New York Taxi Cab Trip

[kantuckyII]

I just got back from New York after a 13 hour train ride. Anyway, Tuesday night, we took a 26 mile, white knuckle limo/taxi drive from New York to Linden, New Jersey. I can't think of too many times when I've been much more shook up. This cat drove 82 mph...on people's bumpers...passing on exit lanes - while talking on the phone..writing on a pad and I believe using profanity in Arabic. Anyone else got to do this? it's a trip!



oh...and..that only cost us 90 dollars - what a bargain!

Me and 3 buddies went to NYC a couple of years ago. We went there to see the Yankees play. We got kicked out of at least 2 cabs. I would like to tell the stories but i dont want to get kicked off of here. Oh and we about got kicked out of the subway also. LOL!!

I had a very similiar experience last year in the Big Apple, I got a picture of my cab driver and was wondering if this fella is the same driver that hauled you around..............

I think that was the dude that kicked us out of cab number 2!

You know that taxi driver couldn't be an American, too scary looking!

LOVED being on the Empire State Building..however, after about 10 minutes, looking down 1,050'...I got to thinking about those standing on the edge of the World Trade Center windows and I got mad all over again. How TERRIFYING that had to have been! That is WAY UP IN THE AIR!

You should ride with Bigdowgg once, and im sure you would rather be in the taxi.

Biggdowgg driving a NY taxi? now, that's a scary thought. When you got in, and heard Barry Manilow blaring, you know you're in trouble. Anyway, it was cool hailing taxi's in NY. I've watched it in movies all my life and there I was...doing the same. THEM GUYS FLY! it's nuts.

Like I said on one of my photos of the city, "There's 3,794,101 sq mi in the United States. I wonder if anyone has told these people that Manhattan only is 23 of them?"
