I just walked out of a Chipotle, my wife needed dinner since Jimmy John's screwed up her order with family dinner at 5:30. True love walking into that cult this late at night.

To be honest all of these places are ruined for me now after going out west a few times. If you are ever in San Diego I highly recommend going to http://tacosmackdown.com/menu.htm and getting the Surfin California burrito. Life will never be the same. If rice is in a burrito, its just blasphemy to me now.

To my shame she prefers Chipotle sometimes. I've tried for 9 years (8 years of marriage) to let the hate flow through her but she found Moe's too late in life to fully appreciate it. In fact the Moe's and Chipotle are about a block apart on the South End here.

This is why I hope we beat the crap out of ECU. They fired the alumni coach who had a bad season or two for the thought of maybe being more relevant. Ruffin McNeill loved ECU and they owe him a lot of their success.
Let's hope for another 49-0.

They owe him a ton. He pretty much brought them up and could have moved them further. They went from a scrappy but basically winnable game to a dangerous team not be over-looked. Ruffin had them on the way up and they basically took themselves a few steps back IMO with firing him.

All those things are true, but I still think there is a high probability that Montgomery is a better coach than Ruff over the next five years. Montgomery has high upside.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
He might have more upside, but if Montgomery has one good year he'll bolt for a better job. Ruffin would have never done that. You don't want to be a stepping stone, you want to be a final destination.

I've run ethanol gas in my weed eater, lawnmower and chainsaw for 10 years, never had any issue.
My dad complains about the same thing but it's never mattered. He gases up his boat with ethanol gas when its on the trailer, not sure what marinas carry.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Gasoline is more "energy dense" than ethanol. This means that the higher the ethanol concentration, the lower the gas mileage. If the price is close, you should go with the pure gas. With the 10% ethanol gas that you get at most gas stations, the difference isn't as noticeable, but when you move up to E85 (15% methanol) your mileage goes to shit.
As for the water/corrosion issue, this is definitely something to worry about only if you are running an older car, lawnmower, marine motor, etc because the older fuel lines and fuel injectors were not designed to come in contact with a lot of water so corrosion and damage are definitely possible. More modern equipment is designed to withstand ethanol and water so you don't have to worry about potential corrosion. Having said that, in colder climates obviously large amounts of water can accumulate in unfortunate places within the system and cause damage due to expansion when it freezes, but you would need to get a lot of water in there.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Ethanol is an alcohol so it will dry out rubber-type seals. Boats tend to have a lot more of these to keep all the water out. Most engine producers have switched to alcohol resistant materials with the regulation to have 10% ethanol in fuel.
Ethanol fuel actually will help to remove water that has accumulated in your gas tank as water is soluble with alcohol, but not gasoline. The water mixes into the fuel and is vaporized during combustion and carried out in the exhaust. If you have an E85 compatible vehicle, consider running a couple tanks through before winter to avoid fuel line freezup.
The combustion of both ethanol and gasoline produce water, the difference is the ethanol has more water and less carbon in the emissions and burns cleaner and the opposite is true for gas. Many high performance engines used in racing run on an alcohol based fuel to avoid the carbon buildup in the engine and exhaust components.

most of the racing fuels are methanol-based which would have very bad effects on the body; however, the booze curve still holds water (nerdy chemistry joke alert!): performance improvement up to about the 3-4 drink mark, then rapid degradation with each drink thereafter.

Can't speak to today's crop up there but growing up in NoVa in the 70's made me an excellent driver.... I learned how to maneuver through traffic on streets where ten pounds of traffic flowed through a five pound pipeline and sometimes you mixed in a liberal amount of Maryland drivers to really make things a challenge. As a result, I have never had an accident in traffic and avoided some collisions where passengers turned to me afterwards and asked, "How the hell did you do that?". It's all about having your head on a swivel and knowing where all the cars around you are and what those Maryland types are going to try..... And by the way.... Scottie Montgomery has been in North Carolina for years but still carries a Maryland Drivers License.

The thing I've noticed about bad drivers is that there is a difference between a bad VA driver/bad NJ driver vs. a bad MD driver. When I was learning to drive (in NoVA) with my dad (who was from NJ), one of the first rules of driving was, "if you're going to do something, f***ing do it. Indecision kills." (Rule #1 was, "this is my car, so if I say to do something, you will do it with no question.") My dad was, hands down, the best driver I ever knew. He could maneuver anything, from motorcycle to small car to a trailer or moving truck, you name it. I saw him avoid accidents several times with brilliant technique. So when he spoke, I listened.
If I run into a "bad" driver in VA, it's usually because he/she cut me off or something. That's easy to deal with. The person may be a jerk, but that's an action I can see and to which I can react. MD drivers, man, that's a whole different boat. Signaling left and drifting into a right lane, before swerving to (over)correct, jamming on the brakes while merging onto the Beltway for NO REASON except maybe they're scared of a highway. Mind-blowing stuff that comes from fear, poor training, or simply hesitancy to take an action.

Maryland drivers sound a lot like Florida drivers. Just bizarre stuff. My favorite was how medians were merely "optional." There's a concrete median there? No problem, just drive over it in your Honda Civic, scraping the bottom the whole way.

I swear Florida drivers took some kind of "creative driving" course which the rest of sane humanity can't even fathom. And yes, India traffic is crazier but EVERYONE is on the same level there, so it's better.

When driving in Florida be prepared for anyone in any lane going any direction to suddenly turn across your lane.
Bonus story about Florida driving: my great uncle was giving my dad a ride to his country club and turned the wrong way down a divided road. The people wer swiving and honking at him, and my great uncle's response was "Everyone here knows me, see? They love me around here!"

Scottie Montgomery thinks ethanol is a great idea.
That all depends on what it's being used for.
What's wrong with ethanol?
Produces water and ruins your marine and small engines.
I've run ethanol gas in my weed eater, lawnmower and chainsaw for 10 years, never had any issue.
My dad complains about the same thing but it's never mattered. He gases up his boat with ethanol gas when its on the trailer, not sure what marinas carry.
Many marinas (and some gas stations near the coast) carry ethanol-free gas. It's more expensive.
Some claim there is an issue with water condensation/separation, but I can't vouch for the validity.
Ethanol vs Gasoline:
Gasoline is more "energy dense" than ethanol. This means that the higher the ethanol concentration, the lower the gas mileage. If the price is close, you should go with the pure gas. With the 10% ethanol gas that you get at most gas stations, the difference isn't as noticeable, but when you move up to E85 (15% methanol) your mileage goes to shit.

Having said that, in colder climates obviously large amounts of water can accumulate in unfortunate places within the system and cause damage due to expansion when it freezes, but you would need to get a lot of water in there.
Also, with small engines like mowers and trimmers, as long as you don't store them for long periods of time with gas in the tank you should be ok.
Ethanol is an alcohol so it will dry out rubber-type seals. Boats tend to have a lot more of these to keep all the water out. Most engine producers have switched to alcohol resistant materials with the regulation to have 10% ethanol in fuel.
Ethanol fuel actually will help to remove water that has accumulated in your gas tank as water is soluble with alcohol, but not gasoline.

Many high performance engines used in racing run on an alcohol based fuel to avoid the carbon buildup in the engine and exhaust components.
Glad to know I can refer to myself as a "high performance engine" now...at least on game days.
most of the racing fuels are methanol-based which would have very bad effects on the body; however, the booze curve still holds water (nerdy chemistry joke alert!): performance improvement up to about the 3-4 drink mark, then rapid degradation with each drink thereafter.
My golf game agrees.
where do you think I came up with the booze curve? Dat back 9 score [sad trombone]
Also, some gas tanks of dual sport and off-road motorcycles had issues with ethanol fuel eating through the plastic gas tanks when it was first put on the market.

So what you're saying is Scottie Montgomery is from Pennsylvania, home of the world's worst drivers.
Nah, PA isn't that bad. You're talking about Maryland Driver. That guy sucks.
I think you mean NoVa drivers.
And you forgot to mention that they're in the left hand lane doing 45 in a 65 while texting after merging at 25 mph and coming to a complete stop.
No, he definitely meant Maryland drivers.
My wife and I just moved from Maryland to Northern Virginia. Our auto insurance with the same company and same cars and same distance traveled per year dropped $95/month just from the move across the line because generally Virginia drivers are better.
Co-sign. Maryland drivers make Virginia drivers all look professionally trained.
which is amazing because Virginia drivers aren't all that good
*source-I am one
At least it seems that way, until you drive in a city like Atlanta, or a state like Alabama, and you realize that it can be a lot worse.
Virginia drivers > Maryland drivers, absolutely

I'll send thoughts and prayers your way as you enter the war zone. Stay safe, be alert, keep your head on a swivel, and godspeed.
Having experienced all of the above, I'll just say NM drivers take the cake. (Which is OK if there is pie to counter it)
But are NoVa drivers really Virginia drivers?
Can't speak to today's crop up there but growing up in NoVa in the 70's made me an excellent driver.... I learned how to maneuver through traffic on streets where ten pounds of traffic flowed through a five pound pipeline and sometimes you mixed in a liberal amount of Maryland drivers to really make things a challenge. As a result, I have never had an accident in traffic and avoided some collisions where passengers turned to me afterwards and asked, "How the hell did you do that?". It's all about having your head on a swivel and knowing where all the cars around you are and what those Maryland types are going to try..... And by the way....

I swear Florida drivers took some kind of "creative driving" course which the rest of sane humanity can't even fathom. And yes, India traffic is crazier but EVERYONE is on the same level there, so it's better.
When driving in Florida be prepared for anyone in any lane going any direction to suddenly turn across your lane.
Bonus story about Florida driving: my great uncle was giving my dad a ride to his country club and turned the wrong way down a divided road. The people wer swiving and honking at him, and my great uncle's response was "Everyone here knows me, see? They love me around here!"
