Fortunately I don't have to step a rim into that trap! And yes, as I said metioned before, I drove out to the DIA Beacon Museum in Beacon, NY and the roads out there were wonderful!!
Looking forward to the snowboard season as well

I live in Boston and I disagree with Boston, NYC being bad city to drive a mini.

I didn't drive a mini to NYC but drove a scion xA and really enjoy having a smaller car because the roads in NYC are more narrow. I really had fun driving on the FDR or something drive near the border of NYC.

In Boston, storrow drive is nice. As I have lived in boston all my life, I start to know where all the potholes are. They are in the same location every year after the snow on storrow drive. If you drive in the streets, try to stay in the middle lane, stay away from the curb.
