Yeah, I had a mustache like that when I was 23, to try to look older. Ah, the good old days.
I shaved it off after a few weeks and nobody noticed. Then again I wasn't playing outfield for the Mets.
I never drive. Coming from NJ, I take NJ Transit to Penn Station, take the E to 74th/Roosevelt to catch the 7, and stand with the sweaty masses for a few stops. It's easier than driving for me.
