I'll be moving down there and having my car transported down to San Antonio, TX and I was wondering if there is anyone from the area...

 

There's a couple.. you'll find a lot of members in the Austin & Houston area.. moreso Houston.. but Austin is the place to be.. lol. Welcome to TX!

 

how far is Austin away from the Northwest side of San Antonio? and thanks man... it's a big change... gonna be hard but i think ill do fine.

 

You're about 1.5-2 hrs from Austin.. real easy going drive though.. like driving from Seattle to Bellingham..

San Antonio is nice.. it's a big sprawled out city though.. Austin is awesome.. outstanding nightlife & lots of places to spend the day including some real nice cruising areas..

Only bad thing is you're moving here at the start of summer.. I suggest getting ceramic tint all around. Remember you're in Texas now.. 5% that puppy.. lol.

 

Thanks for the tip, but i guess 20% tint is good enough for me right now... im poor having to move down there... so i see you use to live in WA, why did you move?

 

20% tint will get you a 200.00 ticket.

 

Texas state law is 25% tint... I alreeady researched it.

 

Which is why you would get a $200 ticket.

Welcome to San Antonio man! I rep the north central Stone Oak side.

 

Wow but so many other cars I've seen, there tint is less than 20%. Anyway, I don't really car cause my 20% looks like 25% in the sun. But yeah I rep the northwest side of San antonio by sea world LOL

 

a lot of cars have illegal tints around here, but cops barely pull people over just for tints.
unless u get pulled over for something else and they notice the tint, but the smart thing to do would be to roll all the windows down.

i think its 25% on sides and no limit on back windows

out of all the times i've been pulled over, only once a cop actually said my tints were illegal but he let me go. (same cop pulled me over twice for no front license plates)

 

Its Texas DPS that you need to worry about with the window tint. It gives them a reason to pull you over.

 

The law in TX is 25% net on the sides, and any % darkness on the rear window. Net % is the total light transmitted, this can be achieved by applying 35% film on clear glass.

 

35% is what I did.

 

Hey brother, I'm living in San Antonio too!

 

i am also out is San Antonio... Welcome to TX... i stay on the NE side of town... out by Live Oak... hope we can all get a meet going sometime!!!

 

haha thanks guys! i flew back up to WA to finish up summer school, and leaving on the 27th of Aug for TX again.... but bad news... i won't be bringing my TL down there because of tranny issues that have been resolved but decided to just get a new one down there... i've gott my eyes on an 06 TSX or TL..

 

I vote for TL-S. What's the budget?

 

My budget? Hmmm... 17K to 23K... I have an interview for Boeing next week =)
Thank you to my mom... Knowing the hiring managers down there and a level 5 Project Manager

 

.. so you may stay in WA? I have two close friends who work for Boeing out of Everett. One is an EE the other is an ME. What position are you applying for? My gf also got a job offer with Boeing before we moved to Texas. They tried to lowball her.. instead of negotiating she took a better offer in TX. Another friend of ours who was given an offer from Boeing asked 15k more than their offer and they accepted.. The interview process is not intense and they may present you with an informal job offer on the spot, but don't be discouraged if they don't. My best advice is to stay relaxed and professional. They're going to test how you respond, the answer doesn't always have to be right. Btw, are you an engineer?

Getting back to the budget.. if you can swing in the area of $20k.. you could definitely score a type-s.. but you have to be patient.. otherwise get a base TL ~12k and use the residuals for the turbo setup

 

Nooo.. Haha. The interview process is going to be down here in TX. My mom also transfered down here in TX from WA because up in Everett, signs are no good.

I'll look into it. I just have to be patient about everything...

 

Man we need to get something together down here in San Antonio!

 

I agree. There is a huge car meet every friday night at Biff Buzby's. Maybe we can set up a date for a meet. I went with ckrowland (an ex cl first genner) and it was pretty cool. We got there really late after getting lost and going on an e-brake drifting, oncomeing traffic adventure.. (long story)
Anyways, here is the info.

BIFF BUZBY'S FRIDAY NIGHT! (weather pending)

Here's the address:
12702 Toepperwein Rd Ste 130
Live Oak, TX 78233

Here's a link to the map/directions if needed:

Every Friday night a large group of cars of all sorts get together at Biff Buzby's Hamburgers on the North/East side of San Antonio (near the I35/1604 interchange, Live Oak-Universal City area).

There is usually a large turnout starting an hour or two before dark, until midnight or later sometimes. I've seen everything from Bel Aires to 66 Shelby Stangs, Cobra kit Cars, Lambos, 12 Z06 vettes (at once), a lot of Stangs and LS1 Powered GM products, etc. There are usually a few exotics/imports, but mostly american muscle. Also some nice and some rice imports aswell.

It is a large parking lot with room for plenty of cars, and it usually fills up (100+ cars is not un-common). The tire-smokers and burnout kings usually aren't too bad, so you don't have to worry about gravel flying or an accident. It's a generally older crowd (especially around the classics), with a few relatively younger folks mixed in, and never any drama.

 

Just want to say "Hi" to all the local SA peeps.

 

Welcome to AZine! What's your ride bro?

 

hey im new to the forum thing and i was wondering if you guys in san antonio ever get together for meets of rallys?

either do it yourself or ebay.

 

Does anyone in SA wanna hit up a Thrusday night car meet? I have a couple of friends that go regularly. Let me know guys.

 

Hey guys. I am back after a long LOA. I just got back into the Acura scene and picked myself up a new to me TL type-s below. I use to run a site and get the local Acura guys together once a month for meet/dinner. Hope to get it going again.
