I'm gonna have to go ahead and call bullshit on you, there, luis. First of all, how much time have you spent outside of NYC? I've lived in Pennsylvania, Indiana, South Carolina, Florida, Japan and Illinois. I've traveled to a lot more places than that. I've eaten at the Carnegie and the Star Delis in NYC multiple times. Contrary to your opinion (and that of most New Yorker's), Galileo proved years ago that the universe does not rotate around New York City. Sure, the Catholic church had to piss in his Wheaties over it, but still. The point was valid.
If you really think that the rest of the country's "cool shit" hardly compares, you're pretty naive. Get out an explore a little bit. They even have this thing out in the west called the Grand Canyon. Oh, and national parks. They also have racetracks. How many of those do they have in NYC?
I agree with the original poster - the rest of the world could give two craps (literally! :) ) about NYC food trucks. Unless you're going to tell us about the trucks. As it stands, we read a review about a dried out burger and a decent hot dog. I could have gotten that up the street in my town and we only have about 8 restaurants. None of them rated by Michelin. (But we do have a national award winning market that produces its own brats, smoked meats, etc.)
In fact, I'd like to invite Jalopnik to come write about the experience of driving out into the rural suburbs of western Chicagoland on a gloriously sunny fall weekend to visit Ream's Elburn Market and stand in line for some of their delicious products. You'll find all manner of sports cars - even exotics - parked in downtown Elburn just because of the store. Saw a Ferrari earlier this month.
Keep the jalop in jalopnik. I could care less about NYC.

Despite Ray's defense of the indefensible, I still can't vote on NPOCP.
But this Marauder lifts my skirts.

I believe in that context the correct form of the word would be 'mavericky' ;)
Nice work, $kaycog!
That is a small miracle, for certain.
When I think of Texas I hardly consider it the MidWest. As a MidWest resident, I draw the line somewhere north of Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky, west of Pennsylvania and east of the Rockies.
I'd paint that thing some vibrant, bright, righteous colors and then run it at monster truck shows as "The Angry Hippy".
Oh, you crazy New Yorkers... so much cooler and more interestinger than the rest of us...
I smell some home cookin'.
Sad but true.
That 'flood damage' might have actually done some improvement... We'll never know unless someone finds some 'before' photos.
Obviously she couldn't hear the people screaming to 'STOP!' over the sound of her own awesomeness.
My first ever car was an El Camino. I hope they bring it back.
And one more.
Another...
And then, for reals, here are some GT's and GT40's. :)
Congratulations, dear Skaycog!!! Here's a Ford GT Tzenu for you!!!
If he would have got it running and re-installed the seats, I would gladly have paid $4500. Hence the owner must be hitting the pipe or the work must be really hard. Crack pipe.
And I was speaking from the viewpoint of 'the violator'. Cause, you know, if I wanted to molest someone I would always use the backs of my hands. Wouldn't you?
