Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Damn you big moneyz if you live in that area

 

Lol. I don't know about that. I have a 1 br apartment and got a good deal on it. I lived in the heights for the last 3 years and that shit was expensive af.

 

Yeah I went there the first time with Riaz and David when we took the cars out to play on the corners. We got LOTS of weird looks but I've been back with several different groups and it's been consistently good every time.

Pre-covid I used to see a lot more of this thread in real life but this year was a bit of a dud for getting out to see people.

 

Did someone say donuts?

 

I can ship and your expense

 

No Shipley's over there in the Arid-Zona?

 

Not sure really... we have donut wheel and krispy kreme i think...

 

Moved to Texas hearing about how great Shipley's is from a friend who grew up in HTX. Didn't feel like it lived up to the hype, personally. I think nostalgia must add some flavor points. Don't hate me!

 

Shitley?

 

It's one of my last choices.... But I have to give @357sig chit since he has his own donut shop.

 

Shipley’s in San Antonio is meh.

Shipley’s in Austin is double-meh.

With your foodie culture being a mix of what it is...y’all HAVE to have better than Shipleys.

 

Mom and pop donut shops ran by Asians KILLLL shitleys.

 

Man this is so true...

 

I moved up to Virginia. Only have dunkin and krispy up here. The donuts are just sad. I like the little shops that open up at 4.30am and have a group of old people sitting in the corner drinking coffee every morning. Those places always have good donuts.

 

Except most if not all of the Southern Maid donut shops... less than stellar, and all seem to be ran by angry Vietnamese curmudgeons

 

The Southern Maid on SH6 and I-10 is amazing!!!! The Asian lady that runs it is the sweetest. When I do big orders for work, she'll try and give me a bunch of free stuff. I'm always like, "Nah, I'm good. I already have 10 dozen boxes!"
I love a well-executed, simple glazed donut. They also make really good cinnamon buns. The kolaches are kinda meh.

 

Never been to that one. The shops in Stafford/Sugar Land/Alief area don't have the friendliest of staff though

 

Hey any of y’all got an oem bottle jack you’d be willing to sell? Looking at 20$ HF/Amazon ones but don’t know if they fit rear seat mount. Thanks !

 

Good to know!! I saw on a map there is a possible water crossing. Was this me reading it wrong, or just something to worry about after rain in your opinion. Thanks in advance, want to try this with the wifes SUV
