God I hated that about the small town in Maryland where I grew up. You couldn't spit without hitting a Grand Am or a Cavalier. And everyone thought they were the most badass cars to ever exist. A brand new Grand Am was regarded as a status symbol, much like a Lexus would be in civilized areas.
There are a lot of neat cars here in Florida. I see Vettes all the time, the occasional Viper, a lot of old restored convertibles, the occasional Ferrari, etc.
The ultimate, though, was when I worked in Northern Virgnia near Tysons Corner. That place was just nuts. I commonly saw Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Porsches, Ferraris, etc. BMWs and Benzes were as common as Fords and Toyotas elsewhere.
