Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Anybody going to be headed to Dallas and willing to do a TW express on a wheel for some cash?

 

where you at homeboy

 

Wheel is in downtown Dallas and I'm in north austin.

 

Headed to COTA in a bit for the Kenny Chesney concert. I'll try and get a pic of Sundays taco spot

 

My trip to Midlothian on Friday is a 50/50... waiting to hear back from client. Midlothian is Dallas ish so if this goes through, I'll try to hoook it up

 

just talked with a kid that has a first gen short bed 2wd basic version of the Taco....in pretty bad shape, needs some mechanical help for sure. told him to come on down to COTA on the 20th and hang out. told him about @Texoma and the group........we shall see. told him to hop on here and create an account and hang out only in the Austin threads and the TTC thread......with the exception of the Texas members, everyone else can go to hell

 

Jesus Fucking Christ. That is creepy.

 

Kenny puts on a good show. $8 a beer adds up though...

 

fixed it

 

Good Day

 

Hello

 

Morning everyone

 

​

 

It’s almost Friday.

 

Well shit. My brother's dog was hit by a rattlesnake last night. They've been at the doggo ER all night and she's probably not going to make it - despite the antivenin her kidneys are failing and she has internal bleeding. I might be having to haul up to Abilene this weekend to drink in her memory.

 

No offense taken brother. All of my pets have been rescues up to this point and I'm 100% on board with rescuing over breeding. My sister is the same as you; always fostering cats or dogs until she finds them a forever home.

However, for us this time around with this particular breed, I want a lab puppy and I'm willing to purchase from a breeder. I want to know the heritage of the pups, and other info regarding hip displaysia etc. Unfortunately it's hard to find this particular breed and info from a rescue from past experiences. Since my post about interviewing with the family who has these pups I've exchanged several text messages and received photos about the dog's history and background. They also will have had their 6 month shots pre-paid for, X-rays of the hips, written certification there is no signs or history of hip issues and paper work to go along with the dog which honestly I could care less about as I'll never even consider breeding.

I understand if after reading all this the tendency to roll eyes still remains and I should try harder to find a rescue; but it doesn't mean I've given up on that approach. I assure you we'll have rescue animal's again in the future. Losing my Catahoula has just shifted my mindset at least for now and I've always said I'll get a yellow lab when she passes.

 

ATX Morning Bump.
Also, anyone else want to volunteer for assisting the event?

Finally! We are at it again! After a brief hiatus and a few lessons learned after new management takeover, Cars & Coffee is back and bigger than EVER! The Cars and Coffee new management team has secured an amazing location for the event to be held going forward! This comeback is not without its requests though. The Cars and Coffee team specifically sought out our group due to our consistent and overwhelming presence at previous shows. We were always the first and always had bacon! Our community of Tacos and Tacos grew into a much more inclusive gathering of all Toyotas and we routinely had more than 30 participants in our group alone.


Cars and Coffee show runners are requesting some assistance in helping with the ebb and flow of traffic and sorting out parking sections. This is a request for volunteers only and not required. What we are looking for and to provide is a group of maybe 5 (subject to change based on how it goes) rolling volunteers to help direct traffic in and out of the Lots.


For the C&C vets in here, the incoming and exiting traffic situations have always been interesting. Being that this is now at COTA with much better ingress and egress points, this will be much better. The goal is to roll people through so that everyone has time to assist, wander, and eat bacon!


For anyone new, this gathering is a community effort that we all pitch in to supply various items for our group to make our day more enjoyable and full of bacon. A list of common items is as follows:

· Bacon
· Eggs
· Tortillas
· Cheese
· Salsa
· Coffee
· Water
· Sugar
· Cups
· Plates
· Plastic Ware
· Tables
· Chairs
· Cookers
· Trash receptacles and bags
· Really any food, utensils, snacks, drinks or random thing you can think of
· TTC SWAG

**As always, it is not expected for anyone to bring anything. Anything that is brought is greatly appreciated, but you are still allowed to partake in any of the snacks/tacos even if you can’t bring anything**

I will keep an updated list as best I can and track what is happening. Just tag me in a post or quote the main post and I’ll update as we go.

Post Cars & Coffee Meetup:

There will be something following C&C for us. There may be a quick opportunity to play in the COTA Offroad section followed by a convoy to Bastrop Trails to do some offroading. Will fill in details as they are provided.

 

She made it through the night! Not out of the woods yet - she still has a number of issues to survive yet.

 

Pulling for her. That was always one of our fears at the last place. Did she have the "vax" prior to this?
