I used to think that too. Having lived in MA for over 50 years and now living here it's far worse here! No one has a clue here what a blinker is and whatever the speed limit is, add 15 mph to that and you're still going to slow.

You can be going 85 on the I-17 and there will be someone right on your bumper and if they're in the far left lane and their exit comes up they'll shoot across 5 lanes to make it. If you're at a red light and it changes you have to wait because you can bet some is running the light in the other direction. I've never seen so many accidents on surface streets like out here. Saw a car the other day up on its drives door wedged into the median. Sill have no clue how it happened as there wasn't a side street near it or a driveway where someone could've pulled out in front of them. :facepalm:

I won't get into how rude the people are out here. I absolutely hate MA but when I hear people say Masshole I just laugh now because it's far worse out here.
OK Dave, you could coin a new on....AzzHole?

How's your gas mileage when pulling your trailer?
I got 18.8 MPG which I thought was fantastic. I did 70-75 a lot of the way. The trailer is only 1100# + another 500 of camping stuff.

I heard a while ago we lost out title for worst drivers in the country. Now seeing the timeframe of when that happened you wouldn’t have anything to do with you leaving here now would it? ?

You guys in AZ and the others in MA have nothing compared to us in FL. You’re not even in the top 10 ranking for worst drivers. Having driven in both your states, I can tell you that South Florida has the absolute worst drivers in America. Were it not for the rest of Florida balancing out our numbers, SoFl would be number 1.
  1. Mississippi
  2. Texas
  3. New Mexico
  4. Missouri
  5. Oklahoma
  6. Alabama
  7. Tennessee
  8. Kentucky
  9. Arkansas
  10. Florida

HI Folks,

My Ranger did a bit or work. It hauled a King sized mattress for my buddy to his house from his daughter's new townhome. It had to be hauled on top of the tonneau cover due to size...It then hauled a tall narrow cabinet with saguaro rib door back to the daughter's townhome and picked up a queen Anne chair at the daughter's house to my buddy's house. It was a very mild 105°F during the process...Cold beer required at the end of the endeavor

Does driving to Jersey Mike's for a steak sub and tailgating in the parking lot count as "doing something with my Ranger"
Only if you're bringing me one?

That's quality time right there. A sub and some tunes or even a good audio book.
