It's a pickup issue, not the SUVs.
I don't understand why the Texans are so proud of their state, even though it was it's own nation at one point (I wish it still was). Pride? I saw a bunch of hilljacks waving Confederate Flags and referring to the Civil War as the "The War of Aggression". I saw a bunch racists taunting "n*****s". Hell, do I have to even bring up their judicial system (No buttsex! Yes, there were other states, but it's patehtic to be in the same boat as Utah)? Recently, Texans were trying to get a bill passed to have it legal, get this, to carry concealed weapons into f***ing court rooms. Going places are we?
Oh sure, the first thing foreigners or anyone thinks about the US is Texas hot chicks and cheerleaders. I'm willing to bet they'll say Chicago before any mention of Texas comes up.
But, to give Texas some props, it's still better than Indiana, sans weather.
