Im ready to do it whenever. This time, maybe we should try meeting up on a Saturday. That way if after the cruise a few of us wanna go grab some beers or go do something else, we're not pressed for time and trying to get home because of work.

I dont think there is another GTG planned yet, but next time you're in Lake Jackson, bring the TA. There are usually a few people up at the Hobby Lobby parking lot on Friday and Saturday nights. Nothing special but a few of us hang out and you can usually catch a run if you're looking for one.

Will do... I'm going to try and make it down there in a few weeks or so. I'll be in the black TA on slicks and skinnies, you can't miss me. Not really looking for a race, it's still far from tuned.

Just let me know when you plan on coming out, I'll make sure to swing by. Most of the time, you have to look for a race, other than that, its just some car guys out shooting the ****.

Wow, looks like I'm a little late! It was cool meeting everyone, and the cars were awesome! Had a good time, and hope to do it again.

I met your friend with the black lightning, Jeff. He was a cool guy and that truck runs good too. You should start bringing him to more meets.
Yeah, I would love to come out to more meets.

Maybe we can set something up before too long, that is if my exhaust doesnt fall off.
I'll run ya, next time we meet at a GTG or something. Not anytime real soon though, the truck is going into the shop on Wed.

Ha, I wish I had a run with someone on the cruise. I didn't really expect to or really plan on it but, it would have been intresting.

Sure, if you want. Once the truck is running good again.

I would like to run him, I think he would pull on me, but it would still be fun.
Haha, you really need to get that fixed.

Here are a few pics I took (Sorry for the size 56Kr's):

Oh and Chad what's with the Lightning in your sig???

Thats a friends truck. That guy I was telling you about thats trying to sell his. Name is Chris Jones, he probably posts on HALO, just not very much.

Nice pics btw, and we're having another GTG on July 22. Theres a thread about it, you should swing by. BTW, whats up with the truck? Hopefully nothing major.

Ah, that's right, I remember talking about him.

July 22nd, yeah, I can probably do that.

I'm not totally sure what's up with the truck, it was running really rough, shaking alot and stuff. So My friend and I put new plugs in thinking that would be the problem and 3 of the old plugs were burnt to hell and one of them even had some of the insulation missing! So we change them and the problem is still there, so that's why I'm taking it in. It needs to be retuned anyways so we'll see what happens.
