Living in NASCAR Land...

[BusyBadger]

One of the nice things about living in the cradle of NASCAR civilization is the generally friendly attitude towards all things automotive (well, except-right hand turns).

Pulled up to the gas pump the other day and saw this...



...kinda funny when I hear members talk about the semi-difficult time they have getting/finding 91 octane when 93 is all over where I live, and now 100 is available at the pump too.

WOW! How much was it a gallon? Did you fill'r up?

I have always liked car things and car people. My sister has a condo south of Daytona that is near the original part of the race track. The original Daytona 500 was run partially on the sand beach! There is a bar that is where the north turn was. I think it is the name of the bar. All kinds of cool race memorabilia. I just love that kind of stuff.

We have a cool restaurant here called the Fill'n Station. It is right next to a huge Harley Davidson dealership. The whole restaurant is automotive memorabilia. Even the napkins are shop towels. Fun place.

I think it was somewhere between $6.50-$6.75 a gallon. No fill up, oh to have an engine that would really take advantage of 100 octane.

Nicer still, when you heard others complain about gas prices you'd have the ultimate trump card for the conversation.

Yup. I'm afraid I would have to pass on that one. Maybe I would put a few gallons in my Camaro and have a go at it.
