Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Neal, when you were shopping last, did you happen to drive a Venza? If so, what were your feelings?

Drove one with my mom a week ago. Holy shit boring. $39k in the format we looked at as well and for cars in the $35k-43k range it was the last one on the list.

Wagyu cattle must hang for a very long time before butchering. We raise Black Angus and Black Angus Wagyu mixed. Typical cattle are aged for 2 weeks. We age our Wagyu/Angus mixed for up to 8
How do you get started? Don't want to compete. My BIL owns a Dairy/Beef farm and keeps offering to sell me a steer and only pay butchering, but I know what he'd be out. Said I wanted to buy a Wagyu feeder ~300lbs or so and have him raise it. Then I'd give him meat in payment. Don't want to take advantage of him and gift him something in return. I've looked all over and can't find where to buy one :(/>

Tons of Wagyu breeders here in Texas; some even breed Wangus (Angus/Wagyu hybrids)

Man, tomorrow is going to be a long day.

Steak was delicious. Had an amazing night. Paid for it a bit but I needed a good night. Ended up making good friends with some of the guys. Tomorrow will be rough though...

Mother fucker. Sears website doesn't show it available for pickup at the closets Sears. Bitching at an agent through chat. This isn't going to go well for him.
Went better than expected. They have some in stock at a store more than 50 miles from me, told them I wasn't driving that far & they needed to have one sent to my local store. Guy said he could contact the auto center to see if they could arrange that. Didn't figure they would be willing to do that, and still might not as he hasn't talked to the auto centers yet....but I'm tired of having to jump my fucking car in 10* weather, so atleast it's a step in the right direction.

Buy AC Delco. Best batteries available. I have seen cold or hot start problems with so many of the big brands it isn't funny. But Delcos are without a doubt the most reliable.

The Diehard Platinum are good batteries. They are actually re-badged AC Delco Platinum Professional batteries.

We buy sticks from a farm in the north west and artificially inseminate. They run about 50- 150 bucks a stick depending on the bull.

Forgot we did not drive one because the wife did not like it. The only cars she drove were the Lexus IS 250,350, and ES 350 aside from the Camry SE.

There's nothing better than a boring car for a daily driver.

Yeah, I've driven the ES330, and the LS460 I think it was. I don't like the insurance premium though. I don't see the point either when they're basically a Toyota with thicker steel and extra sound deadening. I do like the mid to late 90s LS models though. I'm not paying $10K for a car with over 100K miles though.

Insurance was the deal breaker on the ES and the IS was a little too small she felt. Here Camry is a little pricey for insurance or more than I like to pay.

When this pirate turns about 40 he may be looking for a nice Ferdinand 1984 930.

First real check of the year for me with out holiday and bonus pay and it seems my take home is about $90 less biweekly. Between healthcare and tax increases I might aswell get some of that Obomacare, I bet they did not get a pay reduction.

That either has the conversion or is a 935. I like the classic headlights.

That does look like the first one I ever drove though.

The ihop is full of random tangents, and perhaps obscenities, but not to the extent of posting shit literally.
