I'm down for whatever, with the first show and my car having a real sponsor this year I'll be spending lots of my weekends up at the shop but I'm still down for whatever. The weather's getting nicer and I know the club has lots of drives coming up, we could also do some sort of impromptu deal aside from those, maybe drive out to the Oasis or something? The food is ok, the view is pretty cool, and the surrounding roads are a hoot, even if they are more crowded these days. (ugh)

i think we kinda got it figured out, we'll probably end up talking to alamo rotary to see if they can re-seal the motor basically.
haha i wish it was just something in the air, but unfortunately this has been going on for a week, it's just a rotary motor issue, totally normal...to us :D

I'm pondering different sideskirts but i don't think I could pull it off before show season so probably not any time soon. Doesn't look like I'm going to the Padre show, which is fine as my car isn't ready and it's a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng boring drive anyway

Well I found a couple of spots, one is Saturday night (pretty late, seemed to pick up around 9pm) at the BestBuy at Gateway or 183/360 by the Container Store etc. Mostly younger/import/street racing crowd, no custom cars were out there when i went save for mine. (doh!)
The other hang out was by the Carl's Jr on 1431, in front of the closed Circuit City, this place seemed perfect, older hotrod type crowd too, (more like the original home depot/1431 crowd)
Tinseltown in puh-flugerville supposedly has a small gathering, we went and it was bust, but it was also freeeeeezing that night so.....
These were all on Saturday evening/night, don't know of anything kickin' on a Friday.

looks like my weekend is free after all, I'll be out and about Saturday for sure. If anyone needs to get a hold of me just shoot me a pm, I'm not posting my number in this thread, I get enough "expired warranty" calls as it is
