> And if you own a prius in the midwest, it's not a matter of IF someone will key it in the parking lot of home depot, it's a matter of WHEN.

I live in Texas, where I'd expect such behavior before I saw it in the midwest; parking lots are awash in Priuses, and no-one seems to bat an eye at it. Maybe it's that I live in a city. Where in the midwest would you expect this?




Probably some rural areas. There was one sparsely populated area in Northern Wisconsin I was told avoid ordering food at non-chain restaurants. They would happily try to kill you or make you sick if you had a food allergy.

Having grown up in Wisconsin, I absolutely believed that. I went to high school with people like that. And they got it from their parents.

My dad heckled me for getting a Prius and buying Apple products.

It makes me really sad because they aren’t representative of the majority of rural people I know.


Anywhere >1 hour away from a city


Damn, people need to get a life.
