Houston here.
There is a local board, but it tends to be rather vacant with not much traffic.
www.houston-f-body.org.

Most of us hang around here or at www.camaroz28.com.

Moving to Houston with your girlfriend huh...lol. Texas has alot of hot girls and some drive f-body's...lol.

No shutting down an airport here. We just use the street named Rankin Rd. The cops come, we leave. Next weekend we show right back up.
