Is there a reason that people in Oregon drive...

Actually you can pump your own fuel in certain situations. Like Pacific Pride, ect. or if the town is less than a certain size. It's complicated and that's the way "they" like it. PS- there are 2 Oregons. 1 is the Westside and the other East of 97.

 

Yeah but the population of everything east of the 97 is about 50 people. I have a friend who lives in Plush in Lake County. There are like 20 people in the entire town.

 

Exactly. Any town of a few thousand have been infested. My home value increases $3k/mo. in the Bendiago area.

 

That sounds exactly like where i come from in Qld they drive really slow block the lanes so faster drivers can't get past and like pulling out in from of you and not speeding up so your hard on the brakes to avoid rear ending them. Sounds likes the folks from OR would fit right in up here in Northern Queensland.

 

Austin, TX sees a lot of immigrants from that region also. It's amazing how fast this whole area is growing. From San Antonio to Dallas is all growing like wildfire and I35 is under perpetual construction.

I lived in central Austin for about 4 years renting a 1 bedroom apartment. My rent almost doubled in that time and I got priced out. Now I live in the Liberty Hill area and it's a lot better. No panhandling, traffic, noise, etc. Just the sound of cows going MOOOO, which is actually pretty relaxing. Never fell asleep to cows before. Prior to this I was missing out. All I can say.

 

Oregon does not hold the rights to ignorant. Come spend some time in Hampton Roads Virginia. The other day I saw what looked like a very young girl driving with her feet. Don't know how she was using the throttle and don't think I want to know.

 

I guess there are exceptions to the stereotypes that go along with cars. I'm sure somewhere out there somebody used a turn signal once in a BMW and one time a Tesla driver didn't volunteer to tell everyone at Starbucks about how superior Elon musk is to everyone else and he is part of the movement that is gonna make the world a better place. I drive a suburban and I'm not a housewife with one kid that backs into everything at the grocery store lol.
