I'm from the People's Republic of Maryland, where the unofficial state motto is "If you can dream it, we can tax it!"

As far as Maryland drivers go..."What speed limit?", "What's a turn signal?".

Living in Jersey now...yea...my mom almost cried when I skipped across 5 or so lanes of NJ Turnpike to make an exit in less than 1/10th of a mile (half that?) at 85....

Formerly from Maryland...and the drivers there are very random...Jersey you can predict the worst imaginable thing at the worst possible moment and be right on 90% of the time.  In MD...my worst imaginings don't compare to some of the drivers...who then have to be contrasted with the perfect drivers...who just get in the way in the end.

Where the SOUTH will rise again (politically correct???) I’m driving in Atlanta Georgia where you keep two things in mind; 1) pass with caution as driver may be chewing tobacco, and 2) if you can’t fit under a semi trailer, you better have enough power to go around it!   Oh… speed limit….. what speed limit?

Vette(s): 1975 Stingray Nomad Wagon, with Daytona front, custom hood scoop, dual side vents; 420HP 350; Doug Nash 5 speed; 1980 rear end W/4:11 gears; Cherry Red metallic paint.

Los Angeles they missed one good point about us: You wont get a speeding ticket.  To much traffic to do 45, let alone over 65.
