No, but not far from LI in Queens. I'm back on the road now thanks. My problems started after I did a few 0-60 timed runs. See this thread for more info:

Engine won't crank

I suppose the extra stress from the timed runs loosened an already loose ground strap bolt on the bell housing to cause a no start and the weird electrical problems I was experiencing.
