Default Lafayette LA

I work off shore and the commute to the heliport from Houston is starting to suck, not to mention being 6-7 hours from the office in Harvey when I need to go in or get called out for a job and need to be in Galliano or Houma at 5am the next morning. Lafayette seems about right since it's closer to Houston then Harvey but a good bit closer to the office than Houston is. Also not that far from the heliports I fly out of. Whats the car scence like out there? Also what areas suck? I didn't really care much for living in New Orleans when I was there. Looking forward to no emissions testing.

there is quite a few f-body,vettes, mustangs, and hot rods around lafayette. but its just kinda hard to get everyone together.

If you go to LS2.com in the louisiana section there is a lafayette thread. there is about 20 of us in there i guess

Looking at this summer, just dependant on a few factors with work. When are your usual meet days? Since I come up 90 to get to I-10, I'll most likley have to stay a day or two over the weekend to apartment hunt. The T/A isn't stock but I most likley will leave it in Houston where it has a garage to stay in.

hey guys the more the better.
just letting you know we are having a meet tomorrow night @7:00 @ sonic on Johnston street.

It sounds like we will start the Weekly meets off there. Then if we have trouble with rice or low-riders coming in our meets we will find another spot.

If you want to really be informed go to LS2.COM in the louisiana section we have a thread just for the lafayette locals come say hey.

I used to fly out of Intercoastal, since the last hurricane I fly out of Patterson. Where are you flying from?

edit: just saw HUM or GAO, must be PHI
