			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saturday was the <a href="http://www.worstpizza.com/2010/03/worstpizza-com-and-chevy-team-up-for-first-ever-south-florida-chevypizzacrawl/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.worstpizza.com/2010/03/worstpizza-com-and-chevy-team-up-for-first-ever-south-florida-chevypizzacrawl/?referer=');">Chevy Pizza Crawl</a> and I was lucky enough to be <a href="http://www.worstpizza.com/2010/03/winners-of-the-first-ever-chevy-pizza-crawl-chevypizzacrawl/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.worstpizza.com/2010/03/winners-of-the-first-ever-chevy-pizza-crawl-chevypizzacrawl/?referer=');">selected</a> as one of the&#8230; crawlers.</p>
<p>The event was, essentially, WorstPizza.com taking their famous Pizza TweetUps to the next level by teaming up with a local Chevy dealership. 20 people were selected to ride in five brand new Chevy&#8217;s to various pizza restaurants, eat pizza, drive the cars and critique both.</p>
<p>We all met up at <a href="http://www.maroonechevroletofdelray.com/AboutSpecials?promo=truckmonth_form&amp;cs:a=2010_chevy_tm_w&amp;cs:e=g&amp;cs:gn=s&amp;cs:cid=4798620396&amp;cs:kw=chevrolet%20dealers%20delray&amp;cs:p=&amp;cs:tv=210&amp;cs:ki=35211402" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.maroonechevroletofdelray.com/AboutSpecials?promo=truckmonth_form_amp_cs_a=2010_chevy_tm_w_amp_cs_e=g_amp_cs_gn=s_amp_cs_cid=4798620396_amp_cs_kw=chevrolet_20dealers_20delray_amp_cs_p=_amp_cs_tv=210_amp_cs_ki=35211402&amp;referer=');">Maroone Chevrolet</a> to get our t-shirts, sign some waivers and dig through our Chevy Pizza Crawl Survival Kits, fully equipped with pizza cutters, floss, hand sanitizer, tissues, whoopee cushions, a compass, breath mints, gum, whistles and much more fun stuff!</p>

<div id="attachment_677" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-677" title="1" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rachel (@PRDivaRach)</p></div>
<p>We then went outside to meet our escorts for the day: a <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/tahoe/pictures/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.chevrolet.com/tahoe/pictures/?referer=');">Tahoe</a>, a <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/malibu/pictures/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.chevrolet.com/malibu/pictures/?referer=');">Malibu</a>, an <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/equinox/pictures/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.chevrolet.com/equinox/pictures/?referer=');">Equinox</a>, a <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette-zr1/pictures/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.chevrolet.com/corvette-zr1/pictures/?referer=');">Corvette</a> (convertible) and a <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/camaro/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.chevrolet.com/camaro/?referer=');">Camaro</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/jarret23" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/jarret23?referer=');">Jarret</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/thealina" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/thealina?referer=');">Alina</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/beahbunnie" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/beahbunnie?referer=');">Leah</a> and I piled into the Camaro and immediately named her Roxy. That car is just as sexy on the inside as it is on the outside. We had to test the <a href="http://www.onstar.com/us_english/jsp/index.jsp" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.onstar.com/us_english/jsp/index.jsp?referer=');">OnStar</a> feature on every car so we called OnStar, asked the operator for directions to our destination and the car was suddenly speaking to us, telling us where to go.</p>
<div id="attachment_678" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-678" title="2" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jarret (@Jarret23) and Alina (@TheAlina)</p></div>
<p>Jarret showed off his driving skills as he quickly got us on the highway &#8211; naturally, everyone driving wanted to test the cars&#8217; potential once we were on I-95. Here&#8217;s a tip: while the Camaro is an amazing car, even from the the backseat, tweeting, taking pictures and video taping everyone&#8217;s reactions can get a little nauseating. I had to put all the electronic devices down and breath for a little bit or I&#8217;d be the first person to throw up&#8230; even before eating all the pizza! Regardless of that little set back, I&#8217;m in love with the car.</p>
<p>We got to our first destination, <a href="http://www.zuccarellis.com/index.php" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.zuccarellis.com/index.php?referer=');">Zuccarelli&#8217;s Italian Kitchen</a>, where the pizza was ok. It good enough to gobble up, but not enough to ask for seconds. It had a thin crust and was crunchy &#8211; not my type, but still tasty.</p>
<p>Next adventure: I was up to drive the Equinox! Jarret, <a href="http://twitter.com/steph_rose" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/steph_rose?referer=');">Stephanie</a>, Alina and <a href="http://twitter.com/angiedi" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/angiedi?referer=');">Angie</a> came along with me.</p>
<div id="attachment_679" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-679" title="3" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/3-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Me (@AgustinaP)</p></div>
<p>I called OnStar to get directions and the operator told me that my car wasn&#8217;t equipped with their directions feature. I felt left out in the cold and driving blind! She asked if I wanted to upgrade to that feature for $9.95&#8230; uh, no thanks, but at least now I know that the feature is cheap! I had no choice but to follow the Camaro. Bad move. I floored that little sporty-looking SUV and still couldn&#8217;t keep up. Even Stephanie asked if I was flooring it. I think I made it up to 60 MPH &#8211; way too slow for my liking.</p>
<p>A really cool feature about the car though: when I put the car in reverse and looked in the rear view mirror, not only was I glancing behind me, but at a little video camera that turned on to show me what I was backing in to. I was torn! Do I believe my eyes in the mirror that said I was about to hit the car behind me, or the camera that showed I still had about two feet of space?!</p>
<p>We arrived at our second destination, <a href="http://www.palmspringspizza.net/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.palmspringspizza.net/?referer=');">Palm Springs Pizza &amp; Restaurant</a>, where everyone gave the pizza a thumbs down. I didn&#8217;t mind it because it took me back to my childhood &#8211; I thought it tasted the same as Chuck E Cheese pizza. My only flaw with it is that I can&#8217;t stand when pizza is cut into squares and not slices.</p>
<div id="attachment_680" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-680" title="4" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/4-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Stephanie (@MidTownChica) and Angie (@AngieDi)</p></div>
<p>I called shotgun for the Malibu and had to listen to <a href="http://twitter.com/alishavera" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/alishavera?referer=');">Alisha</a> grill me for convincing her to drive that car when she wanted to drive the Corvette &#8211; oops <img src='http://agustinaprigoshin.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Jarret, Angie and <a href="http://twitter.com/joelkodner" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/joelkodner?referer=');">Joel</a> came along for the slow, but fun ride. Alisha took advantage of an unhappy situation and asked the OnStar operator for some &#8220;rolls of hundreds.&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_681" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/5.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-681" title="5" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/5-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Alisha (@AlishaVera)</p></div>
<p>We drove, slowly, very slowly, to our third destination, <a href="http://www.domandlouiespizza.com/index.php" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.domandlouiespizza.com/index.php?referer=');">Dom &amp; Louie&#8217;s Pizza</a> where the pizza was finger-licking good, but a little too hot. Their Godfather Pizza is huge!</p>
<div id="attachment_682" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/6.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-682" title="6" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/6-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mike (@MikeLaMonica)</p></div>
<p>Filled to rim with pizza, I went back into the Camaro. <a href="http://twitter.com/mikelamonica" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/mikelamonica?referer=');">Mike</a> drove with <a href="http://twitter.com/dorizinn" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/dorizinn?referer=');">Dori</a> co-piloting and Angie and I held on for dear life in the back seat as Mike decided to race <a href="http://twitter.com/johnnybond86" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/johnnybond86?referer=');">Johnny</a> in his Equinox down I-95. I wonder what other drivers might have been thinking to see those two, oddly-paired cars race each other. I was in dire need of a barf bag and highly recommend Chevy to include one in their Survival Kit for the next time. While I managed to hold my food down, I decided to not eat anymore pizza for the day.</p>
<div id="attachment_683" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/7.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-683" title="7" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/7-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Johnny (@JohnnyBond86) and Willie (@MoreWillie)</p></div>
<p>I had to go back on my word as soon as we got to our fourth stop, <a href="http://findlocal.sun-sentinel.com/boca-raton/restaurants/italian/augys-restaurant-and-pizza-boca-raton-restaurant" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/findlocal.sun-sentinel.com/boca-raton/restaurants/italian/augys-restaurant-and-pizza-boca-raton-restaurant?referer=');">Augy&#8217;s Italian Restaurant &amp; Pizza</a>. Their pizza was super doughy and loaded with cheese! I took one bite just to satisfy my taste buds and called it quits, but wow, was that one bite the best I had all day!</p>
<div id="attachment_684" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/8.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-684" title="8" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/8-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Michael (@TheWaffle), Joel (@JoelKodner), Seth (@BocaToyStore) and Robert (@Krow272)</p></div>
<p>I then jumped into the super sexy Corvette with Alina and zoomed towards our final stop. Our zooming was quickly slowed down when we realized that OnStar took us in the wrong direction and we had no idea how to get to where everyone else was. It was also impossible to hear OnStar&#8217;s directions while having the convertible top down.</p>
<div id="attachment_685" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/9.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-685" title="9" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/9-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Alina (@TheAlina)</p></div>
<p>Eventually, we made it to <a href="http://tuccispizza.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/tuccispizza.com/?referer=');">Tucci&#8217;s Fire N Coal</a> where all I ingested was water.</p>
<p>We all survived the Chevy Pizza Crawl and were kicking back with some beer, water, a few more slices of pizza and recaps of the day.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/lapp" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/lapp?referer=');">Craig</a> then gave out prizes for the day: Joel won funniest tweet, I won for honesty, Jarret won for funniest picture, <a href="http://twitter.com/morewillie" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/morewillie?referer=');">Willie</a> won the raffle and Johnny won for craziest driver.</p>
<div id="attachment_687" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/101.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-687" title="10" src="http://agustinaprigoshin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/101-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Angie (@AngieDi), Joel (@JoelKodner), Craig (@Lapp), Stephanie (@MidTownChica), Me (@AgustinaP), Jarret (@Jarret23), Willie (@MoreWillie) and Johnny (JohnnyBond23)</p></div>
<p>It was a fun-filled day with friends, pizza and cars. What better way is there to spend your Saturday?</p>
<p>My review of the cars:</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t go in the Tahoe because I&#8217;m just not SUV person and didn&#8217;t care to test it out.</p>
<p>The Malibu and Equinox are clearly family cars. Their inability to go over 60 MPH also makes me believe they&#8217;re perfect for a first time teenage driver and if my kids are anything like me as drivers, they&#8217;re definitely getting a Malibu or Equinox.</p>
<p>The Corvette is nice, but I don&#8217;t like two-seated cars or cars with long noses.</p>
<p>The Camaro is hands-down my favorite car. My VW lease is up in two months and I plan on checking out the Camaro soon <img src='http://agustinaprigoshin.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thank you Chevy and Worst Pizza for a great day and experience!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not too long ago, <a href="http://twitter.com/frugalista" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/twitter.com/frugalista?referer=');">Natalie P. McNeal</a> posted a contest on her blog, <a href="http://www.thefrugalista.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.thefrugalista.com/?referer=');">The Frugalista</a>, for a set of tickets for a special event. I took my chances and answered her question &#8211; and I won!!</p>
<p>I received tickets to <a href="http://www.monsterjamonline.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.monsterjamonline.com?referer=');">Monster Jam</a> courtesy of <a href="http://www.rbbpr.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.rbbpr.com/?referer=');">rbb Public Relations</a>.</p>
<p>Since I was a kid, I&#8217;ve always wanted to go to Monster Jam but never asked my parents because I didn&#8217;t think they&#8217;d take me. I&#8217;ve always liked cars and destruction &#8211; this show is a perfect combination.</p>
<p>On Saturday, February 20, I arrived at <a href="http://www.sunlifestadium.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.sunlifestadium.com/?referer=');">Sun Life Stadium</a> before the show to check out the Pit Party. I tried the BBQ Nachos &#8211; I&#8217;m sorry, I didn&#8217;t <em>try</em> them, I annihilated them! A basket of nachos loaded with cheese and pulled BBQ pork, gone within five minutes.</p>
<p>I walked around the pit and admired the monstrous trucks. There were immense lines of people beside each truck waiting to get an autograph from the driver. I didn&#8217;t care much for an autograph because I didn&#8217;t know the drivers, but if I had gone to the Pit Party after the show, I would&#8217;ve been the first in line for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Toro_Loco_(truck)" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Toro_Loco_truck?referer=');">El Toro Loco</a>.</p>
<p>El Toro Loco quickly became my favorite as I watched the giant, orange, horned beast in awe&#8230; from my ninth row seat! I can&#8217;t thank my best friend enough for giving me ear plugs before the show because my naive self didn&#8217;t think twice about the amount of noise the show would create.</p>
<p>The first part of the show where the trucks raced each other was OK. Then came the freestyle motocross daredevils whose tricks made me hold my breath. The next spectacle was by far one of my favorite shows and one that left me wishing I&#8217;d grow up to be one of those drivers: the demolition derby.</p>
<p>About eight cars raced each other while driving around the track with no rules whatsoever. With an everything-goes mentality, these drivers crashed into each other pushing each other off the track and doing anything they can to get ahead in the race. How much fun would it be to be a demolition derby driver?! I think I&#8217;d win <img src='http://agustinaprigoshin.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The grand finale of the show featured the massive trucks ramming into anything in their way and pulling off as many tricks as possible within an allotted time frame. Some trucks took it to the max and ended up popping off tires, flipping over and just causing flat out destruction. What an amazing show!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m now a fan and will be first in line for El Toro Loco next year! Thanks Natalie and rbb!!</p>
