    My wife is from Bertie County, and I always argue with her on the correct way to say "Conetoe". Then she gets at me about a small township close to my home, "Bahama".

    Not necessarily in that order... but I've been to all.

    How about Dildo, Newfoundland?

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!
