I am taking a long (really long) road trip from Ottawa-Canada to Austin in August. Since I am going to stay there a while for business I decided to ride the TL down there. Any advice about any good dealerships down there? I guess by the time I get there I'll need a B1 service.

There are two in Austin. I go to David McDavid in northwest Austin because it's closer, but I believe Sterling Acura in south Austin is actually the better dealership. Sorry that's not super helpful, but at least you won't go completely unanswered. Where will you be on business?

Go with Sterling. It's down I-35 south a ways, but it is significantly better and closer.

Guys,
From the last couple of months, i am hearing a noise from my right side only. It happens when i go over a bumpy road, it is like something loose and vibrating but I have not been able to figure it out. The stealership could not even find it. I live in an apt with no access to tools or anything.

I am willing to learn and even pay someone who can help in finding and fixing it. I can tag along as a help buddy to understand and learn more. Hence, I would trust the folks on AZ to help in doing so.

I would prefer someone in Austin to just look at it. The fix to the problem can be done later, if it needs more time.

Please let me know if anyone is willing to, and we can decide,
Thanks in advance,
Peekay.

Hey everyone, I am currently in the Georgetown area.... fairly new to Austin. I moved from NY to Texas, drove my 04 Acura Tl the entire way (awesome drive by the way). I was wondering if there is ever any meets within the Acurazine community. I use to meet up with ppl from NY through Acurazine.

Driving down south for a weekend trip. Stopping in a few state parks then Fredericksburg for a night and then Austin. Is Barton Springs pool worth going to?

I would give it a go if I wasn't from here. I have been a couple of times, but in this weather it will feel really good because the temperature is always the same.

Also, keep in mind they're closed from 9AM to 7PM on Thursday

Also, if you're in Fredericksburg during the day, some of the wineries there are awesome. Becker Vineyards and Rancho Ponte come to mind.

We plan to visit the Grape Creek Vineyard (my buddy said his wife liked that one best) but the one on Main St since we are staying right on Main St. I just don't know if we will make it there in time before the tastings close because, even though we plan to leave really early in the morning, we will be stopping at Colorado Bend and Enchanted Rock first. I think the tastings end at 5 or 6 or something.

Also was debating on stopping by Mount Bonnell... apparently has the 'best view' of Austin. I've been to Austin plenty of times in the past in the college days but never heard of Mount Bonnell, not sure if it's worth it or not. Guess I might as well ask another question. Bats under the Congress Bridge.. can you still see them this time of year?

I'm a member of Grape Creek. That does sound like tastings are going to be a close call.

Mount Bonnell is a great view. The bats don't come back to Congress Avenue until March and, even then, they don't do their famous flights until mid to late August. They still fly in June, but it's a lot less impressive than the late August and onward flight.

Mmm Jester King sounds like a nice pit stop.
Ok so scratch the bats. Mt Bonnell is a maybe. Was also thinking of maybe kayaking on Lady Bird Lake. What about the Capitol? Worth my time walking through? I think I'll be bored.
Plan is to go to a few bars on 6th on Friday evening (I'm sure I'll be done by the time the college kids get out there) to celebrate the bday . If any of ya'll want to buy me a beer or two feel free to join?

You could always hang with some dbags at container and drink Mickey lites.

Capitol is a yes.. run all through there, it's magnificent.
Kayaking on lady bird.. hell yes. Don't drink the water, you'll die.. probably.

Srry only the wife will be raping me.

And I do like non-domestic light beers. I like specialty brews, I just hate hipsters (I know I'll see my fair share). I don't want to be served a beer by a dude in skinny jeans and a lumberjack shirt with a foot long beard telling me the whole process of the brew and if I taste different fermentation and spices and shit while he rings me up on his apple computer with square. Although that will probably happen.
