One hand on wheel, one hand holding gun near crotch, crack rocks on front seat with loud hip-hop music blasting through tinted windows: Michigan

Driving large pick up with confederate flag logo on hood, beer cans in bed of truck listening to loud new age country music: Georgia

Driving pick up truck with cousin in passenger seat, pulling horse trailer: Kentucky

Car or truck with bad suspension, Knee on wheel, 40 ounce Colt 45 in one hand, clutching an 8 track tape with the other, Arbys bags on floor: Indiana

Driving on sidewalk, clutching mixed drink in one hand, pager in other with head out side window yelling to people to get out out of the way: Nevada

Driving car with heater on in dead of summer, fishing poles tied down on the roof rack: Minnesota

Driving a late model rusted out and weathered sedan, sporting a paranoid look with a meth lab in the trunk: Oregon

Other note: Is it me, or am I slowing become the official thread ender in a few of these forums?

Have a great day!
