    There are absolutely NO reasons to ever go to the north east or the communist state of california.

    My preferred areas are of course The Great State of Texas and every now and then Louisiana and Oklahoma.

    The west is the best. Yeah you gotta throw chains every once in a while, but that's the price you pay to build character.

    The northeast is too snotty, and the southeast is a dump.

    But u also have to remember that everything from Baltimore up and also down to Georgia is "old country" by US standards. Everything including most of the roads (layout) were built in the 1800's. So yeah, things that old are no longer shinny and pretty like all the new places to the west. But I honestly don't care for anything east of OH unless the rate is REALLY good and u can't get me into FL for less than $3.50 a mile, it is a dead zone down there.

    I like the United States. Now i drive California, Oregon, and Washington. Love the West Coast the best. Best looking country out here in my opinion. I'am smart enough to read rules and regulations, then follow them, so i can run anywhere if needed.
