Why are we better than everyone else?

Because we are the birthplace of American car culture?

Okay, enjoy your potholes and rust.

When in reality it's a hot, dusty steppe full of beaners and oil yokels with Houston acting as the state's nigger containment zone, only Dallas actually creating value and earning its wealth, and everyone else in a delusional daydream about self importance and state importance and obsessed with waving their dick around when Texas' legislation actually only does an average job respecting personal liberties. Mindset wise Texas would be the Faggotfornia of the south if it had a few more nannies.

Only things Michigan has going for it:
No inspections or emissions testing and no front plates required. Granted Northern Michigan and the UP are pretty nice to visit, and the Lake Michigan lakeshore is beautiful until the tourists from Chicago clog up all the roads.

God you people are insufferable retarded faggots.

>>14497086
It minimizes conflicting movements by removing the cycle for left turning traffic.

I'm not sure if any research has been carried out on throughput.

>>14497105
If the Michigan Left is so brilliant, how come THE REST OF THE FUCKING WORLD manages to turn left without kill themselves every single time?

>>14497111
Because the rest of the world still uses diamond interchanges for every highway exit, whereas North America uses more elegant solutions like SPUIs, parclos and DDI's.

>>14497105
So instead of pulling out into traffic once, you now have to do it THREE times? You're tripling your chances of crashing. It might make sense if the fuckers would time the lights appropriately, but they dont. They time it so you catch a red light at every intersection.

Also, why do you have to drive a fucking quarter of a mile for the u turn? In the name of saving a meager light cycle you have drivers drive a half mile out of their way, wasting time and polluting the atmosphere more so in the process (yes, I'll play that card).

The idea is fucking stupid.

>>14497138
Germany uses two quadrant parclos (aka folded diamonds) for the majority of highway exits, also all that shit is fucking retarded compared to roundabout interchanges.

>>14497188
You mean like in Britain? Those are horrible inflexible pieces of shit that are hard to upgrade without ripping the whole thing out.

>>14495452
>Commiefornia
>Detoilet shitigan
Both of your states are part of the bottom 5

>>14497197
What the fuck is there to upgrade about an interchange? Why can't your road planning think ahead in the first place?

>>14497221
Most interchanges were designed long ago when traffic was lighter, Germany is for instance filled with cloverleafs opened by Adolf Hitler himself.

Combined with government never thinking ahead and always wanting to save money.

That's why it would make a good tourist attraction, not a good state. Cheap means undesirable. California has all of that, except for the part where it's not a low rent whore. Also

Must be why it relies on federal welfare to survive.

We do have state tax, maybe try to figure out wtf you're talking about before you just spew nonsense. Also, the state had a half a billion dollar surplus last year so your welfare claim is bogus as well.

So...why don't you take a flying fuck on a rolling donut?

e85 galore
no inspections or front plate
state is beautiful and offers a little bit of everything

no one cares about flint or detroit so not even worth bringing it up.

Also
You have a surplus, but you still depend on federal funds way more than we do.

California is the 6th least dependent, you guys are 7th when compared to tax rate, and 24th when compared to GDP.

yeah, no. Our roads suck, everything's gone to shit, and we've only got a handful of decent tracks.

You degenerate worthless fucks are the scum of the earth and entirely responsible for the term "millenial" having a negative connotation.

>>14501569
Yes I do.

What does any of this retarded bickering have to do with cars?
Michigan has more automotive history than any other state in the union. Winter sucks for the car scene (except for the international auto show and autorama), but in the summer there are bad ass rides literally fucking everywhere and car shows every weekend. Regardless of the shitty things you can say (or make up) about michigan, the car culture here is fucking awesome.

>>14501640

Problem is everything beyond that, and don't fool yourself thinking that other, nicer places lack the culture we do. Things definitely could be better, but they're not the absolute worst.
