In Vehicle Device Mounting Solutions

I have installed more than my fair share of devices / device mounts in various vehicles for my wife and me. I always end up taking way too much time to remove/reinstall the panels and/or dash components, what a pain. Well, I think I have found a very good alternative, www.ProClipUSA.com, their mounts slip into the seams between panel sections of the dashboard and provide a nice tight fit. They also have a full complement of device specific holders. I just ordered a setup for my iPhone and will report back after it arrives and gets installed.

The Secret In-N-Out Burger Menu Items

In-N-Out Burger has a secret unpublished menu for insiders who are in-the-know.

Normal Burgers:

  • "X-by-Y" = X meat patties and Y slices of cheese. I.e.:
  • "3-by-3" = three meat patties and three slices of cheese.
  • "4-by-4" = four meat patties and four slices of cheese.
  • "2-by-4" = two meat patties and four slices of cheese.
    *Note: You may get a burger with the exact number of meat patties or cheese slices you want (up to 4x4). Just tell the In-N-Out Burger cashier how many meat patties and how many cheese slices you want. For instance, if you want 4 pieces of meat and 3 pieces of cheese tell them you want a "4-by-3."
  • "Double Meat" = a Double Double without cheese.
  • "X-by-Meat Burger" = X meat patties (up-to four) and no cheese slices, so a "3 by Meat" = three meat patties and no cheese slices.
Special Burgers:
  • "Animal Style" = the meat is cooked and fried with mustard and then pickles are added, extra spread and grilled onions are added.
  • "Protein Style" = for all you low-carbohydrate dieters, this is a burger with no bun (wrapped in lettuce).
  • "Flying Dutchman" = two meat patties, two slices of melted cheese and nothing else - not even a bun!
  • "Grilled Cheese" = no meat, just melted cheese, tomato, lettuce and spread on a bun.
  • "Veggie Burger" = burger with double tomatoes but no patty or cheese. Sometimes called the "Wish Burger."

Customize your burger:
  • "Medium Rare" meat
  • "Triple Everything" will get you extra lettuce, tomatoes and onions.
  • "Whole Grilled Onion"
  • "Only" designates no spread
  • "Extra Toast" leaves your bread on the grill a tad longer resulting in “crispy buns.”
  • "Light Toast" opposite of Extra Toast.
  • "Chopped Chilies" adds some mild pickled peppers to the bottom of your burger or fries.
  • "Mustard and/or Ketchup" can be substituted for the spread.
  • "Fried Mustard" is fried mustard with pickles and can be added to your burger or fries.

Fries:

  • "Animal Style Fries" = fries topped with cheese, spread, grilled onions and pickles (if you ask for them).
  • "Cheese Fries" = fries with one or two slices of melted cheese.
  • Fries "Well-Done" = extra crispy fries . . . even better than the regular!
  • Fries "Light" = opposite of fries well-done, more raw than most people like 'em

Drinks:

  • Large and extra large shakes are available, the cup sizes for these shakes are one below soft drink sizes.
  • "Neapolitan" Shake = strawberry, vanilla and chocolate swirled together — not blended.
  • "Root Beer Float" specify whether you want it more creamy or soda-ey.
  • "Around the world" is an order containing a shake of each flavor.
