That's funny, Fort Collins is about as far from rural as you're gonna
get. It's just a 'burb of Denver.

Only someone from Montana would call a city over an hour's drive from
another city, and with plenty of open space between, a "suburb" of that
other city.

That said, certainly there's nothing about Fort Collins that supports the
"you have to learn to drive a tractor" comment. I find it hard to believe
that anyone who actually knew anything about Fort Collins would say that,
never mind everyone. My impression of Fort Collins, from my several visits
there, is that it's part college town, part tech industry town, with a bit
of left-over frontier West mentality. Mostly, it's pretty much like any
other medium-sized city I've seen, and there's definitely not a lot of
places to drive a tractor, not in the city anyway.
