ive lived in MI, IN, CT, AZ, IL (Chicago), and Japan. the east coast drivers, without doubt, are the most inconsiderate, angry, unskilled bunch.

sorry if I have offended any east coast dwellers....just don't get too angry and end up running someone down.

The only part I disagree with is unskilled. They are great when everyone on the road is acting as aggressively as possible in a me first way, and everyone knows it.

They are horrific in any situation where that is not the optimum driving solution or there is someone trying to be nice. Add that to roads that cannot possibly handle the number of drivers on them, and you pretty much have hell on wheels. Now there are always idiots, but with the above mindset you just assume they were doing something meaningful to only them.

But you can call these morons anything you want. The USA would be a better place if 90% of people in the northeast corridor did not ever exist.

I will concede some of them are skilled...but then again, so is an assassin working for the CIA.

I just bought a 2010 Yaris with 52k miles and I'm considering changing from conventional oil to synthetic, what do some of you recommend, and also considering using the E3 spark plugs and K&N air filter, I went to the dealer to ask for there opinion and they really didn't want to say yes or no on the oil and plugs because I guess they think i'll hold them accountable if any problems happened. I guess I should mention that I live in Florida with hot weather!

Thanks Mark
