Welcome Todd
That's not what I like to hear. My Volvo's downpipe sits about 2.5" off the ground.
I'll be towing it out in January once I retire from the Navy. I hear there are 2 drag strips in the Houston area. Are there any road courses nearby that do track days?
I don't really have any plans for the TL as it's my wife's car other than keeping it clean & a couple cosmetic touches.
I'm going to spend some time reading through this forum to see what's been done & what can be done to the TLs.
Do you guys go to Cars & Coffee much? I just started going to the one here in Va Beach.

Also, are there any good powdercoating shops on the west side of Houston? I have a bunch of things off my Volvo that I want taken care of once I'm out there.

Justin and I are going to meet up this Saturday or Sunday morning (preferably saturday though). Anyone else want to meet up for a little bit, maybe get lunch or something? I'll be on the west side near the beltway and I-10.

If I was staying longer I would totally be down for that. My 4 hour drive really eats up the weekend.

Yeah, it is. Maybe somewhere on highway 6 near the westpark tollway? Highway 6 has a bunch of stuff. I'm not too familiar with the majority of Houston, I never really strayed far from the memorial area.

I live on Memorial too! By "I" I mean my parents place now that I moved out.

I just mentioned highway 6 and westpark tollway since it was in between me and justin. I have no problem eating somewhere in the memorial area though since I'll be there already!

This place is worth while on the west side.
Haven't been there in awhile as of late but always good imo.

I like pho, but mostly like just the rice noodle and broth.
