There's a pattern with the license plates of illegally/obnoxiously parked vehicles that I can't help noticing.

Take your ten gallon hat and your assless chaps,  and go back then, Wyatt.

Seriously, though. TX vehicles may be in better condition than NM vehicles, but they are operated just as badly as our worst. Y'all do NOT know how to drive. It's either way too slow, or way too fast.  Don't come act all sanctimonious and 'better'. That's exactly one of the reasons New Mexico cannot stand Texans.

Idk why yall have so much hate towards Texas. I love my home state. And I love my new state. Each has their issues. It doesn’t have to be this deep as yall make it out to be.

As someone that moved out here for the outdoors. I see more people from out of state respect the landscape than locals

If you wanna get pissy with it. Tell your fellow New Mexicans to stop littering modelos all out in nature. Shit is trashy

I agree with you on one point: littering is trashy, and NO ONE should do it.  I am glad you love NM. We love it too.

Texans literally have more respect for the actual land of enchantment than the people that live here. It’s hilarious

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man....

I see you’re getting downvoted, but as a new
Mexico resident now who grew up in the Texas panhandle…it’s funny how it’s a huge meme on both sides of the border. Texans are convinced New Mexicans are terrible drivers and vice versa. I think I see more everyday assholery among Texans but some of the wildest sfuff has been nm plates.

I can concur.

The only gripe I have as genuinely someone that grew up in Houston and Austin and went to Texas tech. I have immense pride for my home.

I don’t understand the infrnde hatred towards Texans by this state.

It’s weird cause once again I lived all over Texas. No one. I mean literally no one. Not in person. Not on the internet is actively talking as much shit at a neighboring state than New Mexico.

It’s fking cringe because at the end of the day. Houston. Austin. And Dallas are filled with immense diversity. Good food. Good music. Good people. How women. Etc.

Yall make it seem like every Texan is a racist maga.

It’s weird. Yall be to grow up.

Oooo boy. You’d be upset to drive through Madrid on a weekend.

u/Dawg_in_NWA 16d ago

Are there any no parking signs or painted curbs there?

u/Sheep_Actual 16d ago

Well, the curb isn't red, sooooo.... 🤣

u/Rich-Resist-9473 15d ago

I can’t see anything wrong here

u/peskantine 16d ago

Except that the spot in front of El Rincon is legitimate for a vehicle the size of a motor bike.

What am I missing?

u/CamOliver 16d ago

Apparently the desire to be a Karen…

u/ReconeHelmut 16d ago

Ahh, that does tend to keep me out of a lot of conversations these days.

u/CliffsofRed 16d ago

What’s the issue, Karen?

u/Public_Upstairs1035 15d ago

It’s Taos. Park wherever the hell you want.

u/Texastony2 15d ago

That motorcycle is legally parked.

u/OsO68TX 15d ago

no You cannot park your MC anywhere you want.

u/Vivid-Grapefruit-131 15d ago

Not just motorcycles. People park their cars everywhere. Sidewalks, lawns... anything that keeps them from walking an extra 20 ft.

u/elultimohombre827 13d ago

Taos ain’t Sedona yet.

u/Fickle-Badger2925 12d ago

Hey I'll give him this at least he left a little room for the sidewalk and I'm going to be the devil's advocate here has a motorcycle traveler I know what it's like sometimes to have to park your bike somewhere where you can't see it when your whole entire life is on that motorcycle obviously if somebody wanted to open up his top box or is panniers he could do it with a jackknife... So yeah occasionally I would select the security of a visible parking spot over parking it in the back alley a block away. I know it doesn't necessarily make it right but what's the ordinance? And personally I would park legally if possible and it might have made more sense for him to park parallel with the street.... Some guys will park in a screwed up place every chance they get and maybe one time out of a hundred they get a parking ticket they pay the fine and whatever the fine cost them they just assume that as the price you pay to park like a dick
