"They say no one's ever beaten the Van Wyck, but gentlemen, I tell you this... I came as close as anyone ever has" ~ Elaine from Seinfeld

Just dropped off two people at JFK and got back to CT in two hours. Elaine was right, no one can beat the Van Wyck.

What's a Van Wyck?

Posted: 10/31/2004 1:29:17 PM EDT

that is one of the funniest seinfled lines ever.
I'd feel bad for those who really don't get it, but then again, they've never spent time on it, have they. So they're the winners and I'm the loser.

I've spent cumulative years on that road and I'm only 25. Took summer courses at Queens for four sumemrs, coming from LI. Also worked for Anthony the Whiner ( do NOT ask) for a year in queens. My folks folks' live by LaGuardia and my pop goes to LGA and back twice a week withthe Yours Truly Taxi Service.

If there's ANYTHING I hate more than carnies and Dr. evil, it's the Van Wyck.

I think it was built directly over the river styx.

I was driving to the airport 2 wednesdays ago to catch a flight to Vegas at noon.

I was already late. But no traffic crosstown in Manhattan, over the 59th Street bridge or on the LIE.

I got to the Van Wyck, it was a dead stop.

So I got off, made a quick u-turn, and got on the Grand Central to the Cross Island to the Belt, going 100 MPH the whole way.

I made the flight with 10 minutes to spare.

Gentleman, I beat the Van Wyck.

Come drive the 405 sometime if you want to think of the Van Wyck fondly.

There is only ONE way to get to JAMAICA...the Van Wyck!

In true AFRCOM tradition, a family member actually takes both!

He takes the 405 to LAX to JFK to the Van Wyck to CT.
