wonder why it seems more people on the forum are from the eastern half of the United States

 

The southeast specifically - guess they just have good taste in automobiles.

 

Maybe the guys out west have better things to do! (except when it's 100+ out)

 

I think they're all driving electric chairs on wheels on the west coast.







Kidding!

 

Hmm I wondered the same thing. But guys what do they do with these cars in the winter!!! At least we can drive ours all year round


But Fred and I are paying for that luxury right now 110 yikes. Damn ACs never set below 60, and its in the 90s by 7am yikes!

 

What are these Left Coast and Right Coasts of which you speak?

 

We don't have to worry about that here in "HOTLANTA".Doesn't get 110 but 100 and humid.

 

I am in central Maryland. We get bad snow storms every ten years or so. Most years little to no snow at all. Usually only February gets really cold, as in below freezing.

 

.......We get about 6months of good driving weather..then in the winter a day here and there (this is our secret to low mileage cars)....and if the temp gets up to 35 degrees and and there's a little sun...oh boy get out the hose because somebody's getting a bath

 

This is interesting, My question was why are there seemingly more east coast guy then west coast guys, and all you have done is talk about the weather.....
so does that mean you easters have more time to use up than us in the west because we are driving our cars, and you are bored to death so you think up projects and stay indoors on the forum more?
I am not being derrogative, I just never lived outside california or arizona. The east coast lifestyle is an unknown thing to me.
Why would you live where the weather limits your life so much?
Here, it rains like 6-8 days a year, everyday is a corvette day, If you wash your car every week, you just hose it off, and dry it. If you take something on your car apart, it's warm well past midnight, you don't need thermals or mucklucks, and you can get it back together to drive it tomorrow.
If you want to go swimming, you can go in the pool between april to thanksgiving, and most of the time, you are wearing a golf shirt, or t shirt, and shorts, and flip-flops or athletic shoes, and the humidity is around 14%. Your sweat dries before you know it's there, keeping you cooler.
Course you have to get used to the 115 degree heat, but you can drink as much as your stomach can hold, and you aren't peeing all day long It comes out your skin instead.....and that's a real convenience.

 

well i don't know what you consider us midwest guys...we're neither east nor west and don't affliate ourself as eastern ....we are the in between , best of both worlds i guess......west coast everything is very laid back and slow, i mean slow moving compared to midwest...east coast ie new york very fast and people are edgier (nicer way of putting it) in the midwest we tend to like to get things done timely not to fast or to slow.....the main thing that separates us from the others is our friendliness and that we are true to keeping the community strong, helping our neighbors , looking out for them.....stranded motorist we're there to help , but also not naive either and not afraid do what we gotta do.....another example is someone spills a drink on another person most times there isn't gonna be a fight as long as you buy that person another drink and then we continue on our merry way....as far as weather...nothing beats the four seasons...variety is the spice of life

 

I am afraid to move to the WEST coast, I hear it's all going to fall off one day

 

Me too, when it does I'm going to make a fortune in real estate!

 

to answer the original ?? probably just a higher population figure so it's just gonna happen that way.....are yeah we probably have a little more time because we're not trying to land the next big movie deal

 

 

I think you're asking 2 different questions, now, and I guess the answers are all subjective. If there are more east coast vette owners, maybe it's a sociological question. I was kidding when I mentioned electric cars, but maybe many west coasters find a corvette too much of a gass-guzzling, environmentally-unfriendly beast. It's just a thought.

I live on the E.C. because I grew up here. My friends and family are here and I own a business here. I'd love to visit Cali, but I'd have absolutely no interest in moving there! (and I'm not trying to draw Redwing into a political debate ). As much as I prefer summer, I could argue (for argument's sake) - how could anyone live in an area with only one season? We can still get outdoors in winter, plus there's skiing and other winter sports. It's fun looking forward to those seasonal things you can't do all the time.

I know New Englanders tend to be indoors more in the winter months and when the weather starts to break, everyone heads outside. That might account for more of us being online less in the summer (with the exception of those of us screwing off at work )

While a corvette isn't really a practical car for a climate with 4 seasons, salted roads and snow, I certainly wouldn't move someplace just for better car weather. If I need to drink without peeing, I just go the NASA/Depends route! Don't take me too seriously that's just 1 perspective.

 

One of those in betweeners here in the Midwest MN. I was actualy kinda suprised how many Midwesterners are on the forumn .

 

Just to wiegh in here I'm from Oregon. The GREAT thing is..........no matter where we're from, we all drive the coolest cars on the planet!

 

There's darn sure fewer of us in the "bread basket"!

 

Yall come on down to tornado alley, ya hear!
