Listen, I came up here with an air of superiority to myself. "I learned to drive in Atlanta, you got nothing on me!"

It took one green plate speed demon passing me on slush to be immediately humbled.

Nah, a lot of people come here from cities thinking we're slow hillbillies for how we drive, and very confidently zoom straight off the road. As long as nobody dies, we kiiiind of think it's hilarious. Deer and black ice come out of NOWHERE up here.
ETA one time in high school my friends and I were taking it slow on the highway in winter when a Mass plate shot by with a middle finger up. Three miles later they had a car full of high schoolers laughing and waving at them as we went by them sitting in the ditch.
