Tim: Rosie learned to drive in Manhattan. We used to rent a car from

midtown Avis for the day–$70, not much more than a driving lesson (though,

of course, strictly against the terms of the rental agreement, and quite

possibly illegal). The test area was down on the lower east side, under one

of the bridges. The examiners (yes, we had a couple of swing-and-a-miss

driving tests) were mean as hell. When Rosie finally got her license, I told her:

“Honey, you have learned to drive in Manhattan, and there is now nothing you

need fear this side of the grave.”
