Just take I-4 to 275 south, no tolls. If you come up through the south over the Skyway then you pay one toll for the bridge.

Found a comic book store! Douche inside was arguing that Black Panthers powers are all drug induced so he's just another black crackhead. So much for California being the promised land!

Depending where you're going in St.Pete, it's probably quicker and easier coming up from the south end even tho it's longer distance, and you only have one toll at the Skyway, take 75 down to 275 then back up. Or whatever way you want to take to 275 will work.

Rhyno posted:Found a comic book store! San Diego is weird. Have you had both carne asada fries and a california burrito yet? IIRC, you're also going to LA. There is nothing worth doing in LA but eating and looking at cars. But they are both amazing. Like I was s sick of Veyrons when I lived in socal. You can also get a good version of any food in the greater LA area if you know where to look. Skip Hollywood and go directly the Mario's (Peruvian), thai town, or langer's (better pastrami than NYC, fight me). Make a reservation of the Peterson vault tour (way better than the actual museum, which is also quite good. You have to make a reservation. If you can get to the Mullin museum, it will be open on the 10th and the 24th this month, it is literally the most amazing car museum in the US if you like 20-30s era cars. You must buy tickets in advance. Totally amazing.

The fries were nothing new. They have that poo poo in Indiana. The burrito was awesome though. We're doing Hollywood mostly i guess and not LA as that's what she wanted most out of the trip. Just got back to the hotel, we walked through the edge of downtown after dark and the homeless are everywhere. And we're told it's unnaturally cold righ now so everyone is suffering. This city is breaking my goddamn heart.

Dtla has some interesting stuff but you should head out to the coast a few times. Stuff in/around downtown: Philippes Fashion district Olvera st Little tokyo Tommy's original Griffith Park La brea tar pits Korea town if you like kbbq and/or karaoke I think there's an observation room and glass floor or something way up in the tallest building (us bank?). Also a mccormick and schmicks in there which we always used to go to for late night happy hour. The Grove is a good place to wander around and has a good food court It's cool to drive down sunset all the way to Santa Monica. Lots of interesting stuff along the way. You can drive up PCH to Malibu and go up in the canyons. And go to Neptune's net. I never really liked going to Venice Beach but it's a touristy thing to do.

This city is breaking my goddamn heart. The homeless problem in SD is because the city doesn't or won't do anything about it, and the weather is pretty much perfect year around so somehow they all migrate there from places like where you came from where it's loving cold. Most of these people are not from SD, so you shouldn't really let it break your heart (other than the homeless issue in general - not specific to SD), they could be homeless in Minnesota or Chicago instead.

I'd be curious if that is actually true. I hear it everywhere warm with a bit homeless issue, but when they do studies a huge percentage became homeless when living in the general area. In warm places, they're less likely to use shelters (shelters are often awful and require them to abandon pets and belongings).

My buddy got an electric smoker for Christmas and loves it. It may be cheating but it works great; he smoked a shitload of pork butt for our NYE party and it held temp even when it was in the single digits outside. The pork kicked rear end too and was gone within minutes of being pulled out.

Oh I could be completely wrong, just going off of what a couple friends who live there say. I know we have plenty of homeless here in the Phoenix area, but they mostly tend to live around the area where shelters and soup kitchens/charities are set up to support them in an area near downtown.

So if your car is having recall work done (takata air bag) and its going to take more than a day you should get a loaner right? The dealership is telling me they will give me a ride home and then pick me up, I live across town so I'm like gently caress that.

My new Hyundai dealer promised a loaner no matter what (without me Asking) even on oil changeable which is a bit silly but if it is true (who knows) cool. My new car Toyota dealer is so freaking fantastic I’m sure they would but they even came and picked up my Prius at work for its first scheduled service because “it was raining so bad”. Too bad I had to give that car away to my horrible ex wife.
