No way am I ever going to Mexico again for anything. It’s just too dangerous. Besides, there is a Taco Bell just a few miles from me.

I love coke with lunch, and tacos are definitely what I call a lunch, not a dinner item.

I think they still make totally excellent tires.

It's kinda funny how so many people don't realize Michelin-starred restaurants comes from Michelin tires.

Michelin wanted to sell tires be getting people to drive to nice restaurants.

And, yes, for the longest time, Michelin tires were the best that you could buy. Thought I think the Japanese have caught up.

I remember being a "tire buster" for Sears Automotive back in the early 90s. After installing tires on a wheel, we'd put them on a balancing machine to see where to place the lead weights. Michelins almost never needed weights, and if they did, they needed the smallest size. They also marked where to place the tire along that valve stem for more accurate balancing. No other manufacturer did that.

Plus, their beads were the easiest to mount.

“Michelins almost never needed weights, and if they did, they needed the smallest size.”

BINGO!

[Stellar, among no shortage of superior performance on other tire attributes.]

[Tires are very complex. Most peeps have NO idea.]

Eating the garbage at Taco Bell is way more dangerous and deadly than Mexico, that’s for sure.

Mexican Coca Cola. Made with cane sugar. Sweetness and fizz over a savory taco done perfectly? I can absolutely see how that would work.

Dunno why. Sounded like a Monty Python skit, but I figured, naaah. So I googled it. Huh? Funny how the mind works.

McDonald’s had just five items once upon a time: hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, cokes, chocolate shakes. Their purity has been sacrificed on the altar of culinary diversity.

There are more in Anchorage than you would believe. I’ve also seen one in Palmer.

Because when an article is directly quoting something someone said, it’s in quotes to show the reader that is exactly what they said.
