Default Rate your Region

Id like to know how everybody feels about their region in the U.S and how it ties into their automotive life. I for one rate the M.W as a 6/10....-1:We don't have a lot of exotics running around(I see the same ferrari and lambo every time im out);-2:our winters are horrible so we have to store our toys;-3:our women are bland (at least in chicago);-4: The weather is horrible period..its hot for 3 months and then crap for the other 9. Thats my take on the midwest , what about you other domesticatorators????

I would give hawaii a 8/10 More exotics than I need to deal with, plenty of hot chicks, Daily drive all year. The bad is the roads suck. Most populated island has no track. and shipping on car parts sucks.

The worst part about MI, other than winter and salt on the roads is that the weather is day to day. We get snow in April and thunderstorms mid winter! I give us a 7/10 because the summers are usually decent, plus I live close to Milan Dragway. There's not much auto action out in my neck of the woods otherwise.

Texas would have to get a 10/10 for me as well. Its fairly easy to get an inspection, we have a real good street racing scene, lots of nice cars, it just about never snows, theres lots of good performance shops... the list goes on.

Missouri sucks. Winters suck. Roads SUCK. I mean what the hell is here? Farmers and farmland that's what. Did I mention the roads are terrible... plus we have inspections...and we have to have front license plates... and KCIR is nothing to brag about.

8/10, lots of great cars, not too many exotics but some, ton's of muscle, some tasteful imports, big turbo supra's, bad bikes, 8 sec. street cars, and girls in Oklahoma are pretty hot too. The only downside is the lack of tons of exotic's, and the roads suck in most places.

How can you give CA a 10/10 with the emissions stuff? That by itself should preclude a 10/10 rating.

10/10 for TX. There's no better place to be.
