French fries.
I hate McDonalds fries. Not a fan of Miata either so I guess it could be...

as much as I love fries (and MickyD's are ok) my blood sugar doesn't … and I really dislike convertibles … I've driven a Miata 3 times … won the class twice … still don't want one

I'm not sure if you mean there's too many places to count or if there aren't any better rib places.

Yeah, the 'legit mustard delete' was what made me grin the most.

It kind of goes for any hobby/interest though- SWMBO was snickering about a video on her Touch last night and I asked what she was watching. It was apparently a video the people from a popular dance-related TV show had put out demonstrating ballet fundamentals- but they were apparently doing them wrong and she proceeded to explain both what they were doing and what they SHOULD have been doing. When she finished and looked up at me and the look on my face she laughed and said, "I guess now I know how you feel when you try and explain something esoteric about cars to me..."

Soo would the chicken nuggets be the civic crowd?

Better yet the rotards would have to be the fish sandwich.

Mind you, I know a guy in the Wendy's game who has a JBC with a full-on baconator swap, tomato and lettuce delete, full bolt-on onions and pickles, and a 150 shot of ketchup. I'm surprised he hasn't blown the sesame seeds off his bun yet.

In reply to G_Body_Man:

As long as he keeps his bacon CH/CR* ratio in spec, his seeds will be fine. Catastrophic sesame seed failure is mostly an internet myth that resulted from a few bad fry cooks trying to pass themselves off as pros.

  • CR/CH ratio = crispy/chewy

Said Steve was all "oh yea, a BRZ. What do you have hitemp?" and I replied "a caged STi that I do stage rally with" and all I got back was a "cool"... Clearly, not a car "guy" but a car "enthusiast". Big difference.

Or maybe he's such a legit car guy that he knows not to inflate the egos of stage rally drivers any further

This is gonna sound made-up or embellished but back in high school shop class a fellow student brought in his fathers brand new Filet-O-Fish. I mean this thing was still steaming. Out comes a pocket-full of napkins and he proceeds to bolt on pickle slices (this is in ADDITION to the pickle bits installed at the factory included in the Tatar sauce stuff).

Not only that but while he had the top bun off, he added a THIRD bun (he got his hands on a prototype "middle" bun from a guy he knew) effectively turning this into a 1.5 Carb-dose meal. Not to mention the resulting added GI stress.

All we could think was "his dad is gonna kill him if this thing doesn't" I mean he added at least 240 Kcal with the additional CHO, F and P with zero consideration of Gluten Intollerances.

Not even kidding, after that Friday, we never heard from him again. I can only hope his father had the sense to look under the top bun before consumption.

Naw. Rotary enthusiasts would only buy food from Chick-Fil-A and would raise hell whenever someone talked about doing a Beef Patty Swap.

I'm already better than everybody, my ego cannot be inflated further.

Also, road racers suck in the rain and auto-x isn't racing #truths

if she uses the word "esoteric" as a part of her normal day to day language, then she will probably never be able to fully comprehend most "car stuff"..

Honestly while it's certainly in her vocabulary, I doubt she actually used the word 'esoteric', but it's how my brain translated it. I imagine she's fully capable of comprehending it, she just has no interest or desire to do so. Early on when we were dating and I started trying to explain something really specific about how something on one of the cars worked, she stopped me a minute or so in and told me that when I started getting really technical like I was that I was using enough words that she didn't know that it started to sound like she was listening to one of the teachers from Charlie Brown because it made about as much sense.

Which is fair enough, because for the most part I'm the same way whenever she starts talking something technical about dancing, though whether I want to or not I'm slowly learning at least something about it (as she likely is when it comes to cars).
