west end of the state or east? If east it doesn't look too much out of my way to chicago.

Fred.

most of the wpa nogs are 30min from i80, there is at least one 10min from it in sharon PA though

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

I can see, most of my friends who have boats are out of state for college, but I can ask around if you're up for it.

Fall is sailfish weather.

That is one species I haven't ever caught and would love to slay!

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 :-)

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.

I'm a geek so I understand owning a few pairs of pants and some tshirts, and not giving a fuck.

nice meeting you fred.
cool guy.
he got to witness how slow my boosted corolla is and how homemade it is.

good luck with the rest of the trip. wish i coulda gone to the salt flats.
i got another few years here in utah and will probably never make it out there.
too bad isnt it.

fe3tcourier · « **Reply #73 on:** September 25, 2009, 02:08:23 AM »

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... :-)

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 :-)

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.

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

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...

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).

Fred.

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 :-)
