I live in Jersey City and have a construction job going in Trenton, NJ. Should I risk driving to work tomorrow? Tuesday?
And no, my boss is no help. He's a Ron Paul fanatic. I'm sure he'll tell me to go for it.

You dont want to make that choice when your engine has stalled out and the water is seeping into the passenger compartment ....
