Default New Texas boy signin up!

Well hello guys!

Finally got out of my Honda stage and decided to buy a real car, that has real power.

I grew up at Center Street, Spikewood, Brittmore, Rankin Circle, ect ect.. This was in the mid to late 90's (im only 22 now)

My dad had a red 93 Z28, with a huge 5.0 with a circle around it with a slash through it. He got TONS of **** from the Ford guys, but always whooped up on them.


I myself just bought a 95 Z28 with a few things done. (ZR1 Wheels and small stuff).


I hope to make quite a few friends on here because im into the other side of the car scene now since i stepped away from these honda toys.


Later guys!
Rodney

My dad actully sold his in 2000.

My mom got pissed at the thousands of dollars he was spending and the new tires every weekend routine.


I'll get some pics up when its worth taking pictures of. It needs a good claybar job and some wax.


When is some meets? If you have any that is.

Your generation and many before it. Center hit MTV's national top 10 cruise locations in 86 or 87. DPPD had a major event shortly after. They were diverting all traffic into parking lots and searching the cars. I remember watching all the pissed off people. That slowed it down some, but it kept
goin.

I remember Rankin and Airport too.

Yeah, Center was THE place to be back in the 80's, that is if you didn't want to drive all the way out to Westheimer. Both of those places were the ****, especially Westheimer on Saturday nights. The only imports you saw back then were German with occaisional Italian thrown in.
