In regards to "Is the answer, masshole?" Close. In the 1960s the correct answer was a Massachusetts driver. In today's world it's not so clean cut as there are a few state competing for the top spot :).
Gotta love Maine folks, many who have more tats than teeth, but always could hold a grudge against massholes though!

Happy to see Pennsylvania taking 2nd best on that chart - may be slow and camp out in the left lane but at least we are too nice to cause major trouble... 😎

In defense of the left lane travelling, a lot of highways in the state lack merge areas for on ramps, or are 2-lanes and too crowded for people to merge on without getting into or staying in the left lane to let them do so

Actually all of the NE states are pretty low on that list

Another reason that a lot of PA people drive in the left lane is because the right lane is all tore up or full or pot holes 6 inches deep. And in regards to the Maine folks comment, not only am I a Mainer living in PA, but an islander to boot! So all you off-islanders....
:p

No excuses for left lane lounging. And PA driver's are second only to Maine driver's with that horrendous habit.

By far the worst drivers in the nation. We have a thing here whereby if we see a MA plate we give a WIDE birth.

They aint called Massholes for nothing.

Aren't you from Jersey? Pot kettle. Friggin jersey drivers.

Deer Isle. Used to ski Gunstock when we lived in the Kittery area, plus Wildcat when the Red Hook brewery ran the buses up and the total price was less than a lift ticket at the slope.

Haven’t been to that one. Spent 5 days on Islesboro in September 2020. Sure didn’t have to worry about crowds 🤣 at that point.

Spent a week staying in Rockport and and mostly Blue Hill this year, exploring the small towns on the coast. That area just blows me away.

My daughter and her family live a little north of the Bangor airport. When come to visit we have to hit Crosby's in Bucksport and then the Bagaduce drive in for clams. Deer Isle is only about a half hour from Blue Hill, just follow Rt 15. Hopefully the bridge hasn't fallen down yet.:ROFLMAO:. That was the big scare when they were deciding where to build the new high school.

Shit, once you mentioned the bridge I realized I did go there this year. We pulled over and took pics of it. I was really taken with Stonington. Seemed like a slice of heaven but of course I’m seeing it through tourist eyes.

Hunter has restricted employee access to ski long before Vail bought them. Not just early but late season.

Not a VailFail only for sure.....

I've looked into Wildcat's schedule this coming season in various ways, and have been unable to get an answer from them. So, I've become pessimistic that they'll be open 7 days/week as they normally are. Hoping against hope, at this point.
