# Drivers of New York: Rocky

![](<https://www.thedrive.com/wp-content/uploads/images-by-url-td/content/archive-images/2015_07_18_tk_drivers_of_ny_bmw_harlem_0040_010_tn.jpg>)

No matter the shape, no matter the make, no matter the era, *The Drive* and [Classic Car Club](<https://classiccarclubmanhattan.com/>) have a love affair with the automobile. Somewhere under those steel roofs and carbon engine covers, there’s a personality. It might be that of a champion, or perhaps, more like your recovering alcoholic Uncle Eddie. But it’s undeniably there.

And thus, the birth of this photographic column. These are snippets, little insights into the life of a car and, more importantly, those of the people who own them. There will be no rolling prose, no feature-length interview. Just an automobile and its owner, as seen through the lens of Finnish phenom [Tuukka Koski](<https://www.tuukkakoski.com/>).

**Rocky** aka @rockyb252

**BMW E46 325i**

153rd Street, Harlem

“In two weeks, we’re driving to Ocean City, so I wanted to have some work done on it. Today I’m getting tint work. In about an hour, it’s getting a Bulldog chip. I like to keep on improving it with things like M3 bumpers... I painted the wheels myself. They came out pretty good.”
