Are you one of those guys who wears your hat with the bill cocked at a random 19º angle from the front o' your head? Or maybe you were slouched so far into the center of your car you could barely see over the clock?

It alright, man. In Wisconsin, I'm evidently a snob 'cause I drive a Lexus. Whatever. I dry my eyes and wipe away the snot, and I'm good to go.

Whenever I wear a hat I have it cocked at an angle, but Im not one of those guys Frandorn is describing lol. I hardly see any CL members in Houston or Austin. Everyone seems to mean mug in Texas lol.

That is darn funny...and true! The GS in the snow is less fun than a unicycle with a racing slick in the snow.

I always get dirty looks, especially when I'm in El Paso. My car just has wheels, nothing extravagant.

I always get people hanging out the windows taking videos and pictures lol. Usually I give them a quick blip of the throttle so they can hear the turbo and they all giggle like schoolgirls....fun stuff lol.
