Now now, We don't want to offend any of our Utah brothren by makin a derogatory religious statement. Whatever anyones practice is, is besides the point. It's plain and simple, in Utah county, you will run into more judgemental people than in Salt Lake and Davis counties. My wife works with several people of this type. I've lived in both places for many years, and I'd much rather raise a family up north. Just my 2 shillings!
Okay, I had a bunch typed, but it was dumb, in short: I have nothing against LDS people at all, or even the religion. Just against the way some of the people down there (namely most of the BYU students I ran into/hung out with) practice it, and preach it. If I offended anyone, don't be offended, clearly no one on here is that type of LDS person.

Yeah I wasn't trying to bomb on you and I knew you weren't trying to be rude bud. I just wanted to make sure no one else got the wrong idea or felt like their beliefs were being attacked. It's all good in the hizzy for shizzy! Oh, and I'm getting my tune in 255 minutes, or 15300 seconds, just to be clear.

No offense taken Jake. I call those type of people Utah mormons, as it seems that attitude is more prevalent in UT then in the rest of the church.

I still know what you did last summer is a classic! If you do not own this epic thriller, you are wrong! (the taste of throw-up accompanies that statement)

Haha, Utah Mormons. Good one Jeremy, are you comin to the bbq? You can park in the "ex-Evo" crowd with me! That attitude is definitely more prevalent in Utah than out of state/out of country (that's right, I've met a few European, Mexican, and even some African LDS follks) are all awesome and definitely don't try to push anything on you.

I still know you need a tune!!! Go throw up Evan, it makes you feel better when you're sick

Probably not as I would feel like a loser since my cars are so crappy now I did sell my Accord though, and bought a 2001 Subaru 2.5 RS.

When I lived in Nebraska the attitude of other LDS members was so different as most of them are converts to the church and not born and raised LDS. The attitude that some give off does not help the church in any way, so that is why I do not force my religion on anyone. Most people probably would not even know that I was LDS (unless they asked my why i do not attend Sunday autox and track events).

I call them Utahrds. Seems to fit nice. You just have to find people in Utah county (LDS or non-LDS) that you get along with. Everyone else with the heads up their butts can just leave them there. They don't bother me.

And Jake I know what you mean about the BYU students. I'm there 3 times a week for classes (getting my masters) and want to kick 90% of the students in the *****. (the other 10% are cool)

A 2001 Subaru 2.5 RS is not a loser car especially not with an avid autocrosser behind the wheel

*sigh* ya ... When I was dating a gal from up in Oregon (going through Boise regularily) I found "Mormons" (and non-Mormons) up there much more enjoyable to hang around. The sad part is I am "Mormon" but go to Church for much higher priority reasons than a weekly social dress-up event. So I feel the pressure from both sides.
Just because I own an EVO VIII (thanks bullfrg for that clutch, haven't needed it yet, but getting close 40k on the clock with the orig. w00t!) I'm automatically labeled as a rebel and menace.
Couple that with a Triumph Sport Touring bike (Tiger) and a dirt bike, and I'm the next devil in the making. However it does help me filter out the social nitwits a lot faster than before, which ultimately makes finding true friends faster and easier.

Hey Evan,
Were you over helping Nate change out his turbo and cams last night? I drove by the shop and I saw a naked BBY parked there. Figured it was you.
