    I know its not really that time of year but I'm in Rome Ga a lil bit north of Atlanta for the rest of this week and a week next month. I'm looking for a way to kill some time while I'm in town. Anyone got any suggestions? Know of any hot rod/bike shops?

    I'd really like to find a pick a part somewhere in driving distance.

    Thanks!

  6. Got a good junkyard, Yarbrough's Auto Parts on Collard Valley Rd. north of Aragon, about 15 miles or so south of Rome off GA 101. Occasionally gets some older stuff and puts it up on the hill. They'll let you roam the yard and pull your own parts.

    I'd say if it was 2 months or so ago you could of watched some cotton pickers racing around, getting their last crops harvested

    What's this about the "Marietta Diner"? Sounds like maybe a place the Sock Fuckers should investigate.
    But only if they serve beer and don't mind a little rowdiness!

    It was a little more high class than I expected from a diner, but the food was killer! My boss found it on one of those food network Diner shows. The portions were huge. The country fried steak could litteraly feed 2 and I'm not a small guy. I however didn't eat the country fried steak, because...well the company was paying so why would I order something under 30 dollars? The breakfast looked kick ass and I can say that the deserts were great. You guys really know how to do it in the south!
    I can't get over the amount of old cars I'm seeing in peoples yards and driveways that look way solid compaired to what I'm used to!
