Random Things I Notice About Michigan

Here's my list of observations about Michigan:

1) Cars are dirty here...like an abnormal percentage are covered in dirt over halfway up the car. It turns out that many people live on dirt roads, which is bizarre to me since all the roads surrounding the area are paved. Car washes seem to be a big business here, but it seems like most people really don't care if their car is dirty since there's no point in trying to keep it clean.

2) There are a lot of weird pronunciations. Mackinac is "Mak-i-naw", the ice cream place Sanders is pronounced like "Saunders", and there's a store that's like a Walmart which is spelled Meijer but it's pronounced like "Meyer".

3) I knew Michigan people love cars, but wow, there are a lot of car dealerships everywhere. We drove through towns where there was nothing but fast food restaurants and truck stops...and there would be multiple gargantuan car dealerships.

4) Michigan people love American cars. I'd say a good 90+% of cars are Ford, GMC, Buick, or Pontiacs. Funny that they still love cars. Haha.

5) There is a thing called a "Michigan left" where there are two roads, say one going left and the other going right. There is a middle intersection thing but you can't turn left there. You have to make a right to go make a left, stop at a curved stoplight, and continue making the left/U-turn to go left on the original road.
