17. No New Texans?

Back in the 80's, when the bottom of the economy fell out in the northeast, we Texans got used to seeing lots and lots of vehicles with out-of-state license plates, particularly from Michigan. After awhile, bumper stickers started showing up here: "We Don't CARE How You Do It Up North!"

Thanks for your efforts, EmilyAnne.
