Holy Rockets Red Flare! Just saw the best fireworks display of my life-in Oil City, Pennsylvania! Like WWIII (without the death). Who knew?

Stopping for gas in Mifflinville, Pennsylvania. Look! Real octane! Don't see that in California or Colorado.

First NYC disappointment: Empire State Building. Even as tourist traps go, it's a painful tourist-trap experiience. I'd recommend avoiding.

I like to compare air travel to boot camp. Let's see: carry heavy loads, be ready to sprint randomly, food and water depravation. Yup, works

It's summer time, and that means everyone, (including me) is traveling the country, taking in the sights and visiting new (or maybe old, familiar) places. I'm personally spending today flying to New York City to enjoy the sites and sounds of that singular metropolis. Even more exciting, I'm picking up a new, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T as my ride around the Big Apple.
As you may have guessed, this is a press vehicle. However, according to the window sticker (it was faxed to me last week) this Challenger is equipped almost exactly as I would equip one for myself -- right down to the Deep Water Blue color. On one hand I'm thrilled to be driving a performance car I'm personally drawn to, but on the other I don't really think of New York as a car town. It's crowded with narrow streets, lots of stop lights and no where to park. Heck, you can't even drive through Time Square anymore.
That got me thinking. If I had access to this Deep Blue Challenger R/T and could go to any city to enjoy it, where would I go?

Like Honda Insight's "leaf-ometer" that tells me how green my driving style is, but I seem to consistently hit a wall after 1 row of leaves.
