And you're on a forum where a large percentage of the readers have either ditched their cars completely, have a chip on their shoulder about car culture in general, or both.

I became offended with the "Billy beer and General Lee" comments, when I am a 3.7 English major that is going to graduate school for an MA in English. Chances are, unless the guy who said that is an English professor, I will be much more educated than he is. I hate stereotypes of any sort, especially against the South.
