Bought it new in California, the van spent 20 years in upstate NY. It got its fair share of issues, but it's still kicking, at least for another year in 2022. 221K miles on the clock. It's a good day today.

So where is "Upstate NY?" I lived in Rochester and apparently Poughkeepsie is upstate. (insert eyeroll) Lots of different corrosion scenarios from Buffalo to Plattsburgh to Poughkeepsie. Not being a native NY'r I did not realize all coordinates are based on "The City"

I thought anything north of westchester was considered upstate.
Congrats on passing NYSMVI.
Here in ROC, we consider our area Upstate as well. However I call our area, Western NY State. I mean, we are waaaaay closer to the "Falls"(& Canada) than to "The City". I can drive to the FALLS in ~ 1 1/2 hrs. But NYC is ~6 hrs from my house here on Lake Ontario.

You’re definitely **upstate** and yes I’ve heard of Rochester along with buffalo and other areas west of the Hudson as western nys
Down Staters don't consider WNY to be Upstate from my experience. However, it doesn't matter to me. We are who we are!
