I drove a friends BRZ. It was a very composed car, and looks $20k more expensive than it is, except the nav.Fun little car though, test drove one when they first came out.

I agree. It had a very well dialed in suspension and feedback from everything was great. If I get one, though, rims and pss tires are the first things I'm doing. It's fun on Proust tires, but several mags have gotten 1-1.05g out of it with proper tires without unbalancing the dynamics. It's sms amazing platform just begging for 50bhp more, too, although I could be content with stock + exhaust to liven up the sound after I remove the cabin piping system.It could be the exact same car, just with the name BMW on it and they would probably get 20 more for it too ha
I spent five minutes watching that dog...
You play your bagpipes, I drive my car for fun.
Lol, I never once said I was anything special, and there are people here with all sorts of faster, better, cooler items. I'm sorry you feel that way. Melt down? Whine? You probably have never met me. If I had cool guy budget, I would have a salt spray cabinet, etc. Oh, well,lol. We do what we can, and I've got a lot of time Om my hands to do it with.
Gear malfunction and lack of warranty backing does get a whine or two from me, but I also learned a thing or two from that.
Also, I was 13 when I left La the first time. I had become socially withdrawn for the most part and was very negative about things in general. Over the course of a year or so living in Texas, I made lots of friends, enjoyed going out, and became more and more pleasant toward the world. I forgot how it was here/thought it would be different when I'm older. So I came back for college. It has not changed. Over a few years, I've gone back to being a negative person, picking at others, thinking the worst, refusing to associate with people I don't already know, etc. So yes, I've find this before, and no, ju problems didn't follow me. I shook off my shitty attitude pretty quick once I got out, and am a bit ashamed of how I have become, but its a mirror of last time. Take it as a whine if you want, just sharing my experience with fitting in and loving positive attitudes vs. Not fitting in and hating local attitudes. Also, the southern part of this state does seem way more friendly and open, so maybe you won't understand what I mean.
Amazingly enough, I would say that LEO contributes more than half of the source of problem there. People usually find what they are looking for and lately some of the officers have been looking for problems.
Wow, all those problems at age 13? I think it's sad you blame your problems on a whole state.

I got problems with the place I live in compared to where I used to live but I attribute that 100% to running in different social circles, and a sedentary job, and living in the 3rd biggest city in the state, in contrast to living 15 minutes from the nearest gas station in the middle of nowhere, before.
Yea, I go back to stay with my parents, or close by, 2-3 times a year. It's a great change of pace and a great way to 'recharge my batteries' or at least, empty the 'rage tanks' which is probably more accurate, lol. I get back to Laffy and immediately my stress levels start getting back, before I even get back to work. I take it as a sign that I need to sell this house and move further away :PSame. I mellowed out the week I moved 30 minutes from the nearest wallyworld. I really dig my neighbors now too. I only have four within a mile of where I live, and one is a Vietnam era "Snake Eater".

I don't blame any problems on the whole state, I simply do not belong in the area I live in. When you don't fit, you don't want to integrate, and others would prefer you didn't. So it tends to result in a lot of time on your hands until you move. Certainly that is the cause of plenty of the nails in the saltwater tests I've done. I'm bored as **** and there is nothing I would rather be doing around here.
Umm, actually, you did. We can only go by what you say. Do you know what you are saying very often?
Lafayette is a good place to be. There's a /great/ variety of people, I find. There are self-proclaimed oilfield trash, redneck coonasses, painters and writers, even a burlesque troupe is getting it's start near here, and there's a great mix of fine arts to modern arts to high tech and culinary enthusiasts as well as sports nuts and all manner of hobbies with a good circle. It's kind of like getting the good parts of NOLA culture without the bad parts of NOLA in addition to the regular south-Louisiana stuff. I've met a good bunch of people around here - I just don't have the free time for much of a social life!
I hit up Red's one time, and I also did a bit of driving around. I got a totally different "vibe" there than I do here. I honestly feel like if I had grown up around there, I may not be moving from this state as I would have a huge network of friends centralized there, instead of what I have now, blown across the whole US. It's kindof nice when I travel, but meh. It would be nice to have a beer with friends at home from time to time!
But I know if you're going to move, it's likely not to another part of Louisiana, so it may be moot. I've not heard much good about the Shreveport area except for people who are kind of a loner type that just like to keep to themselves with a good friend or two, and have quiet weekends to themselves. You sound like you'd rather be pretty outgoing and socially active, so I can see how that area might suck. I don't know much about the area though.
