Except if the vehicle has Californian plates when it is 70 and you can weave back and forth from one lane to the other.

Do any Californian vehicles have working turn signals or is that a cost option?

This also extends to BMWs

mrken30

I thought everything was a cost option with BMWs

I think moving from PNW to the Deep South would be a huge culture shock. the US is a huge country.

I think the UK imports vast majority of goods.
Also HFCS has become less of an issue in more recent years. Loads of products are now HFCS free including Hershey's peanut butter cups, but Newman's are still better.

I recall how I detested the ubiquitous use of "cute" when I first arrived. A puppy or a baby might be cute, nothing else. Fast forward . . . cute, cute, cute, cute, cute . . . it just trips innocently off my tongue all the time!

RoadWarriorFromLP

That sounds like an advantage.

Do you mean orange squash/cordial?

Then there are the big rig drivers from outside California who chug along in the third lane of the LA freeways taking two miles to pass another big rig going slower in the second lane, slowing traffic for miles behind, leaving only the fast lane for the rest of us to get through and out of their way so if we come up behind a 3rd lane big rig we have to peel off like bloody fighter pilots in a dog fight to get into the fast lane before someone already in the fast lane rams us up the ass.

They're all twats who think they don't have to have a front license plate
