NovaPC is an interesting place. I took aabout a 12-14hr trip to NY from Virginia with my boss in a big Uhaul last year to stock up on monitors and stuff from Techsmart. It was Thanksgiving weekend and we were told to absolutely be off Long Island by noon or we would be stuck in terrible traffic. We didnt pull out of techsmart till like 1PM, then we stopped at NovaPC. The Uhaul was totally loaded down, packed to the gills. Nove is on a little side street. You pull in on a steep driveway at a right angle to the road. We bought more stuff there and then we attempted to pull out. So I am trying to pull a huge fully loaded truck out of a steeep driveway and somehow turn 90 degrees and squeeze thru the gap left between cars parked on both sides of this side street. I didnt think about the steepness of the driveway and the tail end of the truck dragging! I was turning at this sharp angle AND dragging the rear of the truck so hard that I figured Id get stuck. I was wondering how in the world they were going to get a tow truck or something to get me out. Anyway, I did squeeze out...just in time to hit total gridlock on the road. The first 40 miles we went took 4 hrs. Stop..creep..stop..creep.
