I don't care for Five Guys. Their burger patties always seem "low grade" ... why do they always look like a crumbling mess? Five Guys seems overpriced for the quality.

I also don't care for In-n-Out, but at least the price is representative of the quality. Low.

^^^ This - I don't understand the love for either. Or Krispy Kreme donuts. People just love low-grade crap, I guess.

Nice, the Japanese black burger.

What Five Guys does have is great french fries.

These guys used to make a mean burger, at least, for a fast food place.


There was another chain in Tampa that was similar called "Hookers". I remember them making a good burger too, but then when you're a poor college student, just about any cheap food is good food.

Jy complete dumb luck I happened to see this beauty and followed it to a unique little car show the weekend before last in Cucamonga, CA.





While I was there, I fell in love with... a Bronco!



The guy who owned it had done so since new in 1969!



It had added A/C and power steering, and a few other tasteful mods like:

An autograph by Parnelli Jones!


Some comfortable upholstery.




A five speed tranny and what must be an amazing transfer case




I always loved the engineering behind this flip down license plate - so even if you had the tailgate down you were legal!

A few more:

Same vintage as me!








Talk about unique:





Why can't we have sunroofs like this anymore?




Are there any Lakers fans left?

I used to have to keep one of these topped off when my dad stopped for fuel:


Kinda cool, but what do you do with it?

I would be skeptical of anyway that didn't like Five Guys.
