Now make a thread about why Texas is the best and this could be a great experiment! Which thread gets more trolling?

There's really nothing special about in-n-out though... I get you all are into it, but from an outside observer it's just another burger joint.

(i actually agree with you, i think in-n-out burgers are not as special as californians make them out to be)

for a chain that is made from scratch, they are one of the most consistent burger places you can ever go to.

I always order a cheeseburger animal style w/o pickles and add chopped chilies, and the consistency is absurd.

I went to the Plano TX location a few weeks after it opened and the burger tasted the same as the one down the street from me. Can't say the same for the other burger places..

I'm going back to cali. hmm, I don't think so
I'm going back to cali, cali, cali
I'm going back to cali. I don't think so

Going back to cali, stylin, profilin
Growlin, and smilin, while in the sun
The top is down, on the black corvette
And it's fly, cause it's sittin on dayton's
Laurents steering wheel, plushed out, gold-leaf phantom top
And three girls waiting

Vrrrroom engine's blowin, the chrome, is shining
Passing all the cars on the way
Movement of the wind, back wheels spin
Pop in a cassette and push play

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles and never frowns
Soon, I will be president
Carter power will soon go away
I will be Führer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school

California über alles
California über alles
Über alles, California
Über alles, California

Zen fascists will control you
One-hundred percent natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back, you say
Mellow out, or you will pay
Mellow out, or you will pay

California über alles
California über alles
Über alles, California
Über alles, California

Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It's the suede denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes, here's a pretty flower
Die on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown

I liked my visits to California. It was nice there.
Can't say the same for my trips to Texas. Mind you those trips were always to audit safety in cattle slaughterhouses so not nearly as much fun.

The last time I was in LA, the people I met were either in the film business or trying to get into the film business and everyone else was looking for a fight...

Got out of LA and things went kinda normal, when I say normal I mean normal for California.

Considered it, doesn't that doesn't hold up. Californian's don't trash other states in the volumes we see coming inbound, but you guys can't seem to stop thinking about us. Writing about us. Staring at us. You secretly love us. Admit it.

The first state I lived in was CA, does that make me a Californian? Please say no, I don't think I could take the bad news.

Them jokes obviously had nothing to do with the way you really felt about things... :lol: Boy calling it a joke thread sure was sly. So smart! Fooled everyone. We're mystified.

Gosh, how do us lamented Californians (you know, the people in state with the most universities) keep up with these immeasurably clever tactics? Sucks so bad to be hated on the internet by people that don't live here. So bad... I guess we're just going to have to live with ourselves, contemplating your feelings, on the beach in another day of pristine weather, great food, fine women, and a huge economy. It's agony.

Punny! and noted! I'd cry, and this thread would drink my tears.

Team's estimated value hangs around $4.4b, so there'd have to be a city that could absorb and support a franchise of that scale. For comparison, the Blazers and Bucks sit at an estimated $1.8b each. I think we're aight.

I don't get why people complain about this.

At least the law in CA defines what noise level constitutes an illegal muffler. 95db tested according to a SAE standard.

Texas? http://semasan.com/resources/exhaust...ws-state#Texas

I know it's up to the law enforcement officer to determine, but it's so vague that anyone can determine what is legal or not, just by how good their lawyer is in court.

Some of the other states have pretty absurd sound limitations by comparison... 88db in Oregon, Ohio is 70db for any moving vehicle under 35MPH, Montana is just like California, 95db.

All this has nothing to do with noise regulations, just enforcement of those regulations.

Its because our AR-15 are louder than a car so we don't enforce it.

I have never seen it enforced. A loud stereo, that will get you ticket pretty quickly. About the only other thing they are concerned with is window tint.

And that's my point exactly. At least the law in CA and other states clearly state what constitutes an illegal exhaust and what does not, so there's no arbitrary enforcement of the law (or lack of).

For the longest time California had the state ref run an exhaust enforcement program that provided a certification showing an exhaust to be in compliance with the CVC. I think this was reduced in scope due to the budget cuts around 10 years ago, but at least if you got your exhaust tested you can easily show this to a police officer to prove that your exhaust was street legal.

Wish more states had things like this, so car enthusiasts don't need to tip toe around the issue. As for other states, just because there's no enforcement doesn't mean a whole lot if an officer wants to ruin your day because he didn't like the way you looked at him.

In fact it was sorta started by a guy from California. He got exactly the reactions he said he would.

I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Midwest farmer's daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
