Sean is going to hate me for saying this, but I really like the 2017 IS300 AWD loaner we have.  Yes, much of that comes from the fact my daily driver is 15 years older than this IS300.   

AWD boo.

It was the one they had.  It pulls out of turns nicely for a stock vehicle.

Steak places in Detroit are not what we have...

Ah.

 

I forget how spoiled we are.  My co worker from DC constantly talks about how he had no idea it got this good.

I almost bought a '13 F-sport.  Loved that car!  I'd have one now if I could afford it.  Fun to drive, I love it aesthetically, and the interior is GREAT!

I really like the car, can't afford it, but very solid all around'er.

Lindsey and I love it, probably double it up every week.  A few decent places in the area that have very fresh fish due to our proximity to water.

Lucky ducks... I go crazy for seafood when near the ocean.

Time to scratch the itch!!

Last hour of being in my 30's.

Can't say I will miss them much. Feeling enlightened with a great sense of finally "arriving".

All the sushi fish is flown in...and not fresh, but that is on purpose.  Just like we age steaks a lot of sushi is aged.  The most important thing to getting good sushi is proximity to a culture that wants it.  Minny has one hell of a fish importer with multiple flights in per day delivering near live fish.  Quality is better than pretty much anywhere else I have ever been outside of Tsukuji in Japan.

My colleagues always pull the "how can you live in MN so far from all the fish", I then ask what fish they normally eat and they reference nothing local.  Hell even in Seattle if you ask about the local catch they get excited about the Salmon...of course that is regularly caught 2000mi North of Seattle and flown in.

You are welcome to come crash for a weekend and we go to some great crab or seafood spots.

I get a lot of MD crab rolls.

Crab is not a fish

I am jealous of those BIG TIME though.  Crabs travel worse than almost any other fish.

 We got all the Trout you can eat. Lol

 There's a couple sushi places the claim to fly in daily...  as there is five airports within 75 miles of me.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

 Now Hawaii on the other hand...OMG the fish is good.

I wish... I keep telling myself im going to tour around the country when the kid graduates. Do a tattoo tour. Lol

Would love to go pig out in Maine... all the food shows that go there make me drool.

There is a scientific function that determines if you need another snowmobile or if your current situation can handle an additional snowmobile.

S_max = N+1

Where S_max is the number of snowmobiles you can handle/need.

and N is the number of snowmobiles you currently own.

This also is valid for motorcycles, bicycles, 4 wheelers, guns and any other recreational goods. Hopefully this helps you find your answer.
