I thought MA sucked too. Until I lived other places. I'd give my right testicle to move back.

 

Are the left and right of different values?

If so, would you give up the left one???

No photos, please, during the explanation.

 

I thought CA sucked big time, until I heard every other state was battling the mother nature in some shape or form, while I was basking my testicles in the warm CA sun.

Until the next earthquake hits, or until I drive off and hit the next pothole...

 

Indeed!

In the 70's today, no clouds. Raw Fall weather, this, though it'll crash tomorrow: chance o'sprinkles.

Believe I'll take off for lunch @ Pt. Reyes Station. Oh, the humanity....

 

...not as bad as PA.

PA has just as bad winters, and 100x worse roads.

My 19"s I plan on getting next spring should be interesting to say the least...

 

Massachusetts is the only place where on a road with two lanes (both going in the same direction, as in one is used for passing, what a concept), someone will refuse to utilize the left lane and insist on tailgating you and beeping their horn simply because you're going the speed limit. This place is filled with generic red sox fans and scrubby WAAF listeners and I cannot stand it anymore

 

I've lived in many different states from coast to coast (CA, IL, OH, IN, KY, MA, VA, RI), and also in Italy and Germany.

MA is far from the worst driving experience. OK, the potholes suck, I'll grant that. But CA is far worse in terms of rude drivers.

Oddly, while I couldn't pick a *worst* place to drive (they all suck in different ways), I can pick a best place. Germany, overall, is simply excellent.

 

My 1-day trip to Boston many moons ago was quite enjoyable! Though I did use public transport... :eeps:

 

Why do you think folks in adjacent states call Massachusetts natives "MASSHOLES"?

 

Oh no, the secret is out. I don't think Massachusetts people realize what we call them.

 

Dorchester sucks!! I prefer driving on highways and avoid the more ghetto areas. They like to play bumper cars for some reason

 

I remember Boston on a frigid Winter day....a cold ferry to Martha's Vinyard....was amazed that a green arrow left for me did NOT mean oncoming traffic was gonna stop. :rofl:

Dang tourists.

 

you would think that growing up in this state i would be one of the people to defend it, but in reality I probably have a lot of weight when it comes to opinions on this state and the majority of people who live here, simply by that fact. people are such ***holes here it's seriously unbelieveable. some middle aged woman attempted to run me into oncoming traffic the other day, simply because when I was pulling up to a red light in THE SLOW LANE, i wouldn't speed up to it and decided to roll up cause smart people conserve gas. apparently that is not allowed in this state. the weather here sucks and most ppl are bitter, most women are ugly cause they simply dont care about how they look except for those 2 months in the summer when you can go outside but it's too humid to enjoy it. every time i visit someone in another state, coming back to this state is like going back to a jail cell after a conjugal visit.

 

Why not leave?

 

(I enjoyed my 4 years in Massachusetts)

 

If OP's beef with his own people of MA is the driving habit, I would think if you have enough patience to drive below speed limit and drift slowly to the stoplight, you should have enough patience to tolerate your fellow drivers

BTW I do both once in awhile myself, when I do so, it is usually I am in a super great mood, so much so if someone starts honking behind me, I consider it a compliment and wave at him/her.

 

i dont drive below the speed limit, ill drive maybe 5 or 10 miles above it, and people around here STILL get pissed. theres no way to be accepted in this area unless you drive some kind of huge annoying FORD truck or SUV with patriots and red sox stickers plasteres all over the back of it. this place is seriously the armpit of society.

 

Resurrecting this thread. I agree with your 100%.

My daily commute starts at 5:45am when , mind you, there isn't much traffic on 128S. I'll be doing 80-85mph and there is always some asshat riding my bumper. It sucks.

Were it not for my family here, I'd move to Austin in a heartbeat.

 

I lived in a fair number of places (MI, WI, IA, IL, MA). I currently live in AZ. There are only two things I like about the place. The weather from November-March and the roads. Beautiful, smooth, and expansive roads. Every other thing in this god forsaken ****ehole stinks to high heaven. The people are the motliest mixture of in-bred ******** who proudly shout their ignorance and stupidity from the rafters(Mesa/Gilbert), and vacuous d-bag jersey shore cast rejects (scottsdale). Everyone drives either a hummer or a similarly enormous F350 truck with massive wheels and then parks it in a compact car spot. And most of the time one can't even enjoy the roads because everyone here has no clue how to drive. Not just aggressive, but wildly erratically aggressive. It's a virtual daily occurrence that I am nearly hit or run off the road by some moron bimbo texting on the highway in her massive Chevy Tahoe with one car seat in it. I've lived in the same subdivision for 5 years and barely know any of my neighbors. Next summer I'm moving back north to PA and seriously it can't come soon enough.

 

lol Chevy Tahoe

 

I'm so sorry you feel that way! I love ma! Maybe you need to go west!

 

what city?
You might know me, I drive a Dark Green X5 with black style 57 rims

 

I'm so sorry you feel that way! I love ma! Maybe you need to go west!

 

.

 

It's only polite to move out of the way !

 

if you hate it so much why don't you leave?

 

Especially a day like today: open the sunroof and enjoy the ride!

 

I work and live in between 190 and 91. Not really a city girl, I actually enjoy driving the rt. 2 corridor !!

 

orange area?!
rt 2 is nothing crazy... trade your x3 for sedan or coupe or even an x5 and than take some curvy roads.
Ah I like country too, thats why I have the X5 for a bit of off-roading.

 

Funny you say that! I'm trying to rationalize a "summer" BMW!

 

Summer bmw in mass? Cmon girl, its new england! Today its 94 and in a few days it might just snow like it did in october. Smh

 

Smh? You're not helping!! Rt.2 in a convertible bmw in any weather! As long as the heat works!!

 

In a convertible?! Must be a chick thing! But m3 or m5 on any back road! Muahhhh.
