Sonic is alright, they have awesome shakes and drinks. Onion rings are a bit greasy but better than most fast food onion rings. I prefer to make hamburgers at home with groundbeef bought at the grocery store. The extra lean stuff 96% is good.

Next time you wanna indulge in fast food awesomeness, travel down to phoenix and hit up the In N' Out on Cactus and Tatum. I'll hook you up with some free burgers!

You're really not missing out. Sonic is nothing special. The only things they have over BK and McDonalds and the like are their huge drinks menu and the carhop service. The food is typical fast food crap. The ads are THE most annoying ads in history. I hate Sonic.

Sonic was all over MO but took forever to reach St Louis. I like their coney dogs and drinks.

Checking in from Texas.

Yeah, we have a butt load of Sonics. We have two in our town, and both are pretty decent. Make great places to cruise to and hang out at though. Not to mention there drinks make great mixers for alcohol

Hi, I'm late

I would kill for a Sonic around my way...All we have are s***ty 7-11s and Quick Checks.I probably would travel that far for Sonics too.

North Jersey needs Sonics and Wawas(s?).Until then I am going to be at Checkers

I was driving through PA earlier this year with my Dad and stopped at a Sonic. It was fantastic.

And d!ck - there are SO many better burgers in NJ then White Castle that are just as quick, you just have to know where to look.

Wawa is the s*** dude, their sandwiches rock. I'm surprised you don't have any around you since you're in Jersey and they are literally everywhere up here.

I have like 6 Wawa's within a 4 mile radius of me. Went to the Sonic in Lancaster PA and overall I have to say I wasn't that impressed, but then again it was like 100 degrees and the car we were in didn't have AC so I was pretty much miserable when I got there.

The one in Bensalem opened last fall and I still haven't been even though the GF loves them.

Saladworks FTMFW.

WAWA FTMFW. God I love me a Wawa...makes me want a sandwich really bad right now actually....MMM...the soft bake pretzels are amazing as well!

Sheetz makes a pretty good one too, but that's only for when I travel out to VA to see my brother at VT.

I can get better burgers anywhere, even make them at home. White Castles are unique and it would take them closing every store except the ones in NJ to get me to visit that state.

Yes sir. 66 300 Deluxe, not many of those around. It used to be blown but he took it off a while back. Now he's looking for another blower for it because he is starting to miss it.

Here's some more of it:

Same guy also owns a 27 model t that used to look like this:

Until he decided he was tired of getting sunburned driving a roadster, and now it looks like this(kinda, it's actually painted now I just don't have any pictures):

Driving both the 27 and the Chevelle is what made me buy my Nova project.

Very nice. I really like that he kept the original wheels on it.

The T-bucket is sweet, too.

We had a local Nissan meet a couple years ago at a Sonic. Nice place to hang out and eat. Got rained on though.



I miss my Q45. I feel like I let go of a family member... that peed on the carpet and chewed up the furniture.

On second thought, I don't miss it that much.

I had sonic for lunch yesterday... I got the burger melt and chili and cheese tater tots. The burger was so good I wanted another one right then and there, but I behaved and wasn't a piggy. But that was a damned good sandwich.
