You know, I think I eat far too many of my after work lunches at Taco Bell. That being said, holy poo poo the new Quesarito is pretty loving good.

If you're going to Taco Bell and counting calories you're doing it wrong.

Quotin' this. There once was a time when I could put back 2 5 layer burritos and not even flinch. If I counted the number of calories i've consumed from that place throughout the years, I'd be a very depressed man :v:

Two five-layer burritos is easy. Still bad for you, but easy.

Three whoppers? I'm having a difficult time imagining. The thing about Taco Bell is that everything is made out of the same stuff. They have six ingredients, and it seems that in-house meal designers were told to go wild with them. Hence a quesadilla/burrito hybrid.

See, you say that, but I have a hard time putting away the second one. I think i'm going soft in my old age, even one of those fuckers will fill me up. That being said, worst habit I used to have was eating 2 Double Downs and chugging one of those 24oz cans of Monster. It's a wonder i'm still alive.

Jesus loving christ, why do people insist on shifting from reverse to drive or vice versa while the vehicle is still moving :gonk:

I have a coworker that always does that in our work truck and I keep expecting to hear horrible sounds :(

Also serves as my offroading outlet since I'm a poor and can't afford a proper offroading setup.

Get Spintires, it's well worth the $30. I've been having a blast taking an 8x8 MTVR and just driving through rivers :v:

Woohoo, just made my last bank loan payment today! That's an extra $115 a month I can put back now :v:

Feels awesome, I've been paying on it for the past 2 years and I'm finally done.

Is it bad that I really want the 4wd Sonoma that a local town uses for a security truck? The guy who works security is talking about trying to get them to replace it and driving it is giving me flashbacks to when I owned this:



All i'd really need to do is swap the steering column to a tilt column setup so I could fit in it more comfortably and it'd be perfect for an offroad toy.

So far the Need For Speed movie isn't as godawfully terrible as I expected it'd be. It's not great but it's definitely watchable at least. On par with the stupid but fun Fast and Furious movies.

california!


perfect driving weather all the time. but the rest of the state sucks donkey balls.

He said for cars though, and Cali still has CARB, doesn't it?

EDIT: I'll say Arkansas isn't too terrible for cars though. No emissions, no inspections, and we have decent driving roads like this:

Back when I still lived at that house I used to love the drive home. Still make that run occasionally just because it's an absolute blast.

Oregon has mountains, is neither too hot nor too cold, rust isn't an issue, and we don't have safety inspections and we only do smog if you live inside the urban boundary of the Portland metro area. Plus registration is only $86 every two years. And no sales tax. It's pretty much the ideal car enthusiast state.

As long as you're not some sissy who moans about 6 months of rain (note I said rain, we only get snow/ice a handful of days a year, if that, and you can always live in the eastern half of the state - which is desert - if its that much of a problem)

Between this and the beautiful scenery, I keep getting tempted to visit / move to Oregon. I've got a friend who lives in Gladstone and he's been doing a drat good job of convincing me to check the place out.

Ugh, this sucks. Managed to bust my ankle up pretty spectacularly Monday while weedeating, caught a rock and slung it dead on into the bone of my right ankle at Mach 5 or so. Took Tuesday off, foolishly went in and worked Wednesday to make up some money, which hosed it up worse. Now i'm on my 3rd day of no work this week since I took Thursday off as well to try and undo Wednesday's gently caress up and i'm really hoping this poo poo is healed enough for me to go back to work by Monday. This is what I get for being an idiot and not wearing proper workboots. Lesson learned.
