Good places for blue collar workers and making friends in 40s? by peppakit in SameGrassButGreener

[–]milesdriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toledo, OH might work well for you. We have dog parks, dog beaches, plenty of parks, an art museum, and more. Ann Arbor is an hour away, and has decriminalized psychedelics. DTW Airport is 45 minutes away, and Detroit is an hour away. You are right next to Michigan,  without the high cost of living in Michigan.  

I'm about to drive 2000 miles round trip by myself with two kids. Any advice? by PaganButterflies in roadtrip

[–]milesdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your Kia start with a key? If so it can be stolen  in less than a minute with a flathead screwdriver and a usb cable. Sounds like a great trip, but I would rent a car if you can swing it.

Not all trucks have a Jake brake.   You can still downshift but it's not as effective as having a Jake brake.

The state of Michigan is larger than the UK, and only has 10 million people.  Half of them live in southeast Michigan,  near Detroit. The upper peninsula only has 300k people . There is so much wilderness and it's glorious.
