That’s a weird autocorrect from Turo Cayman.
:iswydt: :megusta:

I get the SUV thing for going to the woods :doe:

I went way over on miles in the Cayman S I Turo'd in Las Vegas driving up to Zion and hooning at Charleston Peak and the dude was like "as long as you had fun, don't worry about the mileage charge".

I grew up going there every summer. I love the area. We would stay in Duck, NC.

Weather suggests it'll be rainy and overcast while I have the car :eeyore: so skipping the 'vert was a good call I think. Still gonna hike. So I'll get whatever it is muddy and dirty.

:whocares:

But yeah. It'll be 60F and raining while I have it. And day after I turn it in, 80F and sunny. :rolleyes:

To be clear, I was referring specifically to The Grand Hotel. 5/7 meals and service were had on the island, just not there.

Think of it this way, the Grand was, in reality, what your perception of cruising is.

I've been to a number of places in BFE gegraphic areas like that where the high falutin restaurant serves up food that wouldn't keep it open for a month if it was competing against heavy urban (in this case Chicago) competition. A number of places in Washington state like that. Hey, if you're going to cram down a dress code on people, you need to deliver the goods.

And why the fuck would you have a dress code in a HOTEL, and not just in the restaurant, but everywhere, lobby, etc.? It's :fullretard: and the :derp: s who stay there are also :fullretard:

So it's some people's dorky hobby to want to have to dress up to wander around their hotel lobby? :wtf:
