Talk:Michigan
From Wikitravel
To 65.23.83.42, Sorry about the reversion. I was trying to deal with another vandal and a section that you were working on that seemed to have a lot of info removed. Thanks for all the work put into this page. -- Brendio 20:00, 20 Jan 2006 (EST)
- Yes, good information... albeit suffering from the common Detroit-area misconception that the the state only extends as far west and north as Jackson and Flint (e.g. listing Lansing's airfield but not G.R.Ford International). I'm working to correct that. - Todd VerBeek 10:20, 9 April 2006 (EDT)
[edit] Regions
Is it possible to change Western Michigan to West Michigan? I tried making the change but learned it needs to be discussed first, sorry about that.
Would it perhaps make sense to split Southeast Michigan into Southeast Michigan and Flint/Tri-cities? I'm planning to make a Michigan regions map, and the one I'm looking at right now is this one. Thoughts? --Peter Talk 22:11, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
- Also, I'm not sure of which counties belong in the other lower peninsula regions. Does the map I linked above get that right? --Peter Talk 22:15, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Foreign cars
There seem to be disagreement about this paragraph: "If you are renting a car, it is suggested that you rent an American car to avoid offending anyone." I've reverted a removal as i have first hand account of someone getting in trouble. Sertmann 14:13, 12 November 2008 (EST)
- People really get pissed about that? Don't Americans like German, Italian, and Japanese cars? What about Toyota and Hyundai or Daimler? Keep smiling, ee talk 14:17, 12 November 2008 (EST).
- Yeah, my friend were driving a Hyundai as far as I remember (not sure if there is something special with Korean cars). Guess a Daimler (whatever that is) would be OK, since it's the same owner as Chrysler - and i guess it's mainly in Detroit and surroundings. Sertmann 14:32, 12 November 2008 (EST)
- That is so wierd. I don't get that and I've never seen it the times I've been in the US. That is so odd! We definitely don't have that problem in Canada. Hrrrm...that is just cruel and pretty dumb ,why would people be like that? It's retarded-no offense Americans though I'm sure that most of yeh on here don't do that. But wow. Don't Americans like Porsche and Lexus-don't they crave foreign vehicles-I mean it's on their TV lots. Keep smiling, ee talk 14:51, 12 November 2008 (EST).
- You're not getting it, it's not Americans, it's the 10.000's of laid of auto workers, their relatives, and remaining colleagues from the auto industry in Detroit, that takes offense. Sertmann 14:53, 12 November 2008 (EST)
