    Hey guys, I was told about this group (texas toyota coalition) from a few people at COTA yesterday. Just wanted to stop in and say hi, I've been looking for an off-road group in Austin since I moved here 2 years ago from Michigan.

    A little about me. I'm a big car guy, mostly turbocharged imports, I do ecu reverse engineering and tuning for work and love anything with an engine. I grew up going to the dunes in michigan with my dad's sandrail, dirt bikes, quads. I love off-roading, especially sand dunes, I was bummed to see that kermit sand dunes in texas shut down right before I moved here; I'm hoping to make a trip to little sahara sand dunes in Oklahoma soon though. I'm in Lago Vista now and go to hidden falls adventure park almost every saturday for an hour or two to ride my kx450 or bomb around in my Tacoma. Looking forward to meeting some of you and going to any local events!
