    I had my first deep fried turkey today. Fuck me I could eat that every day.

    Wow, I'm surprised more people haven't done this before. At the last place I lived, we did this a few years ago, with a much less clean engine hoist and a much bigger driveway.

    Remeber, keep that oil between 320 and 350 degrees Fahrenheit. And use peanut oil, not 10W-30

    @HoonThatFerrari: EpiPen Jr.... makes me think of some sort of NASCAR team or something.

    Also, has anyone ever fried a turkey in leftover bacon fat? I'd think that'd be unbelievably awesome.

    @BaconSandwich and the generic grey civic of doom: Sounds like a delicious idea, but I don't think my arteries could take the amount of bacon needed to generate enough fat for frying the turkey. It's no fun if you're not around to enjoy it. Maybe just stuff all that bacon inside the turkey? Hmmm....

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

    @Mobius: Peanut oil has a very high smoke point, caramelizes the bird's skin very nicely, and has a great flavor. Good call. You can filter the oil after the turkey is done and use it to cook up french fries...

    @VeeArrrSix: Or filter it and use it to run your 5 cylinder turbodiesel benz.

    Hmmm...I wonder if burning nut oil in a diesel car would cause an allergic reaction to someone who was allergic? That'd be a fun experiment. People with nut allergies are pretty freaky, the sensitivity in some of them is through the roof.

    In reply to Five Best And Worst Black Friday New Car Deals
    I've noticed that Chinese motorcycles are probably the most expensive motorcycle purchase you can possibly make. You buy in low, but parts cost quickly mount.

    Better to buy a battered old Virago. It'll run longer and you won't be in such a hot hurry to move up to a bigger bike.

    Also: Kudos to Bumbeck devising a way to safely drop the turkey into the grease. My way is to get my brother in law to do it.

    Also: Knoxville TN cops are screening crazy hard - go five miles over the limit and you'll get flagged. I don't think there'd be more cops on the roads if they thought we were being invade by the Taliban.

    Also in Knoxville: Jim Cogdill Dodge is trying to sell brand new, never sold, 2008 Dodge and Chrysler products at $13,000. Still got the whole warranty, it's still a brand-new car at a used car price. It might be a better deal, assuming Chrysler's still around in five years for parts support.

    I suppose, if you paid somebody else to maintain and insure your turkey, and all you had to do was gas it up occasionally:-

    You could call it a turn-key turkey?

    I'll just go.

    In reply to Ten New Cars Jalopnik Is Thankful For
    I'd have included the corncob car in the list. It's light, aerodynamic, has a pedestrian-friendly skin, and can be constructed from renewable materials.

    Best of all, any cornfed kid in the heartland can make their very own car.

    Not so sure lemon wheels would be good for an open-air car -- at least without wearing goggles.

    @[jalopnik.com] @skaycog: And here I was going to go with "driver mod required".....

    A happy Thanksgiving to all!Given that this is Thanksgiving, we should count our blessings. I, for one, am thankful for the little things: the sound of a big V8 at WOT. The occational Ford GT roaming the streets. The way the sun glints off Ferrari red or that Porsche yellow on a summer afternoon. The sound of tires trying to hold on to the tarmac at 1 G. The smell of brakes after the best run of the day.

    But, today, I'm most thankful for turkey. Why? Because I haven't had any yet, and it has put everyone else asleep, leaving the roads quite empty on a beautiful, sunny day.

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go remind myself why I'm thankful for M3s...

    In reply to Kill The Headlights And Put It In Neutral: Why The Parking Lot Matters
    Wal-Mart parking lots are nice because you walk in the store, buy your oil, oil filter and then change your vehicles oil right there in the parking lot. If you’re really savvy you can park over a drainage grate so the mess isn’t quite so big. This also works for antifreeze change outs, rear-end lube jobs and transmission oil changes, but if it’s an automatic you’ll need to buy a transmission filter somewhere else, because Wal-Mart doesn’t sale those,....yet.
