    In Texas? Good luck. This is the state where people express themselves by putting horns on their cars.

    It’s also the state where you sometimes have to drive two hours just to get to the supermarket.

      Yeah, I think the latter component is what makes this request ludicrous. Everything in Texas is so spread out. It is not a place you can reasonably get around without a car. Mass transit exists, but it’s pretty inefficient in most the cities.

        People who’ve never lived in Texas really don’t get it. Everything is spread out to an almost ludicrous degree. I drive an hour to get to my friend’s house, and I don’t even consider him to be far away. We both live in the same metroplex.

        Public transportation is almost complete failure here due to not being prioritized, and driving anywhere is a pain in the ass with drivers from all over just winging it on congested streets. Don’t even get me started on overpriced tolls that have become the only reasonable way to travel 30min+

        Texas is not ok.

              I just think its funny that out of the vast number of horned vehicles that stampede through Texas I guess? You find a pic of one in Arizona.

                It was literally the first image I saw and it was an example of what I meant. I really didn’t think it was necessary to check the license plate design.

                    Or I just don’t give a shit about figuring out a license plate that doesn’t clearly stay what state it is on it when I want to explain what I mean by horns on a car. Why would I? Exactly how tight do you think my anal sphincter is?
