According to the test, I have a Midland (i.e. no accent). I guess all those years of living in AZ cured me of my Boston accent (and 5 years in southern FL). I am sure i definitely sound like someone from the northeast, but I do pronounce my "r's" although it is still not natural. When i used to yell at my kids, I would lose all vocal control and scream "get ovah heah!" to everyone's amusement...

Once when I was in college in Colorado, an tourist came up to me on the street and asked where the nearest "pack" was so his kids could play. I was a bit confused and asked him to repeat what he was saying a couple times. I was about to give him directions to the North Face store for backpacks when I figured out he meant "park". That was probably my first experience with a Boston accent.
