I have always liked that he lives and is raising his family in NYC (unlike alot of players who usually live in the burbs, Jersey or LI.) To me he is a New Yorker. And his charity work is admirable. When I saw this commercial, I wasn't pleased. I am sure he loves his car, and he certainly isn't thinking in our mode. But I sure hope in the future he could pick something that is more New York. Nothing could be less New York (with less than 20% of Manhattan households owning a car) then driving. Maybe I could convince him to come on a bike ride with me. I still love Tiki. Can't help it.

Tiki might even agree with that. Lord knows he's got the $15.
