LOL!!!
I am 3 generations from Manhattan (a Manhattan Knight) as we call it and both of my parents had cars. I have always had a car. When you grow up in Manhattan you have a car for weekend trips to up state NY, to go skiing or out to the beaches on Long Island. So you don't have to deal with the tourists on weekends.
I have a place in Brooklyn since 1995 and I have an indoor garage where I can park. We do have a lot of Hipsters, but they are not originally from NYC, but they try real hard LOL. I don't drive in the city I have a Bianchi bike that I use for getting around and yes I wear a helmet. Don't want to end up being hit by a Honda, a Toyota a Ram, or a Ford F150 driver from out of town.
The D1 would be my weekend truck to go camping upstate, skiing in the winter, visiting my sisters place in East Hampton so I can take my 9'4" longboard and my australian cattle dog and surf at Ditch in Montauk. I live btw NYC and LA due to my work and I have crossed the country 4 times in 2 years on my LR3 and done some off-roading with it in Cali. I used to repair my RR Classic 88, 91 and the D2 1999 I had. The D1 would be the 5th Rover so I am familiar with Rovers
But I must say the LR3 has been the best and most reliable Land Rover I have ever owned and I have put it through hell and back.
