Listen, I came up here with an air of superiority to myself. "I learned to drive in Atlanta, you got nothing on me!"

It took one green plate speed demon passing me on slush to be immediately humbled.

You got this!
Nah, a lot of people come here from cities thinking we're slow hillbillies for how we drive, and very confidently zoom straight off the road. As long as nobody dies, we kiiiind of think it's hilarious. Deer and black ice come out of NOWHERE up here.
ETA one time in high school my friends and I were taking it slow on the highway in winter when a Mass plate shot by with a middle finger up. Three miles later they had a car full of high schoolers laughing and waving at them as we went by them sitting in the ditch.

I moved here 2 years ago from Florida. I’ve always been into punk/hardcore/metal so I started seeking out shows/bands in the state and was absolutely delighted to find out that VT hardcore is commonly referred to as “Maple Violence” as a genre and I’ve never been more in love with a two word phrase.

New Hampshire has a politician named Vermin Supreme.

Maple Scented Insanity should run for Governor of Vermont!

They really are. They're trash and I forget other states have them everywhere until I venture across state lines. Instant trash.
