my fiance's grandparents live right by you! im like a half hour
Didn't realize so many of your guys were from Jersey!! Im in TR exit 82 off the parkway
Lets see.. In New Jersey I have:
3 Tracks within 1.5 hrs of my house, 2 within 45 mins(Island, Atco, Englishtown)
Beach(For those of you in landlocked states, trust me, it's fun)
A golf course and a horse farm right down the street.
Ahhh.. What am I bothering for..
I have the turnpike 4 minutes from my house, hence it must look like the beginning of the sopranos.
I don't even like Jersey that much, but when you live here, the Jersey pride comes automatically. It sucks in alot of ways but 99% of the people in this country dont realize that less than 10% of the state could even remotely be considered "septic system" worthy, and that ignorance will always cause me to get defensive about where I live. There may be alot wrong with this state, but I do like my area.
I have 3 farms on my road alone. I have one neighbor and a huge lake across the street. The nearest freeway is I-84 and its 15 minutes away, the Turnpike and Parkway are over 40 minutes away. 2 of the largest state parks in the state are in neighboring towns. You can't go very far in the summer without smelling cow manure. My county hosts the NJ State Fair, which in actuality is the Sussex County Farm & Horse Show...agriculture and horticulture with some equine stuff and with a carnival/vendors on the end. The nearest mall is almost 40 minutes away. This is about what 75% of my entire county looks like, save for a few sprawling towns:

I'd have to drive 15-20 mins for that.. That looks like when I lived in hillsborough. I see you failed inspection.
We also include road rage in our driver's ed training here.
It "is" very diverse. You have Mts, beaches, and Manhattan all within a few hours of each other. I love the Manhattan part, but ever go into the mts? Theres swarms of biting bugs pestering you, poison ivy all over the place and deer tics just WAITIN to give you lyme disease!
Ever gone for a hike in Colorado? How about the PNW?? (PDX) None of these things.
And the beaches in jersey are dirty and over crowded. Like I said. Its L>I> 25 years ago!
A heads up for the NJ people. I just got this in my email.
NJ is starting up a 30 day speeding ticket rally. From what I hear, every trooper assigned to this has to hand out 1 ticket every 10 to 20 minutes. They will be focusing in and around this area so watch out.
Here's what a New JerseyState trooper sent:
Starting today, New Jersey will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy.
The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers' overtime. There will 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways. They are the following:
I-295 north and south
1-95 (Jersey Turnpike) north and south 1-80 east and west
I-287 north and south
I-78 east and west
1-195 east and west
1-280 east and west
Rt. 130 north and south
Garden State Parkway north and south
I'm warning everyone now that 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write
a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and are bringing in all of their part timers on full time. If you work in NJ, NY, DE or CT you will probably take one of these highways. It's up to you how fast you are going when they clock you.
101.5 FM confirmed all of this. So be safe and don't forget speeding tickets are on you. You've been warned." Then the same friend, emailed me the following:
Driving Ticket fine increase in NJ:
Starting on August 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of NJ Law39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license, registration, or insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from $44.00 to $173.00. Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in them.
If you jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet with your license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well... you just spent $173. And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!!
Forward to people in NJ, and let them know of this change. And be careful, the fine for hand held cell phone use while driving will be going up to $180.00.
I now officially retract my statement. I hate you, New Jersey. Go straight to hell, you and your money-grubbing government
