LA/SoCal is easily #1. You will see supercars and other interesting cars on a daily basis while you’re sitting in mind-numbing traffic. 😆

How could you drive a sports car in SF? Those city hills would highside any lowered car.

Houston has a pretty strong one, cars and coffee down there is always a good time

Nashville has the same. There is so much money here you can see just about anything on any given day.

DC is anti-car culture

Woke yuppies give you the evil eye for your GHG spewing machine. Oh and your Tesla is poking into the bike lane

I can second NYC having an “interesting” cat culture. Tons of exotics and lowkey cult classic cars.

Cars in a car culture are out of 99.99% people’s reach. That’s why I go to local meets to meet people like me who drive average cars that you see on the streets.

Any big city really…but yeah I guess I have to agree LA/socal if I can only pick one

If we exclude regulatory bullshit, easily California.

Middle TN. Williamson County

Scottsdale AZ is probably second after LA. Dallas also pretty high

Recently, as you probably know, Dr. Seuss's estate chose to stop printing a few of his older books that had offensive racial stereotypes. There was huge backlash from white people, including teachers here, screaming "cancel culture!"

Hi car 🐟

Been looking into 2019 Infiniti QX50, Lincoln MKC, Mazda CX-5, Chevy Equinox, and other similar compact to mid size SUVs but having hard time making the decision.
