I think it's more of a big city and high concentration of stupidity areas.
I live in centralish, almost northern, Maine(pop 1.2 million) and generally
drivers are pretty decent and courteous.  But we are getting a lot of out
of staters moving in from MA and NY and such.  They love to hog the fast
lane and are just shitty drivers.  They'll ge thiers though when some good
ol boy gets pissed and runs them off the road, hahaha.
I have driven across country many times and you can still go to places like
MT where everyone waves at you going down the road, pretty cool.
Scirocco content- got a bunch of parts from Potterman yesterday- Great,
some where much cheaper than I expected and today I got my guage faces from
Brett.  :)
