In particular, I have a good feel for this smiley now : :mexi:
I've been in the USA for about 2.5 weeks now, all in Cali so far and in many ways I quite like it, but I understand the mexican references in a fairly thorough way now :-) Today I had my first feed of Wendy's in 2.5 years - it sucked, possibly because of the ethnicity of the staff at that branch!
Anyway, I'm in San Diego now, and heading east to the other side in my new (old) car pretty soon. If any of you bastards feel like meeting that weird argumentative kiwi (and don't want to break my knees) flick me a pm with an address and I'll see if I can find some time to swing past for a beer/wine/feed/whatever.
current plan is something like :
sd
pheonix
slc
denver
somewhere along the i80
chicago
niagra falls/canada border
nyc
maybe north of there for a day or two
new jersey
baltimore
nashville
atlanta
florida
atlanta ditch car for sale
fly to la
fly home to nz for some HMT burrnout goodness :-)
Also, in-n-out fucking rocks, fast food as it always should be, cheap and good quality! Epic win there.

When you're near the east coast, hit up a '5 guys' (burgers & fries) They're the shit.
-
I'm hungry now (for a double bacon burger)
-
Damn i must be teh only dude on earth that was totaly not impressed with 5 guys burgers.
I want a delicious burger that i can not cook at home and 5 guys is sorta like heres a patty we cook it and give it to you on bread. thats it. Whataburger never did anything for me either soley for that reason.
-
I'm 3.5 hours north of Atlanta, hit me up with a little forewarning and I'll introduce you to the local microbrews.
-
Let me know if you make it to th PNW and ill introduce you to my foot in yiour clam you bloody poof!!!!
Heres a smiley I KNOW you know

Thanks for the tip, I'll be missing in-n-out pretty quickly :-( I was planning to try to do the trip on burger, fries, shake and half a bottle of wine a day until I found out it was west coast only.

Hey, I like a fancy burger with mango and avacado and christ knows what else on it as much as the next prick, but sometimes you just want some good simple cheap food that isn't shit. in-n-out isn't spectacular, it's just simple good food. They go to the extent of growing their own :
cows
tomatoes
lettuce
potatoes
onion
etc.
The beef is less than 7 days dead with no fucking steroids etc. The spuds are peeled and pressed into chips on site while you watch. The staff are paid a bit extra and are friendly and helpful and are yet to screw up my order in the slightest.
I'm 3.5 hours north of Atlanta, hit me up with a little forewarning and I'll introduce you to the local microbrews.
Cool, I'll be at Atlanta for the longest time out of what is left. The only place I *may* stay longer is Pheonix because FreeEMS is going into my Volvo there :-) (hopefully, and fuel only, but still, should be a bit of an occasion for celebration)
Let me know if you make it to th PNW and ill introduce you to my foot in yiour clam you bloody poof!!!!
I probably won't be up in that corner on this trip, but the whole road trip thing is going so well that I can see myself taking a 3 month break in a few years and doing it again in a better car :-)
Fred.

There's a better car than a Volvo? I call bullshit.

+1. Also, you may enjoy the less-than-legal beverages as well.

Hrm, I do think Fred coming to town would be a good reason to acquire some untaxed liquor.
-
we have 5 guys in WI
-
5 Guys is damn good.
Yeah, it's just a simple patty and burger, but it costs about the same as fast food and is 10x better.
The french fries are actually made there (you'll see boxes of potatoes stacked around the place), the patties aren't machine made cheap beef frozen shit you get from fast food...fuck, the jalepenos are even fresh, green, and crispy.
Fuck yes :yes:
Enjoy the USA.

5 guys sucks. fries melting through a styrofoam cup and every order (regardless if your eating there or taking out) in a brown paper bag ftl. the best burgers won't be at a chain. i promise you

Don't think anyone claimed they're the best...but please tell me what chain of their size serves burgers anywhere near as good for the price. Sure, ma' & pop places can make better burgers, but they're rarely as convenient :P
Whining about a brown paper bag? WTF? Do you need a colorful McDonald's one with pictures and puzzle games on it?
I buy food for the flavor. Don't give a fuck what kind of bag it comes in.

+1. It's amazing that people judge shit by the bag or box. Especially when we're talking about cheap and good shit.
-
Also, the less money they spend on marketing and colorful boxes/bags, the cheaper they can feed me.
I'm fine with that, and personally prefer a fresh greasy burger in aluminum foil and fries in a styrofoam cup to crap that's been under a light for an hour in pretty packaging :P They're a large enough chain, a long time ago, that they could have switched to more appealing wrappers...but the cheap paper bag makes me feel somewhat like I'm at a local eatery and not at a franchise that's on every street in the country.
Would never claim they're the best. Most people on here can probably cook a better one, but for a place I can quickly get to and spend $6-8 dollars on a quick meal -- fuck anyone else.

Five Guys > In n Out
I've never eaten at a Five Guys, but I'm going to agree wholeheartedly.
When I had flown back home from FL, my buddy decided to make a surprise road trip to Cali JUST for In n Out Burger.
Worst 30 hours ever fucking spent on the road. Seriously, it wasn't good at all. I'd rather eat at McD's. We made sure we went to a major traffic one in San Fran too.
When I first drove into Atl, I met up with a guy from another forum and he showed me around town and we ended up going to Five Guys since I told him I wanted to eat a good burger from his side of the Country. I was not disappointed. They even have peanuts you can snack on while you wait.

Five Guys > In n Out
Well, I sure hope you are right, and if you are, I'll be snapping a timer pic of myself in front of one of those bastards too! :-)
I've got to warn you guys, I am the pussy fucking panzy wanker you all thought - I drink wine.
I rarely drink beer (though it's a good refresher when you are hot) and I don't drink spirits, mostly because I'd probably just throw up! One day I may drink some of my old mans fine whiskeys but not quite yet.
The good news is that I bought so much fine spanish wine the other day (400usd/17 bottles) that there may be some left when I get that far LOL. I just love that shit. I have some pics, maybe later.
About the better than volvo car : It could just be a volvo with "stick" + boost + twin cam + sway bars + shocks + stiffer ( but not lower) springs. It's a pretty nice car, but heavy and fucking slow. I had it slightly sideways on some gravel (need to do that again properly and with vid) and I did a run up and down mulholland drive pretty quickly (quickly for a bag of jelly) - twice. It'll do the trick, but it IS slow.
Fred.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, I ROFLed the whole way down this thread with all the fast food argument, epic, keep it up :-)

You fail as an alcoholic, but you get bonus points as a wino. Do you like Italian wines? I can obtain some Amarone/ripasso or suchlike and we can discuss the cultural merits of the respective tipple.
-
I stayed 3 days with a very wealthy man at Venice beach the other day and he took me to dinner at a very nice Italian place, the wine was superb, better than any of the spanish stuff I usually drink, but probably cost about the same per glass as I pay per bottle. So yes, treat me to some nice smooth italian wine and i'll bring the spanish stuff :-)
I usually drink the Campo Viejo Reserva and Gran Reserva and the Marques De Riscal Reserva - they are all consistently good and in the 16 - 21 buck range. Tonight I have one called Roda that is usually 60 bucks a bottle but on special at 25, should be nice, can't wait.
I haven't found a cali wine to match them, yet. not for a comparable price anyway, and I'll be fucked if i'll spend more than about 30us on one.
I deserve my bonus prize as a wino, the last 10 days in england I drank every night, mostly wine. then i drank again the first night in spain, 11 days straight. Now I have enough wine to kill me 3 times or more just sitting in the car :-)

It'll be the arse end of October unfortunately, Florida is the last stop before dropping the car in Atlanta to be sold and flying back to LA so I can fly back to NZ :-)
Tell me that you'll take me fishing instead, that sounds like fun! :-) It's been literally years since I caught anything decent, years since I caught anything at all!!

Yeah, but aside from Tim or 79Fairmont, there's no point in visiting any of them.

I walked into my first 5 guys here in Salt Lake City yesterday arvo wearing an in-n-out T shirt and got myself a burger and fries. The manager/owner rocked up part way through the order and said something like "Nice shirt, but I don't know about in-n-out, if I give you this, [5 guys T shirt] will you wear it?" and pushed a 5 guys T shirt across the counter at me - "Yes, of course! :-)" so now I have two shirts, I wonder how many 5 guys shirts I can get by repeating the experiment across the east coast?
Summary of in-n-out vs. 5 guys is:
They are different things catering to different people and needs.
The 5 guys burger is a better burger, a real burger, and priced accordingly, whereas the in-n-out burger is "fast food done right" - ie, it doesn't suck, but isn't spectacular. Someone that posted above already said something like this though.
I'll be getting some 5 guys burgers in future for sure, but I'll still love in-n-out for what it is.
Other points of interest :
5 guys fries only come in "way too much for one dude" size (at the smallest)
5 guys have no shakes
That is about all I have to say on the matter till I post the somewhat staged pics :-)
Fred.

Verdict is in.
It's good shit!

When do you plan on coming to Nashville? I live real close.
-
You now own two shirts? Congradulations! How does it feel to be in an affluent country like America where we commonly give out free clothes to homeless-looking people?

Nashville, mid October if at all? I think I will though because I'll have to stop somewhere to sleep on my way down that side.

You have no idea how close to the truth you are! LOL I haven't shaved in months and haven't trimmed the stubble/beard in a week. This is also the longest that I haven't had a hair cut since I was a teenager! :-)
OK, fuck it, 3am, but gunna find a few pics to post up...
Give me a minute.

Tick tock tick tock.

LOL, thanks man! I like your car, it's sweet. Once you iron out the little shit it will be mean!
PS, still outside your house stealing your neighbours internet to post this ROFL Hmmm, maybe i could sleep in the ae86 instead? mu ha ha ha
You should just go out there one weekend day and do it, it's only 1.5 hours each way and a tank of gas. Good fun :-)
And yes, seen the worlds fastest indian :-) My volvo is entirely un-homemade though, BUT, I did max it out at 100mph and 6000rpm in 3rd gear on the Bonneville salt flats today!! :-) :-D If only it had a manual trans and holset... :-)

Maybe you can aquire those on your way east, and top out your volvo over here at the Maxton mile...

Thanks, PM sent.
Hey let me know if you head a bit south of i80. Such as along I70, through Kansas. It be good to meet you.
Fred.
Sorry forgot I made this post lol. Was kinda buzzed. Its Salina, intersection of I135 and I70 if you haven't already made it past.
west end of the state or east? If east it doesn't look too much out of my way to chicago.

So, if I show up in Salina tomorrow night do I have a couch/floor/bed there or what? :-) Can you send me a phone number and/or address by pm here or on my board or by email? Spot you then if you get your shit together on time and let me know.

the fries always taste fresh/not-frozen, the hamburgers are also fresh tasting with bread that has less sugar in it than a refinery, there is always a 1+ min wait to order, then they gotta make your shit which takes only a few minutes.
shit, del taco hamburgers are mexican because they are a taco place.
Fixed ;-)
Seriously, I only had to wait more than a few seconds in the San Fran branch. The fries taste different to mcds because they are not thrown in frozen - this is a good thing in my eyes.
Don't worry, you didn't miss much :-)
Fred.

i didn't read the whole thread, but i wish i knew you were in sd. would have gone out to lunch with ya or something.
oh and in and out sucks major ass.
the fries always taste old/stale, the hamburgers are just normal tasting, there is always a 15+ min wait to order, then they gotta make your shit which takes fucking forever.
shit, del taco hamburgers are 100 times better and they are a taco place.
thats nut sac-religous.... ban this man.
i love in-n-out

What's left on your journey?
-
Left is Chicago, NYC, east coast and all the bits in between.
Fred.

niagara falls? I'll be up there the weekend of the 16th, not sure how much time I'll have. Mighty Taco (super mighty), John's Pizza and Subs (chicken finger sub), Anchor Bar (wings), Swistons (beef on 'weck). those are all you need to know for food
I'm 2 hours south of Atlanta right now, if you pass through this way. My friend's butcher shop is about the best this shithole has to offer
-
niagra falls blows
US side, I agree but there is a casino now.
I spent the first 18 years of my life living on the porkchop shaped island about 2 miles upstream of the falls itself. I love it up there, just wish there was better employment. There's always something to do...

you have to know your way around.

Hello all.
I'm in NYC right now, if you're significantly west of here, possibly except LA and SD then I've missed you. If you are down the east coast and posted or pmed that you want to meet up, put up a reminder of roughly where you are etc.
I'm having trouble keeping track of the dozens of offers and have missed dozens of people already (more offers than days to take them up LOL). Help me not miss more.
By the time I make it down to atlanta etc I'll have the volvo running fuel only FreeEMS, it sorta ran already, shhhh, but I've fixed some code since then and almost have it sweet. Videos to be posted around the place when I'm happy with how it works (in a very basic way).

I'm right off of 95 in northern Virginia just outside of DC

Fred farted on my couch.

Fred farted on my free couch.
Corrected for relevance to the quality/value of the couch.

Lies! And even though you're bloody lying, you bastard, I'll come right out and say it :
You're a good bastard! :-) Thanks for having me JD/Robb! I had a nice time there sipping red wine like the "Australian"/"British" panzy that I am ;-)
Thanks for the tools this morning, sorry about nearly stealing them, woops! :-/
It was nice to meet JD in person, so different to the online version :-)
Fred.

Fuck your mom Fredrica :-* :-* :-* :-*

You're most welcome to, would you like her number? Address?
-

30.0 - 23.5
