Default Fear and loathing in CT

Read enough of my posts and you'll figure out that i hate CT... to many damn rich kids with daddys who dont mind buying them brand new GT stangs (friend of mine...sigh... wish my daddy would buy me a sports car)

Anyway... who else is suffering in CT with me, I'm in Newtown (its near Danbury)

I grew up in CT and I didn't get a new car until I was 30 years old and until then I drove complete embarrassments for cars. I had a few friends that had some cool cars when they were younger but they were always bought used and were never big money. So it's a little silly to stereotype the whole state because of a few rich kids. You can find rich kids w/ brandnew cars in any state.

Agreed. When I lived off of Charlotte there was just as many spoiled morons as there are up here, maybe more.

Granted, if you have to pass through Greenwich every day you might have a point, but the normal parts of the state aren't any worse than the rest of the country.

I also went to UCONN, and lived in the dorms. I had a job and paid for the whole thing myself. I had friends in the dorm with $3K a month alowances. One girl was pissed when her parents cut her alowance to $3k. lol

Connecticut has a lot of bad points but overall is a good place to live, prosper, and have a lot of car-related fun, not to mention all the hot chicks in this area. i'll take CT over any other state.

suggestion: use those "rich kids" you loath as motivation to do better, nothing like beating a $50,000 car with a $10,000 car......i do that regularly....big smiles.
