Look Out! I'm coming through!

Holy smokes! Driving from Jersey to Brooklyn is like competing in the Indy 500.

Hop on the NJ Turnpike.
Get in the EZPass lane.
Avoid the truck.
Zoom past the guy going 40 (in a 65 mph zone).
Pray that guy doesn't sideswipe you as he flies around you.
Watch it! Two lanes have collapsed into one.
Squeeze between a truck and the guardrail on your way to the Goethals Bridge.
Avoid gazing about as you cross the Verrazano Bridge.
Zip past the double-parked cars at the Chinese restaurant.
Avoid the shoppers at the Circus Circus food market.

Drive around and around the block, searching for a parking space.
Crap...perfect spot, except for the fire hydrant.
Squeeze in between 2 cars.

Grab the GPS.
Hide the rest of the valuables.
Hop out.
Breathe deeply.
