I may have the incorrect number, it's on 29 at a 4 way stop. There's like a strip mall on one side, a gas station (or several, like an Exxon and some others) on the other. There's a post office and city hall etc. on it as well and it crosses over some railroad tracks that are right next to a restaraunt. It's a fun little road either going left or right at the light, one end comes out on 183 somewhere I think, the other one (the one I was driving on) I'm not so sure. I had a little fun driving on it Friday night on the way to see some friends who live out that way. It's about a 1/2 mile from the high school too.

Ah, I got ya. I think that is 1869 if you go straight. Left turns into Bagdad road in Leander. Those are some fun routes through there. If you take 1869 down a ways you can hit 1174 and take it down to 1431. 1431 can take you to Cedar Park of course, or to Marble falls. All really good roads for the 8! I sometimes take the 1174 route on weekends just to go for a drive.

Blew by a Silver 8 on the Sam Houston Tollway yesterday afternoon. I was going about 90 and didn't see the gender of the driver. It looked like 2 guys in my rearview, but @ 90mph it's kinda hard to see details...

Saw a VR near midtown Houston with a cop behind them in the middle of the road last week. Wanted to waive but I didn't want to be an ***. I hope he was helping you guys out.

I played a bizzare game of cat'n'mouse with a BB throughout the entire Southwest quadrent of the Woodlands last night. We were both headed to pretty much the same place, but we prefered different routes, so for a good 10 minutes at every other intersection we would look at each other and be like "WTF IS THAT THE SAME RX??"

Not sure if this counts but notable nonetheless...
Ti Gray w/ appearance package on Ave K in Plano... being towed by a flat bed - with the 8's rear wheels lifted and the front end running no more than an inch or two above the ground. I was driving our old Camry but wanted to jump out and smack the tow truck driver... I've never even seen a normal car towed that way, much less an 8 with low ground clearance.

Saw a nordic green at the light that crosses under 820 heading toward North East Mall in Hurst. Looked like he turned left to get on the freeway going north. I was sitting at the same light facing south in the left hand turn lane.
Sadly...I wave at other owners and don't get any reply most of the time.

1 - Major splintering of the front windshield, dead-center of the driver's view
2 - DIRT. LOTS OF DIRT. I take roadtrips nearly every weekend, so I rarely see the point (or have the time) to clean my car. It currently looks like a mat-black paintjob
3 - Driver (me) is always wearing fingerless gloves, like some wanna-be F&F high schooler, looking like a damn moron. (Yankee + Houston humidity + leather steering wheel = revoltingly sweaty hands. I'd rather look like a tard than crash my 8)
