Although almost all of the businesses in Breaking Bad are real, that one doesn't seem to be. Everyone I talk to remembers a "El Pollo Loco", but not "Pollos Locos". Thry probably just changed the sign on some place, but since I didn't watch the show, I couldn't make a guess about what it really is.

You're welcome to come down and try to find it. The PCA region is going to have a Breaking Bad tour this year at the annual Porsche Fiesta in May.

I work for Comcast, and a couple weeks ago I went to a house to do an install. Odd, these people were all hovering around my van, taking photos with their thumbs up and this and that. I didn't know what was going on. Turns out it was the house filmed in that show. I didn't know. Its like a damn tourist attraction now. I'd hate to be those people.

Anyway.... 17mpg!!!!! WAHOOOO. A little better, still pathetic but were getting to tolerable numbers. This is after running a tank of the lucas fuel treatment. I've still been on it a lot, maybe not as much, but its hard not to. I just love that porsche sound.

Also, saw a Silver Boxster today. Amber signals in the headlights... Had a nice wing, hard top, some nice wheels. Was going the opposite direction.

Kinda looked like yours silver-S, on Wyoming and San Antonio going East.

I got it wrong it was Los Pollos Hermanos. And its an actual place but with a different name. A Brittish reporter did a story about visiting it. People go right from the airport to this Mexican spot and ask to sit in the booth where Gus and Walter had their meeting.
