Mormon capital of the world. You'll probably need to change that to a Hot Chocolate.

Lol, it's been a strange visit so far. People seem to have NO idea where anything is.

I have seen a few very good looking old Volvo's here so far. And a shock to me, no rust on anything yet.

My wife keeps talking about picking up a few more husbands. Lol Not sure how that reflects on my manhood.

Wait until your spouse tells you that the homebrew beer you made is better than sex.....Don't know whether to take that as a compliment or a complaint!!

What are you asking? It sure wasn't 'Where are the Rockies?'


I believe its the other way around. Husband takes on multiple wives. Let her know that ....keep her in line.

LOL, I keep trying to explain that to her. She simply doesn't agree.

Besides that, had a great time sharing with T5-Rennen. Had a great shake and seen a pretty clean Yellow. Time to turn in for a long day tomorrow.

Thumbs up

RSPI,

It was great meeting you last night and I'm glad you enjoyed the MilkShake bar! It was also fun embarrassing that Corvette owner last night. Your T-5R wagon is the perfect stealth bomber

I highly encourage meeting RSPI on his great american road trip! You have a friend in the SLC!!!

Have a safe drive back home and try to drive the speed limit

BTW - Having multiple wife's does have its benefits

Right now I'm in Sioux Falls SD. THIS morning I pumped Chevron and got 25 mpg. Then I pumped Phillips 66 and got 29 mpg. After that I pumped Exxon and only got 23 mpg. So, when this tank is out tomorrow (or later today) I'm going back with Phillips 66 to see what happens.
