For GRI...I can understand wanting to retire to NYC. For GRITS (Girls Raised in the South) to speak such a sentiment aloud is nothing short of heresy. I am in a house right now that I wish I could swap for an apartment or loft. I have a car that is nothing but trouble on four tires (also trouble) that presents me with a new "stupid car trick" every day, but there is no alternative to owning a car.<BR/>Every time I visit New York, I feel energized.
