    Where did you move to?

    Dallas/Fort Worth area has a 1st gen celica club, but they like all old jap iron.

    In Houston we have BYE, TRfknD, 22R all Motor, Suzuki07, and me.

    Austin, IDK.

    Oh and I was born in California. 10,000X better here in every way. Hope your enjoying it here.

    That's good to know.. I haven't seen a single yota mini around here.. seems like they're pretty non existing here.. when to pick n pull and didn't find any toyotas... kinda bummed about that..

    I moved to Dallas/Fort Worth area.. still haven't adjusted to the heat.. It's really getting to me 'cuz I don't have a/c on my truck..


    Does your truck have AC? if not.., how do you freakin deal with it?:shrug:

    Howdy partner! :lol: always wanted to say that... :lol:

    You'll get used to the heat, not sure how humid it is up there tho. The humidity is the one that will get ya! Oklahoma has a nice stash of yota's just gotta look around, that's where my 82 came from... Good luck with the search!

    Oh and I'm not sure about shows were "all go no show" down here... :evil:

    nice to see you back on the forum danny!

    i love az. it's hot but AZ has awesome shows and the most well maintained roads i've ever seen! cali is like studder bumps on every road. if texas is worse then i have no plans of going there lol.

    Welcome to Texas bro. I'm actually visiting my Pop's before he heads to Afghan to make some mula as a contractor. But, I stay in Htown with the rest of the guys from down there. It's hot and humid here but cost of living is waaaaay cheaper then Cali! lol

    You all crazy:looney: Cali is were it's at. Good weather. Good girls. Good shows. Great shops :clapping:. There like 5 song that sing about Cali. Lol.


    But have fun in Texas. I spent 5 month in dallas. And I went to fort worth all the time. They have the worlds biggest swap meet out there, called trader village. And there a 3 story club in dallas called the purgatory. Botten floor is hell. The center floor is purgatory. And the top floor is haven. And I blive there a VIP room above that. It's a fun club with collage is in.

    They are hard to find down here simply because most of them get/got sent south of the border.

    You picked the worst time to move here too, 70 degree Christmas nobody complains, but it gets stedily warmer after that. Youll feel like dying, then after a few months youll be fine. :waytogo:

    And no I dont have AC. Ive been DD my mustang, but I do have 90% of the stuff to convert my truck to AC. Its not hard if your wondering.

    Nah, bro if you have lots of money Cali is where it's at because of the expensive cost of living. But, I have so many friends and family members that I know of that live there and have it hard living paycheck to paycheck. Not a way to live. :( Here in Texas where the wife and I have awesome jobs and the cost of living is low we get to do what we want! Travel, eat out, and we even bought a house when we got here 5 years ago. Again if I had the cash maybe Cali but Texas is awesome except for the heat and humidity! lol

    Hey Bernie.. Thanks man.. I've been around.. Just been crazy busy.. And yeah.. These roads suck!! Texans are crazy drivers btw.. Your typical gramma is running you off the road here.. Insanity.. A couple of days ago I saw like 5 accidents in like a 5 mile radius.. I was like.. Where did I come to live? It's not bad though.. Like every other city that has its pros and cons.,
    Cali is nice!
    Yeah.. Im still looking fir ac components, but gonna have to wait a little.. I need fix some issues with the transmission first..
    that's what I'm thinking of doing.
