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:

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:

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:

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:
