well I sold my truck. Moving to Austin Texas in September and I'm looking to buy something there. Thank you everyone for help when I needed it and all the information I have learned.

 

You're moving to Austin eh? You need a prius or VW beetle and a peace pipe.

 

yeah I've heard it's pretty liberal....my girlfriend wanted something that has Toronto feel if you know what I mean. Guess who the conservative is...but guess who lost that battle...yep me

 

It aint too bad though, seems like a lot of people are moving there so it's getting crowded.

It's getting yankeeish, doesn't seem like Texas. I had a *presumed drunk or crazy migrant worker try to run me off the road last time I was down there. I had my gun out, he's lucky I was able to flee the situation.

 

is it still Texas friendly though? cause south Florida (Fort Lauderdale and surrounding area) is very Yankeeish and not very friendly...god forbid you say good morning to someone

 

Yeah, I'm sure it is in the right areas. Lots of Hippies and weirdos that go out of their way to be weird. Don't mind weirdos if they are original and don't stink too bad, just don't like the unoriginal ones that do it for attention.

Hit up 6th street sometime, I go down and visit my brother sometimes... It's kinda cool.

 

yeah i heard 6th street is where it's at...I wanna live near Lake Travis though...the work is in Austin...I hate downtown cores

 

Feel free to keep up with the site even with no truck - you've gained lots of insight to share with others.

Good luck with your move. Hope it works out well down there - it's going to be a climatic shock coming from Canada! I actually want to move north!

 

Well who would a thought it. Don't tell me that the US is going like the Uk. I went into pay for Diesel this morning and said mornin to a guy waitin to pay next to me and he looked at me asif I was an alien. Thats the very reason I want to move to US and Diesel prices as well. Just paid over $10 a gallon - god only knows how much i'm gonna pay to fill up my Cummins - when I get it.
Cheers guys - happy diesel motoring.

 

That's over 3 times our cost here ouch.

And when someone doesn't reply to my gestures of kindness I repeat my gesture of kindness in a way that gets their attention.

 

Ah heck

ull find plenty of cummins lovin rednecks and country folk out there.. Ive driven my vehicle thru austin, and smokey and loud as it is, chicks still dig it!

anyways on a serious note, just keep touch on here, ull be back in a ram in no time, and theres plenty of get togethers if you have the time...

I'm definitely going to stay on here and help everyone and join in on the rants...Hey UK-RAM. The unfriendlyness is mostly visible in the major cities. NY, the south Florida area, Los Angeles etc. I find folks fiendlier in the US than here in Ontario. Even in buffalo (where people are bitter, burned out and miserable) people were very friendly. I know Austin is liberal but I don't think it's anywhere as bad as Toronto.

 

Just be sure you only associate with us Native Texans. We're the friendly ones.

 

ill agree, the city part of southern florida sucks, i love driving through the glades and the cane fields though.

 

hey TO isn't that bad .... as long as u dont talk to us ... but ya TO has changed over the past 10yrs its all these dang condos that dont let in the light so people are getting bitter
