Be advised that the temperament of drivers in other parts of the
country are not the same as the impatient hotheads you have to deal
with. I've never been yelled at or flipped off in eight years of
driving an NA diesel westy through the south. I've been saluted, waved
at, and gotten hundreds of peace signs, though.

Note to self: stay home.
