Okay, as mentioned in this thread, we're going to get together to visit the Dallas Auto Show as a group. I've proposed 1pm on Saturday as a meeting time - we can meet at the entrance.
Let us know if you can make it!

Barbara and I will be taking the ThunderRocket to Austin for Lonestar Roundup.

The music alone is worth the drive, a 1000 of the best hot rods is too.
There will be real hot rods from all over the country rolling toward Austin, so keep a eye peeled.
A large gaggle is gathering at Czech Stop in West Friday Morning as always.
:drive::drive::drive::drive::drive::drive::drive:
I would love to go if it were free.
Not only would I have to spend money to get in I am a recovering car addict.
So a Car Show is like taking a recovering alcoholic to a liquor store... heck having your nice RX-8 in my garage a few weekends ago made me sweat. ;)
I think it's 8 or 11 bucks to get in but I may have a few extra free tickets. I'll check and let you know.Quote:

As usual, life has reared its ugly head. My home alarm went on the fritz (going off at 4 this morning. :banghead: ), and the only appt. I can get for someone to come out and fix it is 12-5pm on Saturday. :(
Just turn it off and keep a bat by the door.Quote:

Drift alert. Is it the battery? Mine did that and I called for a service dude (and I got serviced). In hindsight I could have bought a replacement battery off ebay for a fraction of the cost.Quote:

It certainly has turned against me lately. Thankfully the roof turned out to be something I could (and did) fix myself.Quote:

If I disco the battery myself while the unit still has house power the alarm will go off, and if I shut off the house power and disco the battery apparently all hell will break loose when I power it up again unless I have some special service tool. How convenient. :?
::Censor:: technology.
Every 20 minutes on weekends, except for early mornings/late nights where it is every 30 minutes. I usually take the train to get around Plano/Richardson and rarely go that far south, so I needed to look up when I need to board to get to downtown (11:47am in my case).Quote:

So who's still planning on going?
Just swing by the Smart booth and pick up a car to drive around in the show. ;)Quote:

It's across from the Chrysler exhibt in the F Hall with the Corvette Legends of Texas display.
Dark green with side pipes.
If you see an ugly Rude Dog hanging a round it's me so say hi.
Have fun.
I'll be at Mockingbird station around 1130 for lunch then taking the DART to the auto show.
It looks like I will be sitting this one out afterall. Sorry
I haven't been out of the house in a meaningful way in awhile now. I guess I will come and sort out the schoolwork later.
Where will you be having lunch, Cosmo?
I got there about 12PM, sorry I didn't meet you guys. It was fun. I was surprised at the Saturn Astra 3 door. The rear seat access was easy but the doors were huge. I also reaffirmed my decision of getting the Miata over the Solstice as the right one. Mainly because the Miata gets better mileage and I can actually use the trunk with the top down. Plus the Solstice's drive tunnel is too wide and presses against my knee.
I also like the Mazda 3, and I was somewhat surprised to see a Mazda 6 5-door (the one with the liftback). The biggest surprise for me though was the Cadillac CTS. I really liked the interior and everything seemed to be well arranged and within easy each.
