Just curious if anyone in the Houston area is still active here on Thirdgen.org and if anyone would like to coordinate getting together for a F body meet here in the Houston area soon.

That only makes 3 of us in the area. How far is Troup from Houston? I'm still down to have a meet up at some time if anyone wants to go for a cruise or something. These cars are skyrocketing in value and its hard to find nice ones around.

Conroe here. Not a lot of folks check TGO regularly. There is a houston thirdgen group on facebook, its fairly active. There are several of us on the northside.

Located in Spring. I have a few 4th gens but just bought a 3rd gen. Should be here in 2 weeks. I’d be down to meet up.

I guess I make four..... To be honest the only reason I considered a third gen is because they are scarce now. I can't tell you the last time I saw one on the road in Houston. Online for sale in 2 feet of grass, yes but not driving down the street. As of this post I have only driven my car twice but I notice a lot of people looking at it. Memory lane I guess.

They are getting more and more rare. Hardly drive mine right now, she needs a few things and life just gets in the way. Maybe next year we can get something going.

I waited for years to find this third Gen and have really enjoyed getting to drive it around. Yellow 87 Formula 350. It needs a few things but as of right now drives great. You’re right you don’t see them at all- had a kid at O’reily ask me what kind of car it was because he had never seen one.

I’m definitely in for a meet up- even if it’s at another show.

What our club used to do back in California was have members stage at their respective locations, then meet at a central location for a cruise/food/some activity and then everyone goes their separate ways. Cruise some of the windy country roads and end up in a small town or something. It was more entertaining than driving to a car show and parking all day. One of these days ID like to make the pilgrimage to ThirdGenfest, but in the meantime would be great to something for the Dallas/Houston/East Texas crowd.

We used to do this, Houston was the center point, I recently re-uploaded a lot of the pictures: Houston Meets – Austin Thirdgen

LiquidBlue used to tear up the Houston freeways back in the day, you know, when I-45 was only 2 lanes after 610, and BW-8 was just a feeder and only in some areas. I'd be afraid to drive those areas now, stuck over here in Austin, even Mopac is a bit much for me, car sits so low, T-tops off, and a big truck goes by, flinging rocks and hoping they don't hit my irreplaceable windshield or my head ! Hope you guys all get to meet, no one appreciates our cars more than us!!

Yea Houston roads are not the same anymore. Every car I have purchased I would take 610 going north from the Galleria. When it meets 45 you take it north. That is a really fun turn but I swear it is crowded 24/7 now. Actually 45 from downtown going north then take 610 west.....another great one. LOL! Anyway @@norcalz28 I feel you as I spend I feel like I am making minimal progress but I am going to keep at it.
