If you leave your car at your parents for 2 years, it'll just be sitting there depreciating. I don't see the sense in that. And what if for some reason it gets damaged at your house? You'll have to get it repaired and it'll again just sit there.

hey another accountant with a TL. congrats with the job. Parking in the city sucks. I drive to work in the city from brooklyn, but I work late nights and downtown. So I can park in the streets, but then again I usually drive my other car so I dont get and dings. parking in a lot will range 300-400 a month, might want to try it for a month or two to see if you like it. The idea of selling the car might be hard, depends on your life style if you will be in the city all the time I would sell it. The money you will get for it and the money saved from not parking in a lot and insurance will be a nice chunk of change like someone mentioned before. Also there is too many cabs around you there and also MTA.
Also parking lots towards the water tend to be cheaper.
Good luck.

Which one of the big 4? deloite? Are you doing your CPA thing or are you in other departments. Because the big 4 firms still do transactional services and valuations, somewhat similar to ibanking, but a far cry from goldman sachs

My car is like my escape from all the madness. Its my freedom and I dont think I could part with it. After school and work I put on my favorite music sit down in my comfortable leather seats and slowly drive home thru traffic lol
