unrelated, but what's the timing belt interval on a 2.4L 2009 Sonata? I think that SWMBO's daily is coming due.

Infinite. There's no belt.

Wheels, hell! That trunk luggage rack looks, um, stout.

I'm amazed at how many people have tried it only recently. My first time was in the mid 70's. At that time it was something special. Not quite as special now.
I ate so many chick fil a nuggets while at college i avoided the place for several years.
the one by my office is always busy. drive thru line around the building at all times it seems like. i always park and am out with my food while the cars in line only moved up 2 places.
its pretty good i guess. better than Mcd's or BK. big ass lemonade really hits the spot after working a long day outside. my go to is the regular spicy chicken sammich, add my own mayo and hot sauce to it. if im really hungry get the combo + an additional sammich.
The camp out is for the first 100 people, plus usually ten alternates in case any of those first 100 can't stay in the parking lot for the full 24 hours before opening. The prize is 52 free number 1 combo meals, roughly $350 worth. The places are raffled of amongst all the eligible people in the parking lot at 6 a.m. the Wednesday before the opening. They used to do this with the first 100 people to turn up, but people started arriving several days in advance while the crews were still fitting out the equipment. Not that I know anything about these events, or that I have done five of them because SWMBO is a free food fanatic...

So.. Burn a couple days vacation to get free food? $350 worth of food. Lets call it two days of work or 16 hours of work, you would need to be making less than $21.75/hr to make this a worth while endeavor. That's actually higher than I thought... back to your normally scheduled program.

So you're one of those heathens that eats their sandwiches upsidedown?
In reply to Lancer007:
Only out of pure excitement.
Well, I refuse to eat Chick-Fil-A.
I mean, the closest one is like, 4,000 miles away!
In reply to Bobzilla:
that's how trouble free it's been!
Only semi-related, but they opened some new something in my parents' town. Yes, there was a line, and we went there for something to do. They opened the door and my dad made a beeline to the counter. He bought the first thing he saw--a pack of gum or something.
Anyway, the news reporter was there, snapped a photo, and my dad landed on the front page of their local paper.
We were so proud.

I've always thought that was a stupid saying.
Can you imagine your parents sitting at home, reading a letter written by you about some new chicken sandwich you tried?
"Dear Mom and Dad,
Found the best chicken sandwich ever.
Love Junior
Ps: send money"

When they opened the Krispy Kreme in Cedar Rapids, the reaction was as if Jesus Christ himself was feeding hot & ready glazed to the 5,000. So yes, I can imagine the letter you describe.
You should have seen the idiots acting all idiotic about a new grocery store opening in Knoxville. I had never been so disappointed in humanity.

We had the same thing. Deleriousness. Every single vendor or delivery guy dropped off a dozen Krispy Kremes to say thanks, we were swimming in the things.
The store was gone a year later.
Were they dressed like gay cows?
In reply to Keith Tanner:
Same here in Tucson. They built 3 and within 2 years were down to one, then a couple years later totally gone. There are way better donuts out there. Chik-fil-a opened about the same time and have been gangbusters, not going anywhere anytime soon I hope.
Looking forward to trying one some time if I ever end up near one. That one just might be the closest I will get as I'm helping a friend move from Northborough to Burlington Mass next week. Only thing is it is out of the way, and D'Angelos sub.

Wait til you go to a grocery store closing. It's positivly retarded what people do.
What's truly crazy is how Germans react to a store being open on Sunday. I went into the Lidl in the train station once. Never again.
In reply to SVreX:
Yes one was and had a sign "Eat Mor Chicken"
I can not understand why there is always a massive line at Chic-Fil-A. I mean in Huntsville we have Popeyes, Bojangles, Zaxby's, Church's, KFC, Tenders and Chic-Fil-A. And all those except KFC and Church's are way better tasting. It makes no sense. To go to Chic-Fail-A, I have to wait in a massive line and deal with a bunch berkeleying annoying kids. MY wife loves that place though so sometimes I have to suck it up.
I don't eat a lot of fast food, but the Chik-fil-a chicken breakfast sandwich on a sunflower bagel with waffle fries is LEGIT.
Would wait in line for again. A+

Krispy Kreme is all about the hype. They're perfectly serviceable commercial-grade donuts. Nothing more, nothing less.
