Best two out of three for the sake of TV suspense ! <| sep |> lol fucking burning mn <| sep |> Socks is always the answer <| sep |> You are having way too much fun hitting a chain , I should join in . HA <| sep |> Don ' t go through Manhattan or the BQE . Especially if you ' re not used to driving in the city but even if you are , cross at the Tappan Zee and take the Bronx River Parkway to the Cross Bronx to the Whitestone to the Van Wyck . Getting from the BRP to the CBE requires you to cross three lanes very quickly with a short onramp , but it ' s better than any other route . Of course , traffic can mess this all up and depending on the traffic on the CBE you could in principle be better off taking the Triboro . I ' ve found Google Maps to be pretty good at routing me around any major jams . 6 . 5 hours sounds about right though , it usually takes less but better early than late . A major reason for taking the BRP instead of 87 is that there are no trucks allowed , which makes the drive much easier
