General Economic chit chat/updates.

I am down with Chipotle. I really don't go to places like Cava, Chipotle, etc. on my own dime but eat them on the road often. I have noticed the price creep, if you get a drink or side, you're definitely coming in a 20 bucks, which is definitely quite the price creep. Amazingly, Taco Bell still off...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Also, S2000 is just way out of my league :doe: I cam sooo close to trading my C5 for one back in like 2017 with a guy in my neighborhood but he backed out at the last minute. At this point, while they're cool, I'd (obviously) rather drop $30K+ on a brand new 86 that has a warranty and outperforms i...

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

Peanut butter is a top tier flavor. One of my main cravings I get is for those peanut butter filled pretzel bites. Goddamn I could eat an entire Costco sized tub of those in a sitting if I wasn’t paying attention. No reason it can’t fit into anyone’s diet.. Just got to be mindful of that 2:1 fat:pr...

Bolt a seatback to the floor and sit on the carpet. Stay positive dude I mean, I did own a Miata and modded it for that, certainly possible. I'm just way more comfy in the 86 :doe: , although I do miss a 'vert/targa sometimes. I think Eric and Brad have the right idea with the BMW 'verts as they ca...

Never eaten pork rinds, but just scoped out a few nutrition labels across brands. Didn’t see that disclaimer, but my only thought is that maybe it’s because the fat content is almost as high as the protein, so you’re getting more fat calories than protein calories :iono: Animal protein should be an...

Not much to get, they're just a worse alternative to chips. One thing I've always wondered though, most rinds from gas stations and such show having a decent protein content on the nutrition facts but then have a disclaimer that it isn't a meaningful protein source. Anyone know what gives? Never ea...

I want one! I put out a lotta watts on the bike but I don’t think I can swing 20 bags of mulch, that’s gotta be 1k pounds (more than the payload of a Tacoma :lolol: ).

The homie failed English class though. What are the forums thoughts on pork rinds? I’m really not a fan. Those pork rinds we had last weekend sucked! My aunt makes homemade ones that are dank! Those were trash! But even good ones I don’t love. I’ll take salt and vinnies please (made of potatoes).

I agree that it would be nice if they were cheaper. I think we all bemoan the days of a decent Tacoma being $30k but that was 15 years ago. I guess time will tell.
