I was walking to my car in my school's lot and saw a chrome-wrapped Merc E300.

I'd instantly think

'Welp, Mogar is here.'

Rare to Medium Rare. The only two correct ways to make them.

 

No Kappa.

I like mine up to medium. Anything over tastes bland and feels tough as fuck. One day I do wanna try some beef tartare, see how raw beef tastes like, if my gut doesn't manage to shit all over my pants.

Medium is borderline acceptable. If it ain't bleedin', it's burnt to hell.

I usually just get medium rare. A good resturant will have a really good medium rare steak.

Outback, Applebee's, and Texas Roadhouse all do Medium ware exceptionally well.

I'll take medium beef only when it's a good cut of steak, like ribeye, hell maybe even a cheap but tasty cut like chuck steak. But i like my beef rare in dishes such as pho. If you haven't tried it, it's fucking heavenly. Basically the asian version of chicken noodle soup, except it's beef based and it's rice noodles. But best asian comfort food ever. Even better when you get a combo bowl and it comes with tripe, meatballs, rare beef, brisket, tendon, and flank. 100/10 would recommend.

probably. But I'm talking about the only resturants I actually get steaks at. The local "fancy" places that cost $100 for you to eat.

 

There's a place called "The Chophouse" in New Orleans that is pretty much my favorite place I've ever eaten... my dad brought be there for my 16th birthday for dinner. We (just us two) left with a $300 bill. no alcohol either. lol

TLDR can someone catch me up on the last 40 pages. School has been tough

Lol, Ruth's Chris shiets on all of those places. At least, from what I've heard. 

 

I like my steak medium rare or medium.

We all took 20 hits of ecstasy and started a Death Metal Polka Techno hybrid band named Raging Gerbils and Angelic Squirrels

New Orleans food is so lit. The south is probably my favorite place ive been to hands down.

yeah every local place I've eaten at in New Orleans has been good. Certainly a city you won't have trouble getting a bad meal in.

I've never tried New Orleans food before, but i've always heard it's good. The only other city I've been to that probably might come close is San Jose. Delicious food galore. Literally there is a 3.5-5 star (review, not quality) restaurant within a block of your surroundings. Would especially recommend any pho restaurant here, the bay area makes probably some of the most delicious pho anywhere.

[terrytek]

Speaking of food and pho, have any of you guys tried it? Literally probably my most favorite food, after sushi. It gives me so much warmth, and it tastes amazing. And relatively cheap, about 6-7 dollars in my area for a nice large bowl. I feel like you guys are annoyed by how much I talk about it, but it's just so damn good.

I love pho. There's a place I like to go to in downtown that is really good. Pho Fifth Avenue. I typically choose beef brisket.

Il hold you up on that deal. Anyone got a gun I can borrow? ( @techswede you got any old dulling pistols or muskets? ). 

 

Nope. There are no black powder pistol/rifle clubs in my area.. 

If i was sticking around in sweden i'd get a firearms license for target shooting. (People that like their steak well done might not qualify)

And pick up a Thompson center contender in 45-70 gov't. Because i'll always win a target shooting competition if i obliterate the target.

The sound of a wasp with a sore throat. Torque of a food blender. Ah the wankel..

Pho is basically the perfect winter food. Keeps you nice and warm, fills you up, and it satisfies your every craving. There's this place that, if you get a large, they actually give you more noodles and meat, unlike others, where they just give you more soup only (not saying the broth is bad tho, it's just as delicious), Saigon One. I get the combination because I like a nice loaded dish. And their vermicelli with vietnamese bbq is very good too, i wish food like this was more mainstream.

I'd do that or an S62 swap, whichever I feel like getting.

San José isn't known for any particularly good food though, it's just that we have a high population of immigrants so you get food from many different places.

So stripped the rear seats out for the Weekend Racing, Man those things are heavy. 

 

The more I look at it now the more and more tempted I am to put in a bolt in Roll cage, Not so much for FIA certification but more so to stiffen up the body and make it nice and solid on the track. 

 

Anyone else here itching for a cage?

I think their food is all around good, like it's kinda foodie heaven for me. You have good food of all cuisines, and they're all super good, so it's almost impossible to choose just one particular good food. I think their vietnamese food is particularly good.

I wouldn't spring for a cage, especially if I owned a sedan, because it removes that practicality, so I don't tend to like cages. So is the rear seat removal a permanent thing or is it just for the weekend? and is this a daily?

Agree with a sedan,

 

Its a 3 Door Hatch so just lose the small backseats which honestly wouldn't phase me but would only do it next year when I buy my tow Vehicle, but still keeping it road legal.   

 

Na seats will go back in on Monday. just for the track weekend.

Why not get a cage that keeps the rear seats?

 

and how much trouble did you go through to remove those seats?

Was pretty easy to remove them, but adding the cage with the seats still in it would make it a real mission to get them out, if possible at all. 

 

This is pretty much what I would want Easy to bolt in for track weekends and remove if I wanna pop the back seats in.
