Ya good plan... offer to beer him up every few hundred miles on a cross country drive.

Hey jarblue, I also live in Austin man. Is that an open event? Can people go watch and would it be worth it? Hey man I haven't seen anything about Austin meets but I would be down to meet up and drink some cold ones.

It was invite only and is not open to the general public. In fact, I am only attending as a guest of someone else who got the invite and managed to get in before registration was full.

Keep an eye on Austin370Z E-vents for local stuff

Well, if he's not trying to do the drive in 24 hours, he can hang out for 1 hr per beer

Thank you very much! Enough... Bullets... How is that possible??? I DO know that as soon as I cross the border to AZ, the handguns come out and the AR15 gets loaded.

Not taking the Z this time. My friend's mom has cancer that the doctors in LA SUCK at treating, and they have gone to Houston a few times for opinions and to get more specialized treatments and such. On Tuesday he flew out and on Thursday he said that the hospital there will open up their schedule and take over her whole case, so her texted me and called me today and asked if I can drive their car out because it looks like they're staying. And my friend is like my second brother, so no problem

Welllllll... I think I could do a beer an hour, my liver might BEAT me as I arrive to Houston, but I HIGHLY doubt a beer an hour will get me drunk or even tipsy with my size
And beer has carbs and alcohol is the first "nutrient" to bbe used as alcohol, so it's a great energy drink!

(or did that not fool anyone?)

I made the drive from Dallas to TX about a year ago, and it was great. Probably 22 hours of driving time, I only stopped in Albuquerque because a member here said that he'd take me on the airforce base and show me some helicopters. And it was AWESOME!!! If it wasn't for that I would've probably tried to do it in one go. And I didn't drive fast, stopped whenever I wanted, ate whenever, stopped at rest areas just because it was beautiful even though I did probably hit 50-100 mile straight stretches of road... I DID however stop a few times on the freeway on those long straights and I did several burn outs and I did do it a few times later when it rained, LOL

Is it really that good? I've seen the place on various TV shows for YEARS.
On my way TO Los Angeles I didn't know that they were on the way, but I did stop by it and snap some photos.

Anything you recommend? I may be a fat ***, but god knows I can't compete in their challenge, lol

General Texas rule. When you are going to what is supposed to be a great Tx steak house. You usually want those proving grounds to be in the Ribeye or Prime rib cuts. It's the unofficial, official Texas cuts of meat. If they can't get those cuts right? They won't get many or any right.
