Default anyone in brooklyn?

Hey guys just got my C6 and was wondering if i should drive to brooklyn to pick up a girl i met last weekend?
She lives in brooklyn and I live in North Jersey.
The roads over here are pretty good.
How are the roads in brooklyn?
I guess i could just use my other/ older car.

Sorry if this is a cheesy question.

I make the same trip all the time with no problems.

The roads aren't really a problem. That's more their reputation than anything. The only issue is where - and how long - you leave the car unattended. You can have that problem anywhere.

Roads in Bkln are Great! Car thieves report little or no damage to cars on way to chop shops just off Northern Blvd and BQE.

There's alot of nice girls in North Jersey. I'm originally from Brooklyn and she'd have to be extraordinary to drive that far. I took my Brooklyn girl with me to live out here.
