They would stop me because I don't look like I belong in a car like that has been my past experience. They sure have asked a lot of personal questions before letting me go
I got the car and lots of cash from hard work not drug dealing.

They the rural people are rarely what I would call friendly compared to people in other countries or in more diverse locations. May not be openly friendly or smiling is just not their way but whatever just leave them be so I won't be talking to them at all really
Now that I am older I do not take my family to areas like that because they don't need the hassles or poor service
