And the people in Wyoming will have the same problem when people like you continue to transplant themselves there!

I see more and more Wyoming license plates on cars on the freeway day in and day out. here in Denver. On my last trip up North I hardly saw any Colorado plates.

No, no snow but I have beachfront property now with what looks like lots of white sand.

I think theres horrible drivers everywhere, at least 80% of people in my experience have no knowledge of their vehicle, no driving skill in terms of above beginner technique, and when people get in a car all of a sudden they're invincible. My advice is take you car to some empty spot in the winter and test its limits, get a feel for grip under different conditions, learn throttle control and throttle steering, learn how to hear the engine, learn how to be smooth, etc etc. When I was in wyoming most drivers were just overly agressive and had no rural road curtesy or knowledge, but I think thats just small-man complex, 5'5 and below, overweight, attitude, and the biggest truck on the market = my experience with drivers in wyo, haha.

Yeah, and most of those people were likely transplants from the southern states of the oil patch who moved to Wyoming to work the energy business. And, usually every winter, a bunch of 'em would move back south after they "endured" the first bad winter weather. Some of the best drivers I encountered anywhere--in bad or good weather or road condtions--were Wyoming drivers. They put many Colorado drivers to shame--and I'm a native Coloradan. One reason I think this is the case is that--because of the long distances between communities in Wyoming, along with the potential of very serious adverse winter driving conditions on remote highways--most Wyoming drivers kept their vehicles mechanically prepared for bad condtions, and the drivers themselves were emotionally and mentally prepared to deal with adverse conditions.
