One thing I noticed

I noticed that the majority of our members in this forum are either from Texas, Oklahoma, or California. We have a bunch of folks from Canada too.

All I want to know is, where the hell are the folks from North Carolina hiding? Hey, I know we're a bunch of hicks, but we do use computers, and most of us drive trucks. We're not totally dumb. Well, at least I'm not anyway. Maybe it's if you drive a truck you don't have enough sense to use a computer, or the other way around. I don't know. One thing I do know, either way, they are loosing out.

Don't get me wrong, I know we have a few in the forums from NC, but I'm starting to get lonely. Most of the other members we have are all in the eastern part of the state.

Oh, while I'm thinking about it. I saw a beautiful wild orange/tangerine stepside come by my house a few days ago. This thing sounded mean. It had a mean cam. They just redid the tar and gravel road (told you I was from hicksville), and he was driving real slow to keep the loose gravel from chipping his real nice pearl orange type paint job. First time I've even seen it. Wish I knew where it was from. I'd love to check it out more closely.

Go Canada!

I saw a nice tonight, but I was going 110 km/h (it is the limit, I don't speed on public roads a simple speeding ticket is close to 300 dollars now...) so I didn't want to whip out the digital and snap a couple shots while moving :P

Need more Chevy guys in Phoenix too.
Tom and a few other live on the other side of town.
It would be cool if some other members who share similar interested lived within a short driving distance.

I'm from Ft. Lauderdale, does that count? My parents live in Jupiter now. As for Texas, my heart and ancestry all reside there, I used to live with on 33 acres in between Canton and Terrell when I was younger. I'm hoping to get stationed somewhere in eastern TX sometime soon. Maybe NAS Ft. Worth, who knows?
