Hubby is a retired professional truck driver who, over the years made many trips down I 95 through the Bronx, across the GW bridge, etc. So many times travelling southbound he saw cars that had broken down and were abandoned. When he returned northbound, a few hours later, the vehicles were stripped of tires and anything else that could be removed and many had been burned out. In some areas along this route there is almost no place to pull over if you DO break down. It's a good thing that a lot of folks like the I 95 route. That helps to keep I 84 to I 81 pretty stress free.
