Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

He he, I was looking at those yesterday. I can't deny their results, but if I go FI, it will be with Hellion.

I LOVE this engine! Going to order a forged rotating assembly and shoot for 9K. The current tune cuts out at 7.8 and the bitch still pulls with the Boss intake.

Hopefully I can get next week off and get on a dyno and check the tune fully.

Ordered a Roush grill kit and OEM foglights to move them to the lower corners.

I need to build some ramps too as neither of my low profile jacks fit under the car.

wish ford would have put it in the exploder
The soccer moms want MPGs. I'd hate to see the price on that too! The Sport is $50K+, so I imagine the Coyote would push it into Shelby territory.

Actually, that might work. It SHOULD be in the Expedition/Navigator.

I want Shelby territory

I looked at one last night and there was an extra sticker on it for $7K and it stated, "market adjustment." The car's been sitting on their lot since March.

Do we get pictures of the new ride?

What is your favorite fast food chain fry?

 

In-n-Out

What the hell is that? I don't have those here.
 Best fast food burger joint on the planet

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-N-Out_Burger

 

They used to cut the potato and fry it fresh right in front of you.

Aside from some of my friends and the GF's family, In-N-Out is the inly thing I miss about Arizona.

Hell In-N-Out was one of the perks of going out for a night on the town in Tucson.

If they are open at 2am, I'd hit it then.

Some are 24 hrs, some close at 1 m-th and 3 f-sun

Guy that works for me in Detroit has an Explorer Sport. Just a little more and it would really hold its own against the Germans.

I can't agree more. An they ask insane money for it.

Insane.

Seth, what about something like 'Your Father's Mechanic'? It's catchy, rolls off the tongue, and conveys trust and respect.

'Hey where did you get your hybrid fixed?'

'Your father's Mechanic.'

'Oh You know Tommy? Great guy eh?'

'No, that's the name of the shop. They offer the kind of service your dad would trust, at prices your mom would approve of.'

LOL... Not bad...

 

Better than anything I can think of so far.

I've never gotten the whole whitecastle thing. They are better than BK or McDs, but their sliders are not all that.

Some buddies and I went to Krystal Burger one late night of a bachelor party on Bourbo street. We promptly began pronouncing it like Cristal to make it sound fancier,and renamed the burger meat, "burger flem" because it was so thin and gross. I remember our buns being soggy and the prices being ridiculous for what we got. I never understood why people go there.

Ha, about 30 minutes later a buddy bought a round of "hand grenades" which is a big overly sweet alcoholic beverage. Some guys ash form his cig dropped from a second story into my drink. So, unfortunately, I had to throw it away.

I don't even care anymore, if it's got calories I'll eat it. Gotta get BIG!

 

eg: for the last two months I've been eating an entire little caesars pizza post workout / climbing. Worst pizza ever.

 

I climb or workout everyday during the week.

We had oysters and such at Felix's, seemed good to me.  

 

Bourbon street seemed rather trashy though, even more so than the rest of that area.

It's amazing to me how much I have to cut to lose weight. I've been cutting to about 1500 Kcal (all high quality food) and my weight loss is sloooooow.

My experience was so memorable that I can only remember ONE of the restaurants we ate at.  August.  Even that was mediocre for the few hundred bones it was.  My kids liked it though.

My neighbor just lost 20 pounds in the past 3 weeks.  Down to like 160 or so.  He was complaining that his new "cleanse" diet takes forever to cook for.  I asked him what he was eating and it is all out of some book.  Described what it was, Meat, Veggies, Fruit, and Carbs.  ROFL.  Basically nothing processed.  Said that he and his wife spend 2 hours a day prepping for the next day before bed.

So in a few weeks when they get tired of prepping all day they'll revert back.

If they allow a cheat day once every few weeks they will be fine.

As for you, look into not only high calorie but long burning foods such as peanut butter, red meat, and a lot of grains. Eat heavy before bed to keep the system full. Especially long lasting protein dense things. Carb loading may help as well.
