The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Michigan: There is a lot of fun stuff in Michigan! Even if you don’t go to the U.P. Check out the Dossin Great Lakes Museum (really, it’s fun) on good old historic (vaguely creepy) Belle Isle, then catch a show somewhere, like St. Andrews Hall or the Magic Bag (in Ferndale). Eat a Coney Dog at Lafayette Coney Island and then drive to Ann Arbor because you’ve done almost everything worth doing in Detroit. In Ann Arbor, though, you can eat at Zingerman’s Roadhouse or Deli (EAT AT ZINGERMAN’S THIS IS WORTH A TRIP TO MICHIGAN IF NOTHING ELSE IS), drink incredibly good beers, and go to an apple orchard/cider mill, which is a thing that people don’t have in other parts of the world, which is a crime. Michigan has awesome farmer’s markets, too.
Go see the Mackinac Bridge.
Ohoh or the Henry Ford Museum outside detroit and see Lincoln's death chair!

If you end up in the mid-west, and more specifically Wisconsin, stop off in New Glarus. It's a nice little place with a good local brewery.
Oh, addendum: last I checked it also has a legit sword forge owned by the man who conceived, designed, and hand forged the original sword held by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian. There's that, too.
If you drive with the attitude of 'Okay everyone else on the road is a retard and may merge into my lane/stop short at any time for any reason,' you really are just fine
People are just dumb down here
In Atlanta, people try to kill each other with their cars
In Atlanta, you have hours of traffic that piles up based on nothing at all.
Traffic is a sentient life-form in Atlanta that has learned to reproduce.
This means that it is evolving.
Yes, this, pretty much this. You'll sit in atlanta traffic for like, 20 minutes and then once you reach the main point of congestion to see what the hold up is it'll be a balloon, or someone holding a sign up for $2 dollar sandwiches.
And don't get me started on trying to drive a bike. Holy shit, I make a deal with god every time I have to go somewhere. It's not a question of what will happen if I get into an accident, no, I know i'll die immediately. People will actually try to swerve around me in the same goddamn lane.
God forbid I'm only going 50 in a 45. People will actually try to do those "love taps" when you're on a goddamn motorcycle.
I got to get OTP, there's too many colored folk here!!! And little Dakota's soccer practice is in 45 mins and we still need to get her Gluten-Free snack cakes for her blood-sugar issues!!!
Jesus, it's insane what's considered acceptable driver behavior in some areas. Jess was rather surprised when I explained that in Washington you're actually required to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks and that you will be ticketed if a cop sees you trying to cut off a pedestrian crossing the street. Y'all motherfuckers need to chill the fuck out.

Well maybe you fuckers shouldn't be playing in the god-damned street
Also before anyone asks the homeless guy wasn't hurt.
His name was Rick. I took him to a crappy chicken and fish joint a few blocks away where he ate a ton of chicken and biscuits. I ate some gizzards and we parted ways afterwards.
The worst state: Kansas. Do not go. MILES AND MILES OF NOTHING AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.
The best state: Colorado. The only shitty part is all the altitude changes. I'm from jersey, and like like 500 above sealevel. Going up to 8-9-10k will give you a headache, in my experience.
Edit: Alaska is actually pretty wonderful, too, but that's not entirely roadtrippable for most people.

I had a bicyclist latch onto he back of my car once in traffic.
He thought he was a fucking wizard until I slammed on my brakes and he cracked his head on my trunk and then I took off dumping him to the ground.
Wrong car jackass.
Hahaha, oh man Stale, I laughed at this for like 10 solid minutes.
I'm just picturing you driving down peachtree street and some hipster jackass is holding onto your car with one hand and drinking a pbr with the other and then WHAM!
Hahahaha

What about Fort Lauderdale?

Looking good there, Joe
Less than two months before I get back, now
There is a huge bike lane, on my way to school. Did I ever see bikes on it last year? No.
Did I see giant gangs of Lance Armstrong wannabes in the middle of the street making me late to class at least once a week? Yes.
I have no pity for bicyclist's. Get a motorized vehicle, and put on some pants that don't hug every inch of you.

Because holy shit that's obnoxious
Philly never scared
Yes that would be why I used it.
Also, yeah they do critical mass in atlanta.
