I got another car when I moved to Pittsburgh, although I didn't really need it. If I drove the car three times a month that's a lot. It was useful, however, for getting home at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I drove her home, and was paranoid about driving in Manhattan. It's seriously intimidating, especially if you don't know your way around the city.
Cabs are like Sharkticons there.
However, I didn't get into any accidents or get any tickets. When I was home for Christmas, though, we had a huge snowstorm. A small street connects Route 1 and Route 1A in Attleboro, and I was trying to pull out of that street to get on the main road. The city had plowed and left a gigantic snowbank on the corner, taller than me and impossible to see around. I slowly inched out until I could see, and when I thought it was clear I pulled out.
