Texas bound

inferno · 08-14-2002, 05:28 PM

Well, it is official...I am moving out of California and going to Texas within the next few months...Houston to be exact. I am getting my engine built and boosted safely and then I am moving.

The Deuce · 08-14-2002, 05:38 PM

I hear Texas is full of weirdo's, but I'm sure you're prepared for that by now.

Mr 5 0 · 08-14-2002, 05:39 PM

Sounds like a good move.

I'm an easterner but if I went west, it would probably be Texas.

California is a beautiful, temperate state (I lived there a few years and visited again in '98) but it's been overrun by political whackos (enviromentalists, gays, liberals in general including Governor Grey-out Davis) and the taxes and regulations must be a burden. Texas seems a bit less temperate but certainly more friendly - and the muscle car scene seems to be thriving.

Good luck.

How true you are but it has grown on me. May I ask what part of Californiayou were in?

Inferno, be safe in your travels and let us know when you get there too.

POOR YOU! I love california and I don't like houston texas isnt bad but people in houston don't know how to drive and the traffic is worse than LA IMO!!!!

Texas is a cool state if you like cars. I think Cali is cool but I was born and raised here in Texas and I love it here.

Lots of 5.0's in TX.

Sknight579 · 08-14-2002, 07:51 PM

I love Texas, born in SA, and have lived in Midland/Odessa the rest of the time, I never liked Houston, always made me mad having to go down there, but West Texas is great.

Rev · 08-14-2002, 08:02 PM

Texas, like California is a huge state and very diverse. From swamps to deserts, beaches to mountains, piney woods to plains. Houston is also very diverse itself and you'll find all kinds of people here, both good and bad. I'm sure you'll find people that you will enjoy assiciating with if you look for them. What many find unpleasant is the heat and the humidity in the summer. I grew up with it so it doesn't bother me much, but it's hard for a lot of folks. Traffic in Houston can be a pain sometimes. I try to fix it so I'm always going in the opposite direction of the traffic jam, but that only works if you can pick where you live and work. Also helps if you can pick the time of day when you want to go somewhere. I know that sounds kind of screwy, but it works for me. Anyway welcome to Houston.

I'm one of them

Well man Texas is hot n' humid, espically H-Town. Your gonna be coming in during the cooler side of the year but be prepared for drops and raises in temps. Oh yah a lot of 5.0's too like Dark 5.0 said. Besides that Houston is a great place, you'll like it.

inferno · 08-15-2002, 04:00 PM

I'll probably be moving at the end of October. I am getting my fuel system together and ordering my pistons so I can boost my Supra. I am looking forward to running some decently modded Stangs. I'm tired of beating up on light modded Stangs with my light modded Supra...time to step up a league. I visited Houston in June/July and I saw how bad the driving was....It is amazing that people who drive so slow, can also drive as horrible as they do. I saw a lot of Stangs and F-bodies when I visited and very few modded imports so I know that people are going to think that my car is "prey" but they will be in for a big surprise.

Oh, and my mom got caught by one of the F-body police cars doing 90 on the 288, so I know I need to get some kind of radar detection.

08-15-2002, 04:06 PM

Woot!

*haha*

...same here guy movin to Texas myself

Sknight579 · 08-15-2002, 10:40 PM

everyone wishes they where here, I lived in SA for the first 6 years of my life, from what I remebered it was humid as hell, and having to go down there to work out of the San Antonio office sucks, but thats the reason we moved to Midland, or mabee it was the nieghbors shoot out a window, and are central office i up here, I can't remember, lol

bald guy 90gt · 08-15-2002, 10:45 PM

the only good thing about moving to texas is you will be close to the texas bikini team

Topless In Texas · 08-15-2002, 10:46 PM

Just a little "Texass Weather forecast" for ya'll Yankees up there!

....its been ******* raining for 2 solid days....ALL the creeks between where i live in League City and work in Friendswood, have either reached flood stage, or will before the night is over. Weve had 8 inches of rain in the last 24 hours and 3 of them in the last 6 hours! Glad I dont have to work tomorrow!
Got a 70% chance of thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow...
I have not mowed my back yard in 3 weeks...i'm dreading daylight tomorrow. Not sure I wanna see how it looks....Might need to buy a riding lawnmower!

Anyone have a canoe? preferably with an Evinrude 250?
