The "Jersey Shore" Dipshitz Scuzholes Guido's (That's what they call themselves) are from Staten Island, N.Y. and Yes it is law that you can't pump you're own gas. Gas in NJ has some of the lowest prices in the country.

It's 100% true. At least on the turnpikes when I got gas there. The gas pumpers were slow as shit too. Defiantly in no hurry.



Another funny thing about Jersey are the Jughandle left hand turns. You basically exit to the right to go left. I guess it's illegal to make a normal left hand turn in Jersey.

Less than it does in Maryland and you don't have to get out in the rain or cold to pump it.

It's one of the few perks to driving through NJ.

So glad I don't live within 1000 miles of that shit hole.

Here are 10 true and good TIPS from a Jersey guy:

1. Eat an Italian hot dog at Jimmy Buff's in West Orange-they were invented in New Jersey and are fantastic!

2. While in West Orange, visit Thomas Edison's home and lab museum it's incredible to see all he did

3. Visit the Pinelands-the second largest preserved area in the lower 48

Where is the Pinelands National Reserve and how big is it?
The Pinelands National Reserve, created by the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978, includes approximately 1.1 million acres encompassing portions of seven counties and all or part of 56 municipalities in the southern half of New Jersey.
Who owns the Pinelands National Reserve?
Approximately 50 percent of the Pinelands National Reserve is owned publicly. This includes Municipal, County, State, and Federal holdings and facilities. The other 50 percent is privately owned and includes home owners, farmers, business, corporations, and nonprofit organizations.
What hidden natural resource is covered by the Pinelands?
Pinelands lie above the 17.7-trillion-gallon Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer, which contain enough water to cover all of New Jersey 10 feet deep - and equal to nearly half the water consumed each year in the U.S.

4. Go to Colt's Neck and drink some Applejack at Lairds! Founded in 1780 they are the first in the US to produce apple brandy and even served George Washington

5. Make sure to eat a Taylor Ham and cheese sandwich on hard roll or English Muffin for breakfast. It's as NJ as it comes and you will love it. Don't settle for just pork roll-it must be Taylor Ham!

6. Drive East through Rumson on River Road, cross North over the Oceanic Bridge and return West on Navesink Road.
You have a good chance of running into Bruce Springsteen or Jon Bon Jovi, who both live on opposite sides of the Navesink River.
Stop and eat at the Salt Creek Grille

7. Visit downtown Princeton, it's a beautiful town and the train drops you right off there from either north Jersey or new York

8. Visit downtown Red Bank-another town with great restaurants, awesome boutiques, and a cool vibe with train service right into town. Ton's of young Wall Street'ers drink here and the hot chicks follow!

9. Stop at Rutgers University and see where so many recent NFL players came from.

10. Drive along the ocean from Pt Pleasant, through Mantoloking, Bay Head, Ortley, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park with a stop at Island Beach State park at the end. Beautiful scenery but you will also witness the lasting devastation from Hurricane Sandy.

Stay away from Atlantic City, Newark, South Orange, Paterson, Camden, and Irvington. All crime ridden ghettos that will get you killed.

:D

I got a tip for the Jersey Guy if he ever gets out west.

I kind of get #4. You go almost anywhere in this country and you let them know you're from Kansas they'll do the same tired ass joke, "You're not in Kansas anymore!" DUR DUR DUR!!!!! Never heard that one before and btw it's WE'RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE, so if you're not from Kansas or have recently been in Kansas your joke is pathetic and doesn't make sense. STFU. When I moved out to Pennsylvania and Boston they'd always pull that crap with the same goofy grin on their face as almost to say, "I'm so clever."

Those people are from Long Island, not NJ.

It's about $3.30 for gas. I'm actually not sure if it is illegal to pump your own gas. People do it themselves when they are in a rush, but there are attendants that do it. I'm not going to lie, on my first trip out to KC I had to ask somebody how to do it.

Amen to #2 and #3 in the OP though. The rest is a little bit of over-hype both from people in and out of the state. Depends on where you are too. NW NJ is very much like the midwest, North East is the suburb of NYC, and South is a mix with the shore attitude mixed in.

it blows my mind that folks can't pump their own gas there. WTF.

The pumpers must make their money in tips.


On a side note, it's obvious that I don't watch "Jersey Shore". Why do they call it that when they are from New York?

Laird's Applejack and other brandy is good stuff! Oh, and be careful about calling everyone you meet in Joisey a 'freakin' mook!' It's not Goodfellas and they seem to resent it. Also - they have a sh*tload of bears running around so don't assume it's just an Oakland fan who got lost.

Sorry but it is less than 1000 miles to East Rutherford, NJ, close but it is only 937 from Jacksonville, FL. You are only 887 miles from Trenton. Just saying. :D
