I dont know if I'm bringing any of the thirdgens with :-( (gonna try and find something)

Just looking to see what goes on in the Houston area as far as car shows, cruises, gatherings, street racing and the like goes:-)

I'm going to be attending SAM so will be in Houston from this coming Jan and the next year thereafter.

I've only been in Houston for about a year. What is SAM?

What area of town will you be living?

 

SAM= School of Automotive Machinists. Very good school, better than UTI from what I hear.

 

Its between Interstate 10 and 290 on Antoine.

lol doesnt mean squat to me but the apts, most who attend stay at are within 1 mile of the school.

Just trying to see what goes on around there, so I can find stuff to do from day one.

Juat look over the board and check us out!

 

That should put you within about 10 miles of ARD (a short distance in H-Town). They hosted a dyno day today, good folks. Be sure and bring SOME vehicle with you, Houston is really spread out. And welcome, look forward to meeting you.

 

Might be bringing a beater for a car.

Dont know yet.

Ours pretty much suck it for moving cross country :-)

We will see lol

 

lol

Was hoping for a little more info.....

So what are the popular cruise spots? Parking lots? burger joints? car shows?

 

Sounds like what U are looking for--U want to go to the Htownracing board. It deals with more of the local nightly car hangout scene--tuners and American cars-- not sure of the actual web address--do a google and I'm sure U will find it. I'm sure somebody on here will post it as well as any other boards for Hou stuff like that!

 

You'll be fairly close-in on the northwest side. Easy access to a lot of what's happening.
I won't mention the street-racing scene, I don't endorse it (Westheimer), but here are a few links:

You could be amazed how much you can pack into a 3rd gen, I've made trips between DC and Houston a few times.

Others can talk about Sam's Club and Otto's, I haven't been there yet.

 

AS far as I know Sam's Club is dead--no more.

Everybody goes to the North side out off of 249 to the Niftee Fiftee's show now.

Be a good thread--where are the Sat night car shows these days?

 

I'm thinking we should give Jeremy a Welcome Wagon. A hooters on the NW side? See the send off he got got from his local region.

Jeremy, when are you getting here?

Dave

 

Be sure to let me know when you're coming thru Dallas and I'll buy ya a cup of coffee, beer, what ever on your way to H-town.

 

I found a Hooters near here lol

If u want to do me a welcome party, I'm game lol

It was kinda near Hohlester(spelling?) on the 290 local/frontage lanes.

The guys on the NW IN/Chicago board came out en mass for my going away party, made me a happy camper, I done did good I guess lol

Vern, I didnt do Dallas went on 59 south from western Arkanas down.

I'll head out your way for some tuning fun, if u got a place for me to crash lol (watch it, i may take furniture with lol

Ya know, wait 4 or 5 weeks until I get the 195 Eliminators, MiniRam, and probably 280XFI cam installed and I just may take you up on that offer. H3LL, I'd even pay for your gas round trip!

Might have to make it the same weekend as our club meets....

 

i think the street is hollister. actually exit bingle either way and u turn if you are going east into downtown.
