I'm here in Newark right now waiting for my plane out. What is a GSP? Driving here has been a very.. interesting experience. That NJ Turnpike is a trip.

We have the Garden State Parkway (aka "the Piggy Bank" by CB'ers because you used to have to stop and put money in. Now we have Sleazy Pass.) Down south we also have the Atlantic City Expressway. Gotta watch for deer, however.

Yeah it can be nice, watch for critters, deer, and TROOPERS

As for critters, a fellow forum member was on the GSP with his brand new '06 Z06, and a groundhog or chimpmunk came out to say Hi, and when the car made contact with him, it broke off a nice piece out of the driver's side front fascia, ouch!!!

I drive the GSP on my way to work. The road is amazingly smooth however, it also amazingly crowded.

Yeah, once you get south of Newark and over the big bridge and the traffic starts to thin out it is a pretty nice ride.


(Note: except during rush hour and on weekends as NY city empties to the NJ shore at which time it is know as the Garden State Parkinglot.)

One of the beat things about the Parkway is that most times, the car gets covered in bugs from all the trees.
