Awesome timing! Organizing a car parade on a day when midtown traffic is already worse than usual, and the same day at the tree lighting in Rock Plaza. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Give these guys a Special Olympics medal and send them back to the South, or wherever they came from.

I saw them in Times Square on my commute home (after seeing a bunch of their SUVs on my lunch hour).

I heard some horribly loud engine gunning as I rode down Broadway, and then when I passed all the attending trucks (sitting in the bike lane), I saw the cars.

Reflexively, I yelled to the crowd of ogling pedestrians, “Thermal pollution! Noise pollution! Air pollution! New York has enough! No NASCAR in Staten Island!” They looked up, probably thinking, “aww, look at the cute lunatic.”

I prefer the graffiti covered delivery trucks of the bowery. If I’m going to look at advertisements on a vehicle I’ll take CLAW and TAKI over Ragu and Hellmann’s any day. Thanks for explaining what this was all about! I thought I was seeing things.

Holy Cow, 10 motorists were violating traffic laws for a series of city blocks. They should be arrested un the new NYPD parade laws.
