Yay, go Mekatra! Riding around town!

I took it to go to the next big town over to go grocery shopping last night and kept parking WAAAAY out in the parking lots because I was worried someone might hit my new car lol

hehe the woes of a brand new thing xD

I drove so cautious the first few weeks of having my car.
Having to drive it in seattle ruined that mentality though, because it becomes a do or die zone sometimes .-.

You should try driving in Cali :| Apparently, we're scary drivers...?

Why yes you are.
I have only been down there once truthfully, and on a school band field trip. The freeways were scary. Lots of horns blaring too.and then came the congestion.

But it was really cool seeing actual sand on a beach XD

Yeah, and then most of us forget how to drive in the rain.

My friend who visited from Georgia was shocked when we drove through storms. Apparently people pull over and wait for storms to pass and it's ok with jobs usually and whatnot.
I was more shocked.

that sounds like PA drivers. in the rain, freezing rain, or snow. it's always fun when that happens here. XD

SparX - pull over and wait for a storm to end? wow, that's.... not done here either. unless, of course, it IS a torrential downpour, and you don't have to be somewhere at a certain time. i have pulled over maybe...once?

we don't stop when it rains here, only when it floods xD

I haven't driven/sat in a car in PA enough yet, so I have no opinion on this. (I commute by bus or by foot in Pittsburgh.)

yeah, i would imagine it's different when you're not in a car.... i've always had a car to get around here.

where i am in the suburbs, there really aren't sidewalks.... and sporadic public transportation. i would imagine it's not all that fun.

East coast living seems like a different world sometimes XD

more like east coast in the suburbs. i'm pretty sure there are busses all the time in Philly....

Not the bus taking part, just the general overall behavior and attitude of people there vs here or vice versa

Specific examples are mostly from Georgia and Florida, because that is wehre the largest concentrations are.

Heh true. And New Jersey. And New York. They're like totally different countries XD
