I've driven Atlanta, Mobile and New Orelans back in 1997. My memories include: the rental car guy in Atlanta fitting hubcabs and taking off all the rental stickers as he advised it's best not to look like a tourist down there; getting pulled over by Chips on the freeway and being treated like we'd defiled his mother; New Orleans being fairly threatening and seeing a guy getting shot; and buying a t-shirt in a shop in Mobile called Boo Radleys.

sounds like a laugh then! so telling momma jokes to the cops doesn't go down too well?

great info thanks so far my must do's are ww2 museum, uss Alabama, Avery Island for the Tabasco factory so far but im sure the list will grow.

im thinking i may be better staying away from a flashy car and maybe trying to get a pickup with gun rack and airhorn that plays Dixie
