When a car's ahead of you, as long as you can see it, you get a tow, just like the draft in NASCAR. Even if it's a long ways down the track, it punches a hole in the air that has to help. When you're running alone, you can feel the difference, and it shows on the clock, too.
A car is useless in New York, essential everywhere else. The same with good manners.

I like to wear shoes that are cool but also practical. The same goes for bags. Your bag is a big deal in New York.

That's why I like big, chunky bags with lots of compartments.
