, think wheelchair for kids, and most of the trains in NYC is not handicapped-accessible.
