Oil change and burgers

So, I looked at my Odometer and I noticed something: this car has travelled for 140,753 miles. I thought "heh, for a car that as old as this (2000 Corolla), it runs really well!"

But for some reason, something bugged me: that I should be doing something about the mileage. So I reached into the glove compartment and checked the car's maintenance log when's the next oil change should be.

And the next oil change was suppose to happen when it hits 140,311 miles.

Richie, you idiot.

So, it was the weekend and I just got done with Midterms week, I decided to head to Walmart's Automotive corner and get an oil change. Selected the "High Mileage" option ($45) and was told to wait for 45 minutes so there was a couple of vehicles ahead of me which I didn't mind.

It was 2PM and decided to get some lunch. I looked around and checked what's a nice place to eat (got sick and tired of eating McDonalds)... there's TGIFriday's across the street, a Subway place, a buffet place (since across Walmart is Sam's Town and The Cannery Casino).

And then, I noticed that within the commercial center where I was, I saw this burger place called "Tommy's". It piqued my interest since I was kind of wanting to eat at Tommy Rockers (which is actually a bar/restaurant/live band venue place and in turn, I confused it with Fuddruckers... I'm such a nub) for a while now.

So I went in, and looked around and it's a nice place. Very comfy. I looked at the menu and it's a chilli-and-burger combo as their spiel. Ordered Combo number 1(Double Cheeseburger with Chilli, Chilli Cheese Fries and a large Coke).

Et voila:

I have to say their chilli is better than Carl's Jr's chilli cheese fries, hands down. The double cheese burger tastes good as well. That double slice of american cheese gives the chilli more consistency as for as texture goes, I actually liked it.

Though by the time I got to the bottom of that fries, it's already soaked in oil which I decided not to finish the damn thing. I think I'm going to bring my brother here when we're craving for a nice burger. It's not far from our place either.

As for my favorite burger joint list, it's as follows:

1.) In-and-Out Burger. The best burger there is. And their fries, ohgawds. Awesome.
2.) Cheeburger Cheeburger. a close second to In-and-Out. Awesome Onion Rings and their uber selection of Milkshakes.
3.) Tommy's. A California favorite. With several locations here in Vegas. Love their chilli-and-burger combo.
4.) That burger place in Yokosuka (it's close to the US Navy base). Shit, I forgot the name. The place is very small with that weird old school feel. Burgers are nice and juicy, but portions are small for me so I have to order twice. Dammit, I forgot the name.


I still need to try out Fuddruckers, i love burgers and the five guys burgers place.

As for the rest of the list, I just got to include those "other" burger places BUT, I will reserve slots 5, 6 and 7 for the other three places that I just mentioned so I'll skip to the last four of my list.

8.) Carl's Jr. Their Six-Dollar Burgers are the bomb, hah.
9.) Wendy's. Salty as fuck but, their burgers are ok for a quick fix.
10.) McDonalds. You hate it, you love it, whatever.
11.) Burger King. Makes my stomach churn whenever I eat their fries. And being the idiot that I am, I still order the meal set whenever I go on their Drive-Thru whenever I'm hungry and on my way to work.

Oh, right. The oil change. Anyways, got my car back and was told to change my car battery. Need to get one ASAP. Shit, and I still need to check my brakes too.
