    Any fellow first gen guys got a tail light cover I can borrow and give back before Friday afternoon so I can pass inspection?.. heh.. My luck doing 5/5s on 31s and IFS is starting to run out slowly.

    Yes, the wall I tried to climb is taller than my truck. No, it didn't have any natural ramps to drive up, it was almost vertical. Yes, I had done it before. No, it wasn't this damn muddy the first time. Yes, I fucked up.

    Yellow tape at parts store will fix that. They got all the colors you need for tail lights.

    Currently in Temple. It rained for a minute or two but then was gone. Headed home from downtown the other day I think I was doing 25 down I35 because of the rain.

    Trying to figure out where in Texas I'm going to move. Leaning towards Austin so figured I'd poke around in here and get to know some of y'all

    North Austin (Cedar Park) is the favorite place I've lived moving around a lot as a child, and would honestly be content with living here when I graduate university. It's growing quite fast, which is kinda meh, but then again, most of Texas is.

    Happy house hunting :thumbsup:

    No shit dude. I went from Austin to Albuquerque in one day (back in '92) and about died when I hit 6000 feet.

    Hated visiting th Air Force Academy. No air.

    I know you missed the rain and humidity. We saved it for you.






    You're welcome.

    Yes.
    The truth is, the Humidity is nice. I'm so insanely dry after two weeks in the mountains. I haven't been below 4600 feet in 14 days, and drove through 11,000 at least twice (Pikes Peak, and Monarch Pass) We camped at 7900 feet, and I had to take three breaks setting up and tearing down camp.

    The view was worth it though.
