NYC 09/12/2006 – End of the journey
Today I took the car around NYC to show it off, and get one last day of driving in before the temporary plates expired.
The Holland Tunnel, heading toward NYC:
Greenwich St, looking south at the new 7 WTC:
An amused mounted officer, who said she thought she had the coolest ride in the city, until she saw my Atom:
The Empire State Building:
Macy’s department store:
An amused onlooker in front of the Empire State Building:
Apparently, the large crowd the Atom drew was creating a “security incident” by blocking the sidewalk, so I was informed I had to leave:
So I pulled the Atom over a few blocks south of Grand Central and started up again:
Times Square:
A sightseeing bus in the mirror:
More interested onlookers:
After this, I drove my car to my BMW dealership (BMW of Bayside) where productivity ground to a halt as everyone emptied out of the shop to see the Atom:
My business partner, Bob Tinkelman:
Bob’s friend Suad takes the Atom around the block:
Here’s the end, 7006 miles in 42 days. About 90 of those miles are from the factory checking the car out before I picked it up:

Example: I drive through on occasion and am open to forming an unstable molecule if there are other Atoms in the area. More NYC pics here. […]
