| Hanger-On Registered: May. 01 | I was born and raised in Bergen County (live in Morris now, Bergen too $$$). People always used to break my balls about Joisey, I just tell 'em that we have NYC about 15 minutes away to the east, mountains/skiing an hour north, and beaches and gambling about 2 hours south. NJ has everything within reach, that's why its so great. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Magus, you brought up a great point...what you see on the main roads in new jersey really isn't what you get...leave the highway and get onto the back roads, and that is where all the great stuff is. And definately check out weird new jersey, a great quarterly mag that has lots of cool places to visit... AIM: SkiT4you First Member of the JWO | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Sep. 00 | My wife & I recently drove from our home in Succasunna through Chester, Peapack-Gladstone, and Bedminster on our way to see my in-law's down the shore in Spring Lake. I defy any rube from Wisconsin to make that drive and have a negative image of Jersey. You have the shore & the mountains. You have proximity to the greatest city in the world and well uh...Philly. You can't beat Jersey with a stick. It's OK if you don't like it. I'm sure there's a stinking dairy farm you could go live on in Wisconsin. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | How Topical :) Basic Rules For Driving In New Jersey... 1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real New Jersey driver never uses them. 2. Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation. 3. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered going with the flow. 4. The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit. 5. Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will inevitably result in you being rear ended. If you want your insurance company to pay for a new rear bumper, come to a complete stop at all stop signs. 6. A right lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line by passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the same jerks to squeeze their way back in before hitting the orange construction barrels. 7. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork New Jersey is a no-fault insurance state and the other guy doesn't have anything to lose. 8. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs. 9. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way to scare people entering the highway. 10. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions and are apparently not enforceable in New Jersey during rush hour. 11. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a New Jersey driver flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot. 12. Please remember that there is no such thing as a shortcut during rush-hour traffic in New Jersey. 13. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire. 14. Learn to swerve abruptly. New Jersey is the home of high-speed slalom driving thanks to the State Highway Department, which puts potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes. 15. It is traditional in New Jersey to honk your horn at cars that don't move the instant the light changes. 16. Never take a green light at face value. Always look right and left before proceeding. 17. Remember that the goal of every New Jersey driver is to get there first, by whatever means necessary. 18. Real New Jersey women drivers can put on pantyhose and apply eye makeup at seventy-five miles per hour or in bumper-to-bumper traffic. 19. Real New Jersey men drivers can remove their girlfriends' panties and bra at seventy-five miles per hour or in bumper-to-bumper traffic. 20. In the New Jersey area flipping someone the bird is considered a polite New Jersey salute. This gesture should always be returned.  This message was edited by spitfire421 on 7-11-01 @ 10:20 AM | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | I was born in New Brunswick... ...Moved to New Mexico for a handful of years... ...even lived in some other places... ...but for some reason I always come back. I doubt I'll be in Jersey much longer ((we'll see)) but for some reason, I think a combination of great friends and great times will always have me coming back again and again. And well, the Devils kick ass too.

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | Ocean County is a bit suspect. I live in Brielle, and if you go over either bridge (route 35 or route 70) It does get a little suspect. Brick in particular reminds of NC where I went to college. Virgin my ass, That girls seen more Pole than an Elevator shaft! | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 01 | I think it's really difficult to try and sell someone on the beauty and/or character of New Jersey if they're not originally from there. What makes New Jersey special is not really easy to put into words. I personally don't care about the negative stereotypes. In fact, I think they're hilarious because they're all true. Except "Joi-zee". Nobody actually says that in NJ. I get that all the time from the San Franciscans, and it gets under my skin. The Turnpike in North Jersey is 14 lanes of post-apocalypic speedway with oil refineries and urban blight surrounding it. So what? New Jersey is crowded, smelly, filthy, and expensive. Yes, there are beautiful parts of NJ, and there is natural beauty in NJ. But you'll have a hard time convincing outsiders that NJ is a great place. So what? Another thing. If you learned how to drive in New Jersey, you are skilled enough to drive anywhere in the country. New Jersey has the most fucked up traffic patterns ever designed by man. I miss New Jersey terribly. But while it's hard to get out of NJ, it's even harder to leave California once you're here.  Opie & Anthony Express West Coast Dave | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | I look to a great quote from Jon Bon Jovi in a newspaper interview years ago: "Let them make their jokes [about New Jersey]. Don't ever tell them how beautiful it is here."
