I've been to Florida, and I've never seen a jacked up truck with a rebel flag there. Then again, I've never been to Jacksonville.

 

you will see that kind of stuff in central Fl where you have to take back roads to the small town instead of the interstate.

 

ive been to south carolina before and i never saw one house, everyone lived in trailers, the smallest vehicle i saw was a ford ranger, the rebel flag was almost as common as air, i dont think there was a single blade of grass anywhere and john deere replaced toyota's completely. it was fun, but a bit of advice... moonshine BURNS!!! beware of that ****[8D]
