I'm with Vasily. Adding a scoop of Mac and Cheese to pork does not a separate cuisine make. It's a truck stop cafeteria.

For a fucking ebombtra with steroid residue.

There I said it .. it’s just a hodge podge of random cultures doing a bunch of random shit. That area is quite a melting pot. Look no further than a loko Moko

THANK YOU

Good updates are good. This is blowing my mind that it’s taking so long to repair.

+1. Time for full reverse to the Defender store.

I'm being a bit facetious. I have sampled the wares of the Islands many times, including Loco Moco, and by and large, eating Hawaiian diner food is FAR BETTER than so called high end dining there, with a few notable exceptions. I have never actually considered it worthy of it's own moniker.......&q...

Wait "Hawaiian" is a cuisine?

Yeah man, there are many variants, most centered around pork or poke bowls.

See above. I agree with you on AZN food, but if a town has a SRS BZNS Chinese population like SF, I'm more apt to give it a shot.

Wait "Hawaiian" is a cuisine? Do you even loco moco, bro? Would definitely suggest trying some Hawaiian food. Maybe there isn’t any in the desert, but SD has a few good spots for it next time you’re out there. There are a few chain places too like L&L’s that you might be able to find ...

maybe just a chill nice dinner or something would be good for her.

Yeah we’re gonna order either Hawaiian or Chinese since she doesn’t want to go out.

That sure does does look clean. I’d slum it in that thing all day. What happened to the silver bullet, you still have it and the blue car? I sold the blue 2006 to my ex brother in law at the same time I liberated the SB from it's Russian oppressor. I have put about 6K miles on the SB, no plans to s...

Might take you up on that but it’ll be a minute. I’m poor until we sell our Philly house. In reality I’d love a $15k wagon. But they don’t really exist.

Good update. How's the ride/overall comfort level? 195/50/19 low rolling resistance tires. It's a bit loud on rough roads (more of a Toyo tire issue, the Michelin's are quieter and I lost the tire lottery on that one). It's nicely isolated from the road, feels fairly stiff and responsive. Steering ...

I would never get rid of the Taco. It was relatively cheap, will not depreciate, and is basically a critical tool in the toolbox of life. Sometimes, you just need to build a carport and buy more cars.

I'm 375 miles into driving the Prius Prime in 5 days. It's rated for 39 miles on a charge (XSE has 19" wheels and loses 3mpg and 5 miles of range over the base car) I charge it overnight at home on a standard 110 outlet and it takes about 9 hours for a full charge. I have a 48 mile commute 1 w...

They drove it 20 miles …

You would have been better off buying a 1976 Jag with 190K miles on it and no maintenance history.

Farmers needs to quit littering the fking TV with ads and start providing a useable policy. In fact, I could consider a max $750 payout on a windshield the depths of the bottom of the barrel.

Preposterous cost I thought HUD were $1500ish but shitty insurance is your problem. Try Safelite. Farmers isn’t exactly bottom of the barrel. Dad called a second dealer and the cost is $2200 there … cost of windshield is $1100 + 900 for calibration and other fees etc What a rape city conundrum. And...

No idea … they asked to not refer to it as a lemon or a buyback. I’m assuming because it’ll kick off a different type of path/proceeding That’s why I’ll get legal advice once an “offer” is in front of me. Weird. Once it's fixed and off to auction it'll likely show as a lemon/buyback on the :fax: . ...

Oh wow all over the place lol. What is the budget? S60/V60 are cool for sure but very expensive. There’s also the BMW 330e which seems pretty cool and is a plug in. Those would likely drive better and handle better than the Accord. If you give up the plug in thought then yeah the S5 is sweet but ev...

That is a good looking Prius. Things I thought I would never say. Same thing. It’s really :notbad: It’s actually surprisingly quick. Seats are great - very similar to the 1st gen FR-S/86 with good bolsters and the synthetic leather is soft to the touch. Standard audio is decent quality. The ride is...

MSRP for my Prime XSE (non premium) was $39073. I got it for $37,900. $4500 lease cash. The premium XSE runs around $43-45k and gets JBL audio, power tailgate, solar roof and surround view cameras. I did a 20k mile/year lease with inception fees ($1400) down and ended up at $490/mo. Sold the Fronti...

That is insane.

Yea there is no free lunch though. Buying anything right now is extra 50% over 3 years ago… so while you make out well on the sale you’re stuck buying in much higher … nothing decent under 20k out there

Hence the reason I am still free for quite some time.

We’re gonna go down to a single car household for a bit. Finally got quotes for our landscaping project, to the tune of $35k. So I’ll offload the Elantra and we’ll just share Michelle’s cx-5 to help pay for that. Should lower our monthly car insurance payment as well, so I’ll stack that money saved...
