Quit Your Car: It's Zero Percent About Transportation.

When is a car not a car? When it's a source of solace and comfort, a curbside living room and a personal aesthetic statement. This episode is brought to you "live" from the interior of a 1987 Cadillac DeVille as we hear from Alex Brook Lynn, the producer of FAQ NYC, about why she escapes to her car for a little private time amidst the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple. What would it take for Alex to quit her car?
