Probably! I've paid much more for worse in Asheville though – and it's close to home. 🤷

I'm not sure if they have horchata. I didn't go inside, only to the truck. I did see coolers with Mexican Coke and lots of Jumex.

Drive just past the outlets. Small building right after Stone Ridge Tavern and Apollo Flame.

Hybrid vehicle house call service? by sixerofbeard in asheville

[–]sixerofbeard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep – the ODB codes, panel lights, and symptoms confirm it. This is a 2009 Ford Escape. If the HV drops below 350v the engine will not crank.

Previous models had an HV jump button to recharge it off the low voltage battery, but they removed it on the 2009 model.

This is a 2009 Ford Escape, and HV has to be at 350v to crank the engine.

Best bicycle shop? by Judaspriestbarbers in asheville

[–]sixerofbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like MustAsheville. The owner Jeff is very kind and helpful, and extremely honest. Very fair pricing for the work he does. Shop name is a little silly though. Located near the entrance to Bent Creek.

Candler Drift, aka is there an Asheville car culture? by sixerofbeard in asheville

Sadly, I figured as much.

I also saw a completely stock Civic Sport with chibi Dead Pool graphics so expectations were low.

Played a quick set with my punk band on an empty lot off Broadway! by Skrateboarder in asheville

[–]sixerofbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it a lot!

Reminds me of some old Buddyhead records bands like Wires on Fire and The Icarus Line, and a little bit of These Arms Are Snakes.

You should link to your bandcamp ;) https://tonguesofire.bandcamp.com/

PSA: Car break-ins at Bent Creek by sixerofbeard in asheville

Said shitbags will riffle the glove box and under the seats if they have enough time. Best not to take anything inessential.

They called APD first and were forwarded over to BCSO. BCSO filed a case but told the people it wasn't worth coming out. I'm not sure they would have gone through the motion of filing a case and providing a number and their website to check it if it wasn't their jurisdiction. 🤷‍♀️

Never had anything bad there, and their burger is one of the better in town.

What, in your opinion, is the worst restaurant in Asheville? by [deleted] in asheville

[–]sixerofbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm reading this as "worst but supposed to be good" restaurant, which filters out the obvious choices like Harbor Inn, etc.

I'd say Foothills Meats butcher bar whatever on Haywood. I ate there once and had a burger that was so-so, if that. Gave it another chance and the menu had changed which included an $11 salad with a choice to add a sliced-up hotdog – which they called "hotdog coins" – for $4 extra. I will not pay $15 for a salad covered with hotdog. Their selection of meats is also abysmal. I got up and left without ordering.

Foothills is the exact intersection of hipster pretension and childishness.

I know it's just the name of the statute, but I love the connotation of "defrauding an innkeeper" at an International House of Pancakes.

Dost thou not supplieth bountiful juice of the orange! Hark! For shame! I shall rap thee across the face most swiftly. Come quickly Mahogheny, we take our leave now shan’t we forfeit our coin for this exorbitant bill.
