as long as you understand how it effects the car youll be fine.

WHATT!!? where are you from? theres easily 20 inches on the ground here.

In Michigan, we carved a canal between the UP and the LP and built a bridge across it just so it would be easier to tell Yoopers from Trolls.

The way to tell if an area is in upstate or downstate NY should be based on how good the pizza tastes and how closely the area is connected to NYC. Any area with mostly bad pizza and more association with Buffalo, Syracuse or Albany than NYC is upstate. :) 8)
