It’s actually a bacon themed restaurant opening there I think?

Where in fuck did he dream up a proper hoagie that costs $5 anywhere in the city? It costs over $5 to make one at home (unless one is in coprophilia).
Monde has some for around $7-8, and I think they are the cheapest for quality/quantity I've seen in awhile (Old Nelson's is legit as well, but they punch above $9 these days, IIRC).

Oh, I agree. Report it when you see it, imo. You can get seriously sick from unclean beer lines.

There's a freeing feeling about having a car old enough that you're not that concerned about parking or driving in the city.
This could also be Stockholm Syndrome.

If you’re down south, Red Hook is an excellent little coffee shop with fantastic food. Can get a bit busy though. Cozy.

It's closed. Looks like a pizza shop or Italian place is opening in that spot. Hope they kept the fire place.

And the reason it's spreading like this is because veterinarians play it down. Rarely fatal does not mean not fatal. And I believe rarely is an understatement.

Most of the street-parking paint damage I have is on my bumpers - which is fine, they're called bumpers for a reason. The second most noticeable issue is the haze that develops on headlights over the years. At first, I bought the kind of headlight renewal kit that works with my cordless drill - polishing compound and sealant, etc. It was a lot of work, and only lasted about a year. If your headlights get hazy - just buy new ones on eBay.
On that note, the main thing I've done since moving to Philadelphia, with respect to my shiny vehicle, is get a sun shade for my windshield. There's only so much you can do about the exterior - might as well do what you can to protect the interior from the sun.
Had to get a couple of windows replaced recently because of vandals. I'd call them thieves, but there was nothing for them to take. The most recent one only shattered the window in place - Safelite used a rope saw to remove it, and scratched up my paint. They paid to get the paint fixed.
I think the reality is, living in an urban environment reminds you that a car is a utility, not a trophy or a work of art. Certainly not an investment, either. You know what (typically) helps with accepting that your new car will get dings, will have strangers leaning on it, will get broken into? Buy a slightly used car, and put the thousands of dollars you saved into an auto maintenance account.

2005 Camry? Why do you need a new car? Is it all rusted and the suspension is shot and therefore won’t pass inspection?

I bought a used Subaru that already had a few scratches for this exact reason. Doesn’t hurt that much when a new scratch inevitably appears now

"Hoagie" as in "hoagie mouth".
