    Where is the place in Indiana that has 2 Pilots directly across from each other on the same highway? That place got me more than once.

    Rival Pilots.. I see it now...
    "OYR COFFEE TASTES BETTER!"
    "WE HAVE BETTER FUEL!"
    "CLEANER SHOWERS!"
    "A ARBY'S!"
    "GRAB AND GO!"
    etc, etc, etc. Be funny as hell if one had cheaper fuel than the other...
    Confuses me.

    In Florida on i75 there is an exit with two pilots and a loves. I can't remember the exit number but its state road 326. One pilot has arbys, the other has Wendy's. The loves has subway I believe, but anyway, my fuel stop was one of the pilots. So I asked myself, which one? So I chose the one with a Wendy's and turns out, on the sign that pilot was $4.19/gallon and the one a cross the street? Yup, different price...$4.22/gallon........

    I'm thinking someone screwed up cuz the gasoline prices were the same at both. I had a good laugh though.

    Here's a good one. The tyson factory in amarillo(I think?)texas. Where you turn in theres a turn that slightly goes to the right, and theres a turn thats like a regular corner. Well I took the slightly turn right and there's that HUUUGE hole. Lol. I asked the guy at the guard shack how many people do that. He said it was a regular
    occurence. Like a welcoming bump for first timers through there hahah.
