It’s not all backwater towns with populations less than 1,000. I’m in CT and there have been a few pretty decent, rare finds recently.

Big truck you can’t hurt + lots of acreage. Bonus points for removing shitty 80's white trash satellite dish.

Not to the same degree. Not even close. Try to open a business in France or Italy and see how many people you have to bribe just to get your permits issued within your lifetime. We just don’t have that here.

480,000 illegal cars? Time for a Spec VeeDub racing series.

Hot VAG action so dirty it’s illegal!

The Newport News and Norfolk area of the state is not so great, assuming that’s where you probably were if stationed in the Navy. Living in the Appalachian part of the state makes it worth it, great driving, beautiful scenery, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and rarely get bothered by police.

2) If I fire a pistol into a crowd (even if I’m not gunning for anybody in particular), that is murder.

I’m 12.
