Permanent ban

On my way home from work Friday I spied this sitting right across the street from the Holland Tunnel:

The pic right above kinda irritated me. For one thing the car was fudging filthy. I said to myself, "damn this thing really is a city car." Then I saw this:

:wtf: Curb Rash!!! The pic does not show the true carnage, the wheel was totally ****ed

I'm sorry I don't have more, I was told by the cops that I was not allowed to take pics of the tunnel or the surrounding area. I told them that I was only taking pics of the Spider, to which they agreed to let me take some.

When I went across the street to get multiple angels of her, they told me I had to go because I was trespassing on Port Authority property

Instead of arguing that the plans and specs for all bridges and tunnels are freely available online, I opted to NOT get beat about the head and I went home. Hope you like them, I had to take these in a hurry so they aren't the best, sorry.

P.S. I know # 2 is a bit oversized, apologies.

1 & 5 are my faves. I also have the same issue with cops here in some areas. its just weird that they have time to harass you when there are better things for them to do.

My photography-related addiction makes a crack habit look like a fiscally responsible pasttime.
