Last time I was in NYC, I was down by Paragon Sports (don't remember what street it was on, but people in NYC probably know where it is) and I saw a guy lose the passenger side door of his 80's Caddilac coupe (don't know which model). It was a one way street with cars parked on both sides and he was stopping to let his girlfriend/wife out so he could find a spot to park. Anyway, as he came to a stop as far to the left as he could, cars started pulling around him on the right and his girl-friend-person didn't even look, she just threw open the door and BAM. A brand new BMW X5 came speeding by and took the door right off and sent it skidding into some parked cars. I was sitting in a car parked on the side of the street maybe three car lengths back just laughing my ass off.
Even funnier than the door getting knocked off was the cop that was walking down the sidewalk when it happened. He didn't even stop check it out. He just shook his head and kept walking.
NYC drivers are crazy.
