Title: We made it to Tennessee!
Post by: TSM Girl on April 04 2006, 12:59:02 PM
Well, just letting you guys know that we have made it here safe.  Wonderful hotel living now for a few weeks until our house is done.   We pulled the GN and what looks and comments we got.  Very interesting.   A whole new world down here compared to Illinois.

Bryan's job was eliminated back in January, and accepted a job with "Goodyear Tires" in Tennessee.  They relocated us last week.  We are closing on our home May 1st so we are living in a hotel for a few weeks.   Bryan's 1st day was yesterday and he seemed pretty happy.  We got in on Friday, had our first TORNADO on Sunday evening (it hit about 40 min away) close enough!  The warm weather is GREAT!  At least I can say is that these Tennesseans know cars, because they were asking abou the GN's that we have.

Thanks........ ...we are currently living in a hotel in Union city, and our house is in Martin...(Martin is about  20 min east of Union City).  The people seem real nice here I guess it is what you call the "Southern hospitality".  Our GN's went into covered storage over the weekend....I would love to get mine out now in this weather and open her up on the 70 MPH highway!   :supz:

Take a ride on I40! Between Knoxville and Nashville stunned me. I hardly use the word beautiful but the day I took that trop I was amazed. Some of my greatest weekends were spent in TN.

Glad to hear that the move went well. I used to work for Goodyear about 12 years ago.

So what happened? They found out you bought a GN and were expecting you to use the discount for tires? Letting you go was money in their pocket.
Title: Re: We made it to Tennessee!
Post by: Recklessrob on April 04 2006, 11:57:03 PM
Actually I quit there long before I bought a GN.
The ironic thing was, while I was there I used to work on a lot of GN's and TR's.
Another tech had misdiagnosed a Powermaster system, and I had the job  of
fixing it. Later, we ended up being stuck with the parts that the other tech had ordered. They were going to throw them out, so I kept them. I had them for years.
When my neighbor who had a GN moved in, I gave them to him figuring that I'd
never afford to buy a GN myself. A few years later, my neighbor decided to move,
and asked me if I wanted to buy the GN. So, I ended up getting the parts back with the car.

I am sure it 's good, I will take your word on it, but "No Thanks"......I'll pass...our realtor called last night and is taking us out for dinner, and he always wants to take us to "resturaunts with great Plate specials"......for some odd reason,  the other "BIG" thing out here are "Plate specials"?????    I don't get it.....

Expect homestyle cooking. Chicked fried steak, greens, cornbread, lima beans, maybe catfish (all you can eat). The plate specials are a big ass plate of food for like $5.

Crawfish...you eat shrimp? Lobster? Crawfish taste WAY better! The world doesnt know because there scared of them.

WhereTF is Brian at anyways?

My wife is originally from Itasca/Schaumburg and there are a few words that betray a slight Chicago accent. Plus, her and her family are the only people in NM who say "frontroom". (Pronounced "fronchroom")

Go a little farther south and soda turns to coke. Even if they want a 7-up, they call it coke.

I love TN, I lived in Clarksville for a number of years and hope to return to TN to retire.  There are quite a few TRs in TN...they're just not organized or anything.  Also, Shelbyville has one very meticulous and exceptional TR mechanic.

It was the first day of crawfish season yesterday and a gas station in town had a boil(pretty redneck, huh?)...17 bucks for 5 lbs.  Me and a friend of mine tore em up, and prolly coulda ate another 2 more lbs...The ACT fucked me up i missed the KA crawfish boil at MSU, coulda got fucked up and ate more.

Exactly as BE4U said, we call it coke in houston or simply a drink

We had HUGE crawdads ponds in the river bottom over here. We fished those ponds dry one summer as kids. Didn't eat them either, it's a damn shame.

Up here, they're called crayfish. I've seen them a few times, but didn't know that they were edible at the time. I didn't find out until my cousins from GA started talking about them.
