I'd rather do something more like The Oasis. Kinda like we did last time. Probably not the same place but something like it. It was a cool restaurant with an amazing view of Lake Travis.

And i don't think the go-karts would be necessary because unlike houston in austin we have places we can drive our fits like go-karts. but thats just me

I've been real busy with looking for our first house and all. So that's why you havn't heard much about the next meet. I'm going to start doing some leg work come next week and will post up a for sure date sometime within the next two weeks.

Haha, we have Bone Daddy's up here. Not a bad place. I usually like trying a non chain restaurant when I'm out of town. I don't think go-karting would be fun for Austin. Man I was so sore at Track 21 on the next day. I was hurtin! And I think the bigger you are, the more its gonna hurt lol. We got to get Arick on this run again. The roads in Austin are interesting. Especially the Buzzards that nearly caused a 10 Fitfreak accident lol.

Anyone going to the Houston Auto Show the this month? It starts the 24th and ends on the 30th I think.

Hubby and boys ALWAYS go. I sometimes go. I used to go when the boys were littler but now it's become a Dad-and-Teens outing. I like the vintage autos the best anyway. And the freakish concepts.



If you're going, pick me up some Magic Shammys, would 'ja?

I guess the Oasis is back in operation...It burned a couple of years ago, you know. Maybe last year, I lose track.

I will be in Dallas at the end of Feb for an ADHD conference, but I'm driving, not flying. Don't want to put that many miles on my car, although it would be a nice quiet drive just by myself.

I'm definitely going to the show, its someone my uncle, cousin and I usually do every year. But you should go too, you may pass a Fit driver that returns waves.

Wear something Fit-themed so I can pick you out of the crowd, OK?

(That's sarcasm, there are always so many people there it makes my head spin!)

LOL It wouldn't be too hard to to spot me in a crowd, spikey mini-dreads FTW! The amount of people that go to the show can get pretty ridiculous; there will be a couple hundred when the doors open at 10 AM the first day and then by noon the really big crowds come in.

Did you go to the show last year? There was a BBP GD3 on display and a bright blue Corvette hanging from the ceiling over in the Chevy section.

I don't personally, but have you tried right clicking the pic, going to view pic, copy/cut the link url, click the icon and pasting the url there?

No, the boys went by themselves last year. I wasn't yet in love with the Fit but the 'Vette probably would have caught my eye. When I started looking for a new car last year, I was thinking I'd just get another Camry. Then hubby pointed me toward the Rav4, but I didn't like it that much...I looked at other hatchbacks and finally found the Fit...went around and around with myself, trying to convince myself I didn't want a Honda (been loyal Toyota owner until now) and finally found a photo of the BBP color on this forum, flipped over in love with it and then couldn't buy one b/c the cars were disappearing from auto lots all over the US.

I still get tickled that I have my 1st choice color car...I love it...love it!

I took about 40+ pic's in a matter of 5 min's and she was getting tired of me shooting her. I think the true side of her comes out after I make her sweat a bit.

I shot those on my friends SD card because I maxed mine out at the workshop. I've been waiting on him to let me have the disk of everything I shot at the autocross that day. But, when I do get them, I'll post 'em up.
