basically everything wolfpacks2k said haha.. i also live in wake county in the raleigh area and only go to durham on occasion, but i know enough about it to offer you insight.
-What are the people like, on average? i guess it's the same anywhere you go, there're good parts of durham and there're bad parts of durham. people are generally nice i guess. there's a lot of people in the raleigh/durham area that are from all over the place though (lots of northerners, including myself), so it's not like the people who live here were all born and raised here. i don't think you'll notice a big difference in people's mannerisms here than where you are.
-How are the drivers? they suck for the most part and a lot of people seem to think they're the only car on the road. i barely see people use their turn signals which is a huge pet peeve of mine. also, when i let people merge who are trying to merge over in front of me, they almost never wave to say thanks.. and i hate that so much haha. maybe those are just two things i'm picky about that wouldn't normally bother people.
-Are there deer everywhere? yes yes yes. they are really bad on backroads, not in the city. especially during mating season (towards the end of the year). i swear they are suicidal. they'll just jump right out like they own the damn place. i've never hit a deer but i've come close and it's scary. like i said they're rare in cities, where theres a lot of traffic and development and street lights, but back roads at night area nightmare where you have nothing but an occasional stop sign and a lot of trees/forest/fields/uncharted area. they'll be everywhere there. you just have to be very alert when driving at night and watching the sides of the road especially if there's a lot of open, undeveloped land around. sometimes there'll be like 30 of the damn things just hanging out and i swear they're waiting for a car to come by so they can all just throw themselves in front of it. crazy ass deer.
-What is the car scene like?
i'd say it's pretty good. like wolfpacks2k said there's the cars & coffee meet on the first saturday of every month in cary (right next to raleigh) that generally has a good turnout. i haven't been in a few months but last time i did there were some sweet cars there. a few ferraris, i think 2 gtrs, and like every corvette in the entire world. i guess it depends on what you like haha. my ex would always bring his 350z nismo and that was the only one in the area that we knew of until like 6 months ago. there's a little bit of everything.
