Wow, I say the same thing, just 180* different. California got messed up by all the transplants that came from other states! Natives are cool it's all the carpet baggers and johnny come latelies that screwed up the good thing we had going on.

Haha, wow. I make my statement based on the amount of people that moved here during the housing bubble explosion. Everyone selling their houses in Cali for MAJOR profit, then moving here and building because of the relatively cheaper real estate.
You suffer from all the tree hugging grass munchers. Their the ones driving the Prius's. :gee:

That is correct. CA's net growth by migration was positive. 446k total. However, that's only because more people have moved here from other countries than have left to go to other states. Our international migration was at 1.8 million whereas domestic migration was almost -1.4 million. Americans are leaving CA everyone else is coming to CA.

My DD is a 5.3L Silverado. I go to/from NJ, DE, PA quite often. I've noticed that drivers seem to treat pickup drivers with less respect. Now, I don't know what came first, less respect for pickup drivers so they drive like idiots, or they drive like idiots so they have less respect, or a combination of the two.
With my daily dealings with idiot drivers in the tri-state area, while driving my pickup, I've *had* to cut people off. Example: 2 lanes merging into one. I'll be in the one lane, 2 vehicles to my left in the other lane. One of the lanes is ending so you space it to allow a vehicle in front and a vehicle behind you. Common courtesy. 75% of the time, in my Silverado, the 2nd vehicle to my left will start to tailgate the vehicle in front of him. This makes it so I cannot merge. So I force my way in so as not to slam on my brakes or be run off the road. Yes, I have to cut the other driver off, but he forced me into this situation. This is just one example, from a pickup driver.. lol

Actually, if you see him moving to block you, then you can choose to swallow your pride and slow down to get behind him. You are not being forced to cut him off, you choose to because you're pissed that he would block you.
My pickup is a lowriding, straight-piped Nissan (bought it this way, plan on raising back to stock height and adding a muffler, it has a cat) and I get no more or no less respect/disrespect when driving that thyan when in my XJ or riding with my wife in her minivan. People are just idiots in general. Guys in trucks piss me off moreso than others because most of them are lifted with huge tires yet they still drive as though the vehicle were a stock sedan. Carvin up the corners, using up the whole road so as to be able to go as fast as possible around the blind uphill corners heading out to Pioneertown, tailgating, cutting off, swerving through traffic. It's bad enough when a guy in a Mini Cooper does it, but at least his vehicle can handle and stop, it's worse when the guy in the Super Duty w/Powerstroke and 42s thinks he can ride your ass and not run you over should something cause you to have to hit the brakes.

I think maybe it's a lot of subconscious pecking order at work. Back in the day, I mostly had '60s big performance cars, SS Imala, 421 Grand Prix, things like that. Maybe people were more courteous, but I didn't notice the aggression that you see today. For the last twenty-five years we had a Firebird, wasn't fast, only a six-banger, but still, for the most part, people gave you your space. For a long time, I also had an old Mercury station wagon, wood and all. You'd get tail-gated, passed in a hurry, all because it was an old folks car. Now with the XJs, I notice most of the aggression comes from bigger, newer SUVs. That being said, I find myself less tolorant of cheap little cars, especially poorly thought-out ricers. All lowered down, front wheels out of alignment, fart-can emitting the sounds of flatulence, around here driven by someone who has no insurance, and won't speak Englais. Or the old farmer types, in their moth-eaten '70s pick-ups, with nowhere to go, and all day to get there. We all have a stereotype that pushes our buttons.
