Please everyone that is interested let me know. If the weather permits I will be bbq'ing, and we can talk turbos vs superchargers etc... maybe we can help with others installs. I live in 77057, so please check that and I will work out parking to the best of my ability depending on the user response. So everyone that wants to go please let me know..

Thanks,..

i'm not sure if you saw my post in the other thread or not. but i was wondering if we could make it the weekend before or the weekend right after that date. I realized i have company flying in that day. I am already gonna miss this one in September and I would really like to make it to the next one. so let me know if that will be a possibility. thanks

Damn, wish I lived in houston. If I did then the navy would pay 100% of my college, but here in Oklahoma they only pay 50%. Only problem is I don't know anyone there and have no job there haha. They would give me $750 a month for housing there too!! Sucks. lol.

prohibit are you active duty? when i was in they payed 100% in only some areas but not too long after i got out i thought they changed it to 100% everywhere.

also i'd like to make this but the date is too far away to know for sure at the moment.

Nah, veteran status :headbang:

I am getting this money from the Post 9/11 GI Bill. I'm entitled to 50% but texas cost of living is more than oklahoma so I get more for housing.

Also, the amount of money they give per credit hour differs from state to state depending on how many private schools the state has. In Oklahoma I get $160 a credit hour. My school costs like $460 a credit hour. In houston I get $1,000+ per credit hour and the school I would transfer to also only costs $460 per credit hour.

frownonfun
09-12-2009, 01:47 AM
oooh... i see. sounds complicated. i have the old school GI Bill and Navy College Fund. i'm pretty sure they pay me the same no matter where i go. only based on whether i take full time, 3/4 time, or 1/2 time.

Prohibit
09-12-2009, 02:23 AM
Yeah.. I have to be full time with the post 9/11 bill. I work 60 hours a week and go to school full time.. zzzz.... So what was your rate?

You can get a CAI and Sway bar at the dealership. I got my CAI from www.yarisuniverse.com when he was still in business and my sway bar from the dealership that I bought my car at

chongopants
09-14-2009, 04:11 PM
yeah but they want like $400 for a CAI, and its just a pipe... $60 bux on ebay. They are WAY high on all their prices, and the product is usually not that great.

Well I have a few tools there, and I have just moved in, so if you dont wanna hunt for them in boxes I would bring what you need. It might be a good idea if we dont do any major installs this time b/c of my new place, not real sure what they will say about that. I will try and find out. Also what is a good time for everyone to meet, I say we all need to be there by 4pm, I know I will. I will PM everyone on the list my address. Keeping that private for obvious reasons. If parking gets crowded there is public one block away.

Gonna be FUN!

So what time is all this going to start.
I was going over the days that I have off and I just realized that I wont get much time with my family in Austin, so if its in the morning that will be great!! beacuse I then can spend like 3 hr and then head back to Austin and after finding out its actually a 17 hr drive and not 15 I am going to be even more tired not to mention heading back to Louisville ufff its a long ass drive oh oh I wanted to take my wife to SanAntonio since she has never been to TX unlike me I just to live there. Hopefully everyone agrees to make it in the morning.

my husband said he wanted to try to take me to san antonio while we were in TX. we dont have a lot of time tho considering the really LOONNGG drive we will have to make to get to TX.his family lives in austin.

10-16-2009, 11:18 PM
well i can't say that the alamo is all that much to look at by itself but the whole overall river walk experience is pretty nice. better when you have time to enjoy it though. lots of nice restaurants and places to get your drink on.

were you trying to go to san antonio before or after the meet? i'm guessing after and that's why you would prefer to meet in the morning?

JumpmanYaris
10-17-2009, 12:43 AM
Well if the meets is in the morning then we have the rest of the day to spend with my family and take my wife to see some of san antonio and austin. We will be getting there late so its probably going to be after the meet, if its goiing to be in the afternoon then i am sorry to say we might not make it as much as i hate

I will be driving to Houston Friday night with my son. If anyone is there Saturday morning and wants to take over an IHOP or Dennys, hang out or go sight-seeing, please let me know. I would love to have something to do with my son and the group before the actual meet starts that evening.

I don't know where Chongo's place is but there's got to be something we can do as a group before that afternoon.

Please, let me know. Especially JumpMan and Dandi. :)

10-18-2009, 10:22 PM
Ok folks, I've been thinking about this and I think we really need to do something. We have 2 people from out of state that would like to be part of our meet this time.

I think that's outstanding and, although they have other reasons for coming to Texas, I think we need to show them some support and hospitality and have a little fun before our scheduled meet.

I mean no disrepect to Chongo or anyone else involved with this month's meet. It's tough to get one of these organized for a local group or even a state group but we should pull together and take over a Dennys or an IHOP that morning and hang out during the early part of the day Saturday.

Is there anyone else willing to show up Saturday morning for breakfast or brunch or something? Come on folks :) we need everyone's help to make it work.

10-19-2009, 12:02 AM
Ok, I'm planning on IHOP or Dennys, one of the two. I have no clue where the closest one is to 610 and Federal but I'm going to find it and go there. Or, if anyone else has a suggestion, we'll go there but for now, plan on a Dennys or an IHOP close to 610 and Federal for Saturday morning. :)

This'll be cool to meet new folks and see friends again.

S.R. :biggrin:

SaerinRhoe
10-19-2009, 12:28 AM
Ok, based on the IHOP website, the closest IHOP to where I'll be at is going to be:
IHOP #1910
15 E Crosstimbers Street
HOUSTON, TX 77022-6216
713-694 8900

Is everyone ok with meeting there Saturday morning? We can start gathering there at like... 8am or 8:30am and make adjustments from there. I know a couple of people are working Saturday morning or have school so this is definitely a flexible time for the IHOP but please post your thoughts on this.

Thanks,
