Why does Colorado hate Texas so much? (Durango, Aspen: how much, vacation home)

My best friends came from Texas. they lived across the street from me and I miss them sooooooo much. They moved back to TX and I have never missed a family so much in my life.

I can't wrap my brain around this and this is why it ticks me off. this thread is the suck. I hate it because it's not how real Coloradans are.

This thread's getting bigger...and funnier...

Do you still feel like you can speak for the rest of us?

Yeah, you know, I grew up listening to my dad get furious in the car when he sees a Texas plate, and I never understood why, until I started driving.

Other than that though, Texans don't really upset me that much

I haven't really noticed a preponderance of TX bad drivers here. Maybe that's just the indoctrination I got for living in San Antonio for two years. Or maybe they've just all gotten CO license plates now.

I think Jazzy is right. Texans are used to mostly flat land driving and when visiting, don't know how to negotiate mountain roads.

I remember the reaction my ex wife got when she thought she could drive up Pikes Peak for the first time (having never been to Colorado) SHe made it about 1/4 past Santa's Village and freaked and hid on the floor with her eyes closed the whole way up, Crying and praying to God to let her live. (she immeadiatley made me drive the rest of the way, obviously)

It was the funniest thing i've ever witnissed. She was ok once we were on top though, and managed to try to look out a few times on the way down.

If Texans only knew how much we hated them…Im damn sure if you could buy a hunting permit to shoot them they would run out in the first day…hell if it were only a fine to shoot a texan or run them off of I70, I would set aside cash every week to do so…we complete books of texan jokes texans have earned the right to be the butt of our jokes and hate for them….they cant ski for **** and always screw up the lift lines..the only times that I have been mowed over on a ski trail was from a texan…then theres the fact that you cant drive in snow and still drive like its nascar in your suburban..you never have your vehicle set up for snow conditions and are always trying to pass the all wheel drive vehicle with snow tires…there is a reson we are going a little slower..even though we have driven the road hundreds of times in storms…we know where the texans are going to spin out and cause a wreck…which gets the mtn pass closed..I have been hit 3 times by a texan driving like crap in a snow storm…and if your not driving too fast then your doing like 5mph because its snowing..its the rocky mtns! it snows! so come prepared!….we also dont throw carloads of trash out the car window..our state is beautiful thats why ytou spend money to come see it…I understand why littering doesent matter in tx…its an ugly schitt hole..except for a few areas in west tx..also we get tired of rescuing your dumb asses from rocky mtn national..because you didnt have the proper gear and thought you would be ok in a tshirt and blue jeans(because your a tough texan) so I think its funny as hell when I see you on the news saying that you almost froze to death! Im alos not sure why you are proud of texas..I have had to work many months down there..all I found was a flat,poluted,miserable place..with a high teen pregnancyand crime rate..not much to do,a horrible climate,and most of the people have very ignorant opinons about things they know nothing about,or places they cant even find on a map because they never leave texas to find out that there is so much more culture,land and completley different opinions/people in the world…Im sorry TEXAS BLOWS ASS! so do all of us natives in colorado a favor and yourself…dont visit here,dont buy a vacation home here and pretend you fit in and last dont ski here…go to New Mexico its closer,and they need the money much more..and remeber if you see a **** on texas sticker on the back of the jeep,subaru,or plow truck that just ran you off the road..it was just a colorado native(maybe even me or my family)just getting back at you….texans have very little to be proud of…except ignorant bliss

They can move to Pueblo, I will personally put out the red carpet for them!

[MountainPharmD]

Because Texans are idiots thats why!!! I just moved here from Colorado and can attest from a first hand basis it is true.

[COflower]

Colorado doesn't hate Texans, only morons hate...seriously, this thread should have died a LONG time ago.

If God wanted Texans to ski he'd a painted BS white
