Illinois drivers drive much faster in Wisconsin than Wisconsin drivers do. No matter where I go, if I see a car fly by me on the freeway, more often than not it is an Illinois driver. Its nuts.

thye must all be in a hurry to get away from the debt collectors, as chicago real estate is tanking. they are probably trying to get to their vacation homes only to find out they have been seized or foreclosed on too!!! I would drive fast if I were them, and with $5.00 gas coming soon they will slow down if they can afford their fast paced lifestyle anymore...which they probably could never really afford any way!!!!!

They are just broke, busy bees who bit off more than they could chew. Just laugh at em..it works for me!!!!!!

Cheers

carmac why are you offended by don vito? i'm sure you can relate to people coming into your area and ruining it. he's not saying all polish people drink and get in car crashes. he's just saying that that type of people coming into his area is ruining it. look at how ca is getting ruined by non english speaking criminals. by saying that i'm not meaning that all non english speaking people are criminals so if you don't speak english don't take offense.

Yes, I can relate to people coming into my area and ruining it...that's why I want to move from Southern California...but I'm not moving to get away from people who speak Polish!

no you're not!(wanting to move from cali to get away from polish people) that's because it's not the polish ruining your town. but if it were that would be the reason you would want to leave. get it? it's all relative. here he's talking about the
rogue polock. (if my post offends anyone i will remove it.)

I'm originally from Wisconsin, but live in Chicago. I got a crapload of speeding tickets when I lived in Milwaukee County and had Wisconsin plates. I drive up to Wisconsin several times a year now to see family and friends, and have only had one ticket with my Illinois plate (and of course it was in Milwaukee County). The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department aparently has nothing better to do???

The thing is, out-of-state license plates are a target in every state, not just Wisconsin. I don't know why. But the attitude of the OP (I know, its been a year, get over it...) is crazy and incredibly arrogant! I'm sorry I'm bringing this old stuff up, but it makes me so mad! His wife was breaking the law and got caught, so he's not going to vacation in Wisconsin anymore?!!! How stupid is that? Its that attitude that gives Illinois residents a bad name in Wisconsin!
