    Can't post the link because I'm on my phone, but the Flying J burned to the ground in El Paso. Culprit? Wait for it........

    Humm.....seems to be a pattern here.
    If I were their insurance carrier I'd be like, "ok look....."

    That's was Jimmy Haslam's way of remodeling his truck stops. I guess Warren Buffett learned from him.

    Sooner or later they have to run out of Flying J and Pilot travel centers to burn down!!

    The only thing the fire is going to do is make the smell of piss bottles and s*** bags even more rancid!!!:puke:

    I’m glad it wasn’t the Pilot across the highway. I like going to Whataburger when I’m there.
     
    D.Tibbitt and mjd4277 Thank this.

    ####. I’m going through there on Sunday and was planning on parking for the night, figuring that my odds on getting a space were pretty good with 3 truck stops right there. Now I guess it’s 2 truck stops…
