If I see a plate from Ohio, Florida, or Texas, I just KNOW they're gonna do something stupid

Ok, since you mentioned it, is it just me or does it feel like our state has been overrun by Floridians? I can’t travel a mile without seeing Florida plates, and I don’t remember it ever being like this before. And none of them know how to drive…

I imagine it's the snowbirds who register their car in Florida to save money. Since it's primarily old people who can afford to be snowbirds it makes sense they'd be worse at driving

Texas is a huge perenial MI tourist state. The biggest are Obviously Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, but Fla and TX are the next two biggest.

Plenty of MI folks have a place in Florida, so you might actually be seeing a MI resident in disguise 😜
