Default New to DFW area
Hey everyone, just moved down here from Iowa and also just traded in my 2009 G8 GT for a low mileage 2001 WS6 TA M6. I was seeing if there were any meets or clubs around the area or even a car and coffee meet up. Looking forward for the responses!

Mudbugs is also acceptable.
Used to coax them out with bacon too, and use chicken for blue crabs when I lived on the gulf.

Waxahachie huh? I'm over in Burleson. I worked with some Honda guys from that area.
