    I'm not gonna name the specific location of the 7-Eleven, but there's one in my area that only carded me once when I went on a cigarette run for my boss and other staffers at Puck; Now they recognize me, NEVER card me, and NEVER ask questions about who the smokes are for.

    Ironically I haven’t touched any weed since I moved to Oregon and it’s legal here. I can careless if you smoke cigarettes its your personal choice and I’m not into making peoples personal choices for them

    Been there a few times. I’m a former knicks fan and loved going there for the games on New Year’s Day. It was like a tradition. Also they always lost, so till James Dolan sells the team I’m a blazers fan

    @ABA180

    I stopped going to the Wawa in Doylestown Borough to buy cigarettes for my boss and coworkers; Not specifically because they carded me every time but because I would be buying three or four packs of cigarettes at once, all different brands (occasionally two different variations of Marlboro). First off, I would like to say that everybody I was buying smokes for was at least 25 and a few were in their forties, and I was no younger than 25 myself when I started making these almost daily smoke runs for the bar staff. The assholes at Wawa would refuse to sell smokes to anyone they knew was buying them for somebody else, and they knew there was no way in hell I smoked three or four different brands of cigarettes, and I got into many an argument over this; Eventually a well-timed death glare got the message across that it was none of their business who the cigarettes were for, but I stopped going there a short time later anyway...

    I could care less as well; Making smoke runs for busy bar staff was part of my job description, and I did it while I was on the clock making ten bucks an hour. The twatwaffles at that one Wawa on Main Street in Doylestown Borough just seemed to determined to make things difficult for me!

    I'm of the same mind, to each their own. I know plenty of people who drink, some more than others, and that's fine with me even though I abstain.

    I long thought about going for a WWF event..never did but got to see The Damned, Rancid, and the Original Misfits there.

    I could see it if they saw someone underage outside talking to you maybe but otherwise yeah that's stupid

    So I did what any capitalist consumer would do; I voted with my feet and took my business elsewhere!

    FYI, they're building a brand new Wawa with a gas station just down the street, and there's already a "for lease" sign outside the current building (I think that specific Wawa has been there since sometime in the 1970s); I think the parking lot at that Wawa totally sucks, and can't wait for the new one to open! Plus, I'm hoping it'll force the other gas stations in an and around the borough to lower their prices a little bit!

    Our temperature range here is ridiculous. Heat indexes over 100 in the summer and wind chills of -50 in the winter. Thankfully those two events don't occur on the same day. :laugh:

    After work today, I am going to the local stealership to price out a cruise control lever...

    I got the intermittent wiper stalk from this dealer (Thompson Toyota in Doylestown) as well, for just under $140; I was not comfortable swapping out the part at the time, and it just so happened that my truck was going into the body shop to have some minor damage repaired, so I got the body shop to do it and only got charged an addition in $10 in labor for it. Almost four years later, I'd say that after the backup camera it is the best money I spent on my truck!

    What's strange is that the intermittent wiper stalk was less than $140, but a headrest for my truck is about $500! I'm hoping that just the lousy cruise control lever is relatively cheap (like, $150 or less).

    Once the cruise control is installed in my truck, I will merge this thread with my MegaThread!

    Maybe even during the winter if it's mild enough; You don't need an iPod hookup, do you? Want an early 2000s Pioneer stereo CD player for the '91 Toyota pickup?

    I got one from that one guy in Oregon, along with two rather hazy OEM fog lights, but I lost the damn harness (or more than likely my dad accidentally threw it away); Can you send me a picture of what the factory harness looks like?

    I never have much luck with that because a shitload of stuff comes up; I seem to remember it being green wires with a little white plastic connector at the end?
