Hey peeps, I'm back from the province.

Before anything else, @Rich: I uninstalled Netscape from my PC and my TGC account works again.

Ok, so instead of swimming with the rest of the family, I stuck with drawing in my laptop. Anyway, that's not the story. The thing is, in a gas station on our way back from the province, we saw that our van's front-right hubcap was missing, and the wheel had a terrible dent. The rear-right hubcap was a little loose, but still intact. We suspected that the hubcap was stolen by some desperate provincians who needed quick cash, so they took what they could from the van - the hubcap. Oh well, stupid story. I might post a picture of it tomorrow.

Peeps who live in the province, or native to the province. I don't think the word exists in Encarta, but I doubt if there are rural places in the US so the dev team probably don't know the word. Anyway, those people are really poor, they don't even have phone lines, so no internet either.

You have a PC, I guess that means you don't count... Province as in really poor people who can't even afford their own crops to plant in the mud...that kind of province. I've never heard of a provincian who has...DBP, or Photoshop, even.

Maybe I just don't know what kind of province you are talking about.
We have phonelines here. And internet. And everything else too. It's Ontario, probably a different kind of province.

Hes talking about people who live in the provinces, dont use modern technology, poor. These provinces tend to be lowly populated.

I live in a terrible country... Even the alleys up there sound like they match with the urban regions down here... Here, a province means 95% rice fields, 4% roads, 1% houses in good condition.

Those freaks stole a fricking hubcap!!! Hubcaps don't just fall off a HiAce without leaving a suspicious dent in the wheel!!!

I have a few co-worker from there, there is a large Philippine community growing in our city (if you can imagine anything beside cowpokes in the middle of South Dakota), in fact a friend of mine sayes that a guy renting from him is the son of a famous Actress there. I've also heard you can get stuff stuff there cheap, like medicine. The same friend's wife brought back some for a quarter of the America price when she last visted her family.

Yeah, were a growing minority in the US. Partially because of the US's shortage of nurses. So theyre getting the nurses from us. Partially because they just want to move here .

Cheap? First time anyone ever said that stuff down here is cheap. the only cheap things here are:

pirated PC games (around US$ 2.00 per CD)
pirated PS2 games (US$ 2.00 each, lol)
anything else "fake"

LOL I told you this was a dump. PC stuff are really pricey here though. The P4 3.2Ghz costs around US$ 500.00 here...

Edit: @dgamer5000, ever heard of the APL Song by Black Eyed Peas? Yeah, look for it, lol.

That's just the processor, on it's own. You have to buy the rest separately. $2000 is almost an Alienware already, so that's impossible.

Btw, I'm worried about the hubcap. how much does it cost to replace one anyway? Are they really $500 like in GT3?

The fancy ones are, maybe more. Shouldn't cost to much just to get a regular one though.
