Not much of a car scene anymore but I hear about some kids going to hang out from time to time. Every now and then we make it out to see what is going on at them. There are a lot of hot girls with Tech being here also. Just remember to look and don't touch! haha... I kid, I kid. We are local to Lubbock as well so if you ever need anything let us know.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the move. Anything is better than Abilene. I was just gonna have TSP do the exhaust work I wanna have done but when I called the other day they said they can't even touch the cats anymore. I'll check out those other places though. Really wanna do a full exhaust on my WS6.

Man I can relate to that. I was born there in '81... Went to Bowie Elementary and lived in a yellow house on Sayles Blvd that was literally two houses down from Mcmurray College between 18th and 19th st . haha This was over 15 years ago so I'm not sure if the house is still there. Needless to say I was glad when we left for Austin.
