Default Just moved to Houston

Hey folks i recently moved to Houston from the Dallas area. I am looking for suggestions on what there is to do around here. I live in the River Oaks/Galleria area, is there anything automotive related in the area or in general? Directions or addresses would be awesome since I am not familiar with anything here honestly.

Thanks

Definitely anything Houston Performance Driving does. From Meets, Dyno Days/Nights, Photo Shoots, Cruises, Private Meets, and Exclusive events. Such as ADV.1 Wheels, EVS Motors, SONY, and RWD Vodka.

Another great event in your area is Supercar Saturday's and when Houston Coffee and Cars ramps up.

I live right around the corner from there... It's good, but there is no way I would wait in the lines they have for it again. You can go to Central Texas BBQ 1/4 mile down the street, wait, and be done eating before you get inside the door at Killen's.

If you do decide to go to Killen's, there is a car show every Friday nite as long as it's decent at the Lowes right down the road.
