Post Anyone interested in a TEXAS meet?

I live in Austin, however I have a home in Dallas also, so Dallas would be great. HOwever, I know there are those Houston folks and Houston is damn far away from Dallas. So let me know with some comments about where a meet could be best conducted at.

I say Hell Yeah!

I think Austin would be a good central location that would be within driving distance of most major cities.

Let's do this.

I'd say Austin would be good. I'd go, but I ain't got nothing to show

Vdo, what kinda headlight is that you got on your car?

thaitea, lights are just stock lights with the chrome bezel painted black and the amber reflector removed.

Hope no one feels discouraged about attending meets if their car is stock. Checking out one another's cars is just part of the reason we have meets. It's also a chance to meet people with common interests, hangout, and have fun. Meets can sometimes be very helpful too. When I used to own an Accord, bunch of local Accord buddies met at someone's house and had a "mod session" (cleared out headlights, installed lowering springs, etc. as a group), and then went cruising afterwards. It was a blast.

Dallas or Austin are fine by me and I'll show. I vote Austin as it's more scenic and has better driving roads (more curvy and scenic). I live in Dallas, though, but whatever...

We tried this a few months ago and everyone except me and another guy bailed out two days prior, so I hope this meet is a greater success!

Yea, unfortunately Texas is so freaking big that people would have to drive far to meet up. However, Austin would be the best central location. I'm kind of skeptical about how many people will show, considering a lot of houston people are probably not willing to drive all the way over to austin. Anyway, I'm willing to do this.
By the way, here in Austin at the Illegals, there are so many Phat cars. If we can time things right, we can all roll up there and show them SUP!!!
PLEASE, do not be discouraged for having a stock TL, because it's all good. Your still the TL family.

Anyway, I need a headcount on all the people that are SERIOUS. And state the preferable location.

You can count me in

Now just got to figure out the time, day, and etc..

I know there's a "battle of the imports" on March 18th at San Antonio (River City Raceway)its on a sunday, yeah it kind of awhile from now. We could always meet that friday on march 16th in austin and hang in austin for a few days and then all roll down to the "battle of the imports" at San Antonio (River City Raceway).. hey maybe they might even have a car show event we all could enter =)

Any good Austin parties coming up? besides the Kaboom one on Feb 2nd, i think that's the date.

yea, sounds good to me. I'm down with Battle of the imports.

As for party scene, what are you down with? I'm asian, so I know a lot of the asian fraternity and sorority parties here. My roommate is part of a white fraternity, so he is down with that. I'm actually down with whatever.

We need to get more people in on this. So, let me know, EVERYONE!!!!

Well...for a minute I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to make it because of timing, but if you guys going to do it around mid march count me in. My brother works in Austin, I guess I'll give him a visit and crash at his place.

And who knows, by that time I might have SOMETHING mod So put me on the list!

Dragon,
I saw your TL yesterday around 5:30pm driving by Waterloo Brewing Co. It looks flat out awesome. I was glad to see no spoiler.

The body kit, CL rims, Inspire tails and drop look fantastic.

I have a black 2000 TL with no mods yet, but you car was an inspiration!

Thanks a lot for your nice comments about my car. I'm glad to know that there are other TL lovers here in Austin. Yea, I think the car looks better without the factory spoiler. If I did get a spoiler I would get a flush mount. Anway, if this meet happens to work out, you definitely have to come.

Oh by the way, if you are in need of factory accessories or parts, I have a huge hook up, so let me know.

I am down for pretty much anything, however I really need to get some real show of hands here. It seems as though there are only a few people that are willing to. I understand because Texas is so big and it is such an inconvenience to meet up. Also, it's because we don't have "TRUE" enthusiasts here. NOt to diss or anything.

Count me in.

Again, I'm definately in.

A March meet is fine, but I'd enjoy a meet even sooner than that. Maybe each city (Dallas, Houston, Austin) can have it's own minimeet, say this or next weekend, and then we all can have a state-wide meet in March at the races.

Remember, stock is OK. Let's show those Cali, Florida, NJ, Hawaii folks what Texas is all about.

Yea, that sounds really good. I'm down for a meet just for the Austin and nearby folks. We can meet up at D&B, where all the ricers meet. We'll just watch them drool over our rides.

Sorry to say, but I will not be able to attend a March 18th meet in Austin. I have a wedding to attend that day (I'm not getting married), but anything in Houston before then would be nice.

damn, ida thought our state would have more TL enthusiasts than the few here who've posted.

No Sh*t. I guess the Texans are too stuck up to meet their TL family.

One more idea...the Dallas Auto Show is in late March. I am going to drive to Dallas for that.

Might be a good time to have a Texas-wide meet?

The idea of the Auto Show is definitely pretty hype. I'm for sure going to that. By the way, how do you get tickets? I figure at the door.

Anyway, an Austin I'm down for, however if it is this weekend I cannot do it, bc I have to go to Dallas.

If people want to get together in Dallas then I'm down with that. Let me know.

For all those people that are interested in running your car on a real track, we can gather one friday night and head out to a drag strip so we can see how each other's cars run. It would be very interesting. I have been out to the Temple drag strip and the Texas motorspeedway in Ennis and on Friday nights they have a test and tune night where anyone can bring out any type of vehicle and run it down the track. Also, there are many people that go out to this event. Lots of ricers, however they are fast. Just a suggestion.

Another good idea! I've been out to those 2 tracks you mentioned also, but have only raced in Temple. Have you been to the one down to RiverCity (San Marcos)? Heard a lot of Austin people stopped going to Temple and started going RiverCity instead cuz its newer and they race (T&T) on Wed & Fri. We should go sometime. Real fun.

Here's me about to get toasted by this Firebird in Temple:
