Maybe its the southern thing I don't know..I know where im from you wave at someone they will wave back...I did that in IL one time and got a go to hell look!!! And im not just saying my town..I have been to MANY parts of Arkansas and still get the same respect. Maybe Im lucky...But I do not handle stupid very well..and anyone who knows me will be the first to tell you I can be a REALLLL b*tc*! But I just call it like I see it. And so thats why I havent been on here much!!!
Yeah it must be a southern thing Jess. From what Ive seen, most people in Michigan suck, and the people dont start getting friendly until you get waaaay up north in Michigan.

And Ill agree with Kendra that I have given up all hope on my generation. Kids my age for the most part are the worst drivers, and the rudest, loudest, and fattest generation Ive seen. Not saying Im perfect, but c'mon, 18 years old and you weigh 350? Not genetic. And I'd be willing to bet daddy's name is on the title of that Jeep Commander Hemi, not you, sweet sixteen, not you...

Exactly. Last week in a town near me, a mother gave her 19 year old son with a suspended licence, and a warrant for his arrest, the keys to the mothers Ford Fusion. The kid took 4 of his friends with him in the car, went around the railroad gates, and an Amtrak train struk and killed all 5 kids in the car. Seriously, is the mother thinking? Not saying the kid wasnt a murderer, but the parents have a lot fault on the way kids act these days. This is one of the reasons that Law Enforcement is my major!

And most people on forums like these are good people online and im sure offline as well. I spent 5 years on a Jeep forum when I daily drove my Jeep, and Ill tell you that Ive never talked to so many cool people in one place before, and I can already tell that people here are the same way.
