Possibly the post of the year, and definitely must-do reading for anyone going on a cruise and thinking they are a race car driver.

You really don't know what you don't know. You have to scare yourself sh1tless in a car at speed on a real race track to have any appreciation for what wstar just said.

Uber rep to you sir! :tup:

I know we could get ten guys to do this. Easily. If wstar could attend just as a mentor, that would be great.

If Houston can go 24 hours without pissing-off anyone else on the Board, we might invite him too! :stirthepot: Just kidding big guy!

Probably something to do in the fall as I'm pretty much booked up through September with vacation and work trips.

Definitely doable. :tup:

Im in if you can round up some more Z's. Just let me know when in advanced so i can request some leave time.

Side note:
Silver sport on 79 from Round Rock to Hutto. Didn't seem to want to look my way when they finally passed me. Don't worry, Im not much of a street racer these days lol.

I see a black sport or 40th on 183 East... I'm in a white FX50

rep'ing san antonio. we've got a few in my area...but we're all shitty drivers (as anyone who's been in SA will tell you)

(new to the forum btw)

The problem with SA is the highways, a bunch of the curves are banked wrong. Scary if you're going fast and don't expect it. Well that and the surfaces are in a pretty bad state of disrepair in places. Nice people and good food though, I love visiting the city :).

Got cut off at the junction of 610/I10/290 near the Galleria in Houston buy someone showing off in a White 370 with sport rims a couple days ago. Almost hit me, as I was accelerating at the moment. Be respectful on the roads guys, especially to other Z drivers.

people are great, as is the food :tup: everyone just likes to take their time and check out the scenery. e.g. driving home from work yesterday = stuck behind a tahoe doing 40 in a 60. and if there's a wreck/hint of rain...baby jesus save us all.

I would say that was me, but I have yet to see another Z and I would not cut off a fellow Z. :tiphat: I drive my Suv most of the time that's when I see all the other Z's. I do a lot of showing off though! :rofl2:

I'm in that neighborhood. Possible it's the one five houses down the street from me that showed up a couple months ago. I've only seen them like twice and was leaving the house both times. Then there's another PW (base I think) three doors further down that showed up just a few weeks ago. I need to walk the dog that direction more to see if I run into them. Next time I meet up with you guys, Auston, can I grab a two of those Z cards you had made to pass on?
