    just had a blow out, on the side of the road right now

    well I as on the freeway and going about 80 and all the sudden my car started shaking and not 3 seconds later powww! My front left tire locked up and luckily there are big shoulders because I was fighting for control. So at the moment I am on the side of the road typing this because the damn Audi dealer did not include a breaker bar with my car. Great. So now my dad is driving 45 minutes to come give me one. Yes I'm typing this on my phone. Hey I got to use the reflector thing on the trunk though! And the tire is jammed up in the wheel well. Perfect.
    Oh btw I was on my way back from getting the stge 1+ tune with the injectors.

    5 star? You mean Exxon-mobil rated, or just a nice steakhouse?

    Cool. FYI, that's not a 5 star restaurant. I'm sure it's nice though. I just dislike how often that phrase is thrown around.

    Thats a rating for hotels, restaurants, and spas. They rate all over the U.S. Currently there are 17 restaurants I believe which are 5 Stars in the U.S. It used to be called just Mobil, until Exxon bought the company.

    No, not Zagat. Zagat rates on a number system. Why you ask is a gas station rating restauratns. Well, before this wonderful thing called the internet, all Mobil stations carried guides for travelers to lodging and restaurants in a region. It started small, then blew up. It's the most respectable rating system in the U.S. besides Michelin, who just started rating the U.S.

    Zagat is only big on the east coast. No restaurants out here even put the lil stickers on the window.

    FWIW, the restaurant I work at was rated 28/29/28 by Zagat. Out of 30 of course.
    Cheers! David
