After a week here in Sumter I can already say without a doubt people up here are way more polite and friendly than they are in central Florida even if they all do sound like they're from Mayberry RFD
In traffic I'm shocked at the number of turn signals I see being used, and by people letting other cars merge and pass without being jackasses about it, nobody rides anybody's bumper, etc . . . it's been a great experience driving in this area so far!
At stores the workers and even customers are all helpful and polite, my new neighbors all wave and say hi, it's all going to take some getting used to while I de-program Florida out of my system
And my Maverick gets over 40 mpg in this area even with my commute to Camden! I think the truck even likes it here
