and you gotta love the -700ft DA we get at HRP in november, lol. houston has its high points. its like any other big city... there are nice parts and there are slums. don't get me wrong, i like portland, but i won't be moving back anytime soon. car scene here is about 500 times better then portland. i came back for a summer my sophmore year of college and got 2 races all summer... a stock corvette and a wrx, lol. i dunno, to each his own, but i was of the same oppinion most of you are about texas till i moved here
