2 years in any relationship is a fair while... when the spark aint there... you ask yourself... do you have the will to stay it out... or take off to another country and get with her elder sister...
Cars i mean people... geez...
Moving to NYC early next yr... so I will have to depart with my pride and joy.
Brings a tear to my eye to see her go...

Anyone in Perth my car is about to go on the market...

2001 Astra G MK4 TS, Z18xe motor, Stinger series body kit and upholstery, mp3 cd, 128K (30k between Albany & Perth- the joys of working in Albany last yr)... had timing kits done at 69k & 120k, near new tyres (215x 50x15) on ROH spider 32 spoke.

Message me for pics...
goes in next weekend.. @ $9k

They did a "zero tolerance" crack down in NYC in the 90s. I was there in 97 and it felt far safer than walking around dan francisco

NYC isn't "that" unsafe...You just need to be sensible..I've been there lots and only ever ran into trouble once which was my own fault...Totaled and wandering around, what do you expect..You get the same in Sydney..

As for owning a car in NYC, good luck, your car space will cost more than the apartment you live in, which isn't cheap (though I am used to HKG prices now).

Friends that live in NYC have never owned a car in 10 - 15 years of living there...Cab's, walking and the subway are all quicker...Unless you're venturing out to New Jersey, Vermont or upstate NY save the money...There's plenty of other things to spend it on while your there... ;)

Enjoy though...I love NYC...
