Default Another Regional Difference

Here in the ArkLaTex, the "hot" vehicles are mid 80s GM vehicles,
especially Oldsmobiles. Rusty '85 Cutlasses with bling-bling wheels,
vinyl tops, and tinted windows are EVERYWHERE - and ricemobiles are
few and far between. They still like stickers, though - only instead
of saying "Bilstein" or "Yokohama" these stickers say "85 Cut" in big
vinyl stick-on letters across the driver's side door.

I wish I'd brought my camera...

Are you in a travelling circus? How do you hit so many states?

Good question, especially in light of what he's seeing on the road.

Scott, all of ArkLaTex isn't populated w/ '85 Cutlasses with stickers
on them.

I'd guess he was in one of the better parts ;-)

Don't you have that thing that takes postage stamp photos attached to your
cell phone?

WTF are you talking about? In the last 12 months I've been to exactly
three states (in addition to CA, where I live): AZ, WI, and LA. Go
back two years and you can add only one more state (IL) to the list.

In that case, I'd hate to see the really bad areas!

Yeah, but everybody complains about the picture quality.
