10 Ways Games are Different at Angel Stadium versus Dodger Stadium
Angel Stadium Is Cheaper
Angel stadium has the lowest per-game prices on season tickets, averaging $9.80 each and reasonably priced parking at $10 upon arrival— that's the Dodgers' $20 parking fee right there! (However, Dodger parking is $10 when purchased online) With the ten bucks you save on parking at Angel Stadium, you can buy yourself and a buddy a beer for $4.50 each while Dodger Stadium's brews come out to $6.25 each. Don't forget: having beer without a hot dog at the ballpark is sinful. Thankfully, the Angel dog is priced at a meager $4.50, while a Dodger Dog comes in at $5.50. Perhaps the Dodger's $236 million payroll (in comparison to the Angels' $146 million payroll) factors into Dodger stadium's pricier ticket and parking sales?
Dodger Stadium Has Better Food
Sorry Halos fans, but Cracker Jacks and peanuts just don't cut it anymore. Angel Stadium can't seem to compete with the eclectic Dodger menu of elotes, bacon-wrapped hot dogs, meatball marinara sandwiches, and other gourmet yet ballpark casual eats. Shiet, I wouldn't be surprised to even see Guisados move into Chavez Ravine in the near future
Angel Stadium is Easier to Get In and Out Of
While both stadiums are adjacent to major freeways, the Orange Crush's traffic is nonexistent compared to the Bermuda Triangle that is the 110, 5, and 101 freeways. It may take around 45 minutes to make it out of Dodger Stadium's parking lot, while exiting Angel stadium only takes about 10 to 15 minutes, usually.

They Do Have Their Issues
BMW Engines Are Gigantic Pieces Of Shit
If you move to more late model stuff, the situation gets a bit more dire. Let’s take the E46 M3, for example. It featured a 333-horsepower naturally aspirated inline six cylinder engine that was more unreliable than an AA meeting sponsored by Miller Lite. These engines were were plagued with connecting rod bearing failures, issues with the variable cam timing (VANOS), crankcase ventilation failures, hard starting, and their cooling systems were made of plastic and sealed, ensuring catastrophic failure where scalding hot coolant would shoot out of your engine bay, overheating your engine, at which point your head gasket would blow.
The same goes for every M-branded car that BMW has made in the last decade, and these problems are well-documented. The E60 M5's V10 will chew through its rod bearings in less than 60,000 miles and has rampant and costly SMG pump failures. The E92 M3 will also devour its rod bearings in short order. The new M3 and M4 engines have crank hub failures that take the engine out of sync and smash the valves into the pistons. They also suffer from oil cooler issues, in which overheating is a valid concern, especially if you’re the kind of person that drives your car like the PR reps claim you can around a track.

It's Always Worth The Extra Effort
How To Spend A Glorious Summer Afternoon Detailing Your Car The Right Way
A few key things to keep in mind before you start:
A few key things to keep in mind before you start:
- Try not to park in direct sunlight. This evaporates the water very quickly and leaves water spots.
- Remove any jewelry on your fingers or wrists, and make sure you don’t have anything metal on your person that could scratch the car if you brush up against it. Things like necklaces, zippers or buttons.
- If you drop any claybar, microfiber towel or sponge on the ground, do not reuse it. Once it’s hit the ground, it will pick up all kinds of grit that will scratch your car if you continue cleaning with it. You’ll need to wash the sponge or the microfiber towel thoroughly before using it again.
- Top to bottom, always! Spray and soap from top to bottom because then you won’t spread dirt around as much.
- Be conscious about not cross-contaminating towels and sponges. A towel used on your rims should not be used for anything else. Likewise, a buffer pad that has scratch remover on it shouldn’t be used to wax, either.

The Best Food City in Every State
California: San Francisco
With apologies to the fish tacos and Cali burritos of SD, and the Dodger Dogs, Apple Pan burgers, and French dips
of LA, and that one place in Sacramento that gives you a giant thing of
burnt cheese with your burger, San Francisco still wears the food
princess tiara in the Golden State. Is it a shock that chefs almost
unconsciously cite NYC and SF in the same sentence when they discuss
going to a city to learn how to really cook? Is it strange that, despite
its relatively middle-of-the-road population size (13th in the country
behind Austin and Jacksonville), it is the most restaurant-dense city in
America and routinely cleans up at national Beard Awards?
Should we start name-dropping now? How about the internationally lauded food at Al's Place, State Bird Provisions, and Mission Chinese? Insanely good pizzas from Del Popolo, Tony's, and Flour + Water? The best burritos in the world at La Taqueria and El Farolito?
Crazy-delicious baked goods everywhere, including kouign amann at b.
patisserie (which basically started a national kouign amann trend,
despite the fact that no one can pronounce it)? Can we stop asking
rhetorical questions now and move on to another state?
Nevada: Las Vegas
We were originally going to say Tahoe. Then we thought about Reno. And
then we decided we're not assholes, but debated making a joke about
buffets... but come on. We're better than that. So is Vegas...
and if you need us to tell you it's more than shrimp cocktail and
getting side-eyed by a guy named Lefty, well, maybe Reno is all you
deserve. We hear the buffets are nice.

That's A Great Nickname For The 2016 British Open
BRITISH OPEN
Duel of the 'sons. What a duel it was. Phil Mickelson opened his week at Royal Troon with an 8-under 63 that was oh-so-close to being the first 62 ever recorded in a major championship history, only to watch Henrik Stenson shoot the same score on Sunday to beat him by three.
Jack Nicklaus took to Twitter the next day and said he thought the golf between Mickelson and Stenson was better than his famous Duel in the Sun with Tom Watson. High praise.
