I'm sorry to report that the latest FatGuy trip has been cancelled. Picture, if you will three FatGuys driving to Indianapolis - approximately four hours - in a Neon. What could be the motivation for such a non-roomy trip? Sonic, of course. Now that the one in Fort Wayne is closed, the nearest Sonic is in Indy. Only the lure of the cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper, cherry limeaid, tater tots, and cream pie shake could put the FatGuys in such a compromising position. The case that was made for cramming into the Neon was that it gets 32 miles to the gallon... however, I am certain that that number does NOT apply when the load limit of the vehicle is maxed out! Anyhow, the Guys got cold feet and opted instead for a trip to their other favorite destination, Famous Dave's Barbecue in Grand Rapids. A much shorter drive, and larger portions. And of course... the trip wasn't complete without a stop for ice cream afterwards!
Anyhow, the Guys decided to make a Western Michigan day out of it, and their bulk ended up serving them very well. They ventured out onto the pier in Grand Haven during a very windy day... and the only thing that saved them from being swept into Lake Michigan by the crashing waves was, of course, their impressive heft! One of the many reasons why being a FatGuy is so indisputably awesome.
