Yeah man I feel you! I have worked all around the city and you get use to it especially after some years. For someone new to driving stick shift they gonna need some time to adjust. City traffic on a friday is probably the worse day of the week. Every other day is a breeze. I gotta deal with Manhattan traffic then the Bronx lol. You will be fine!
Yeah broooooooooo tell me about it why is Friday so damn bad?? Shit I gotta go from New Rochelle all the way to harlem and back to jersey to pick my girl up on Friday's and I want to die everytime smh the bridge turns into a shitstorm

Deblasio and Coumo will shorten your lifespan far sooner than any auto or clutch. Run like hell! I remember Curtis Sleewa .. the dope from Park Slope!

yeah shit has just been a mess this year. I’m just happy about the street cleaning rules so it’s easier for me to park. But once they don’t put it in effect I’m taking the train lol

Unless you're doing something wrong, It'll easily last 100K - Probably more :)

From my experience it depends on how you drive and how much you slip the clutch. With high traffic volume you are for sure going to wear the clutch more than if you didn't have to sit through traffic.
If you can afford it maybe find an old corolla, camry,civic, accord and daily that.
