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.

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.

My point is that New Orleans has a specific ethnic food, while San Jose doesn't. Louisiana is KNOWN for good food. San Jose really isn't.

theres good food to be found everywhere (usually). You just have to find it. 

In louisiana though, and especially new orleans, good food is everywhere. It makes me feel spoiled sometimes. and fat... lol

But I honestly prefer a city where it's a melting pot of good food tbh. Then i'm spoiled with culture bc I can taste different cultures.

Since my Focus is a 5 door and I mostly use if for "practical adult things" cages aernt an option (I'm not gonna track anyways) but I kinda want to remove the back seats for weight, just because.
