    Yeah, I can’t wait to see how the exotics and super lowered imports are going to get over Mount St. Speedbump. If a Prius has trouble with it, Ferraris and Lambos are screwed.

    I figured out how to mount my super bright spots from the Tacoma as headlights on the shitbox. Who wants to do some night wheeling :anonymous:

    Depends, want to help thrash on this pile of boxes? About to start my full hydro conversion. Getting it done in a week is possible I think...

    And as long as you don’t fuck up MY commute, we’re good. You can have IH-35 all to yourself.

    Be safe moving out here. See you at Cars and Coffee in February, January if you’re early enough. You gotta ditch those Cali plates first, though. They’ve been known to cause hives and evil stares.

    Did a little digging regarding the "BUMP". C&C's answer was:

    "That was a concern in the beginning for us, but we actually tested it with the one of lowest cars we have available to us (lowered CTSV owned by SW at ) and cleared just fine. Totally angled entry but we were able to get in without scraping."

    Still... next month, I'm going to get there at 5am, set up a chair right besides this action:

    Depends.

    Without Cali plates - just try and stay West of IH-35, for the most part, or North, and you'll be alright.

    With Cali plates... I hear up near Dallas is a pretty nice area?

    Hit up Toyota of Cedar Park for sure. They already sponsor the official/unofficial Tundra group that gets together at their dealership. Justin Sullins is the guy, and if you want me to do the legwork, just lemme know.

    Dude, that’s a YouTube video I could watch all day.
    Depends on where you are working and what you consider to be expensive. If your job is in North Austin, stick to something north of the Domain. If you’re in south Austin, stick to Slaughter or farther south, and west toward Brodie. If you’re working east side...uh, live in Manor and commute (armed. We all have guns here). If you’re on the west side, I’d suggest some place around 2244 (Bee Caves Rd).

    PM me if you want and I’ll try to steer you someplace decent. There are also apartment locator services here (free to use) that will help you find a place in the area where you’re looking. Good luck!

    Great turn out, nice to see some of you again and cool to meet up with new faces.

    The unofficial mascot had fun, knocked the fuck out as soon as he got in the door....

    Since it is TTC.......Texas Toyota Chihuahua seems like a good handle for the dog.........should get a shirt made for the runt.......

    or Tacos and Tacos + Chihuahuas.......

    @Sandtaco
    I have some one you could contact if you want to search online, she could set you up on the MLS site which would show you rentals
    and other property all over Austin and the surrounding areas....it is how I found a place before I left Kalifornia. It is FREE also...
