Hey yall I have a question for the locals/students about the roads around town.Which roads should I avoid? I have true duels and longtubes, I would like to keep from becoming bent. Also do yall have meets or cruises of any sort around there? Does Texas State have a car club by any chance?

Avoid everywhere. This place sucks big **** if your trying to keep your car mint. Im lowered with LTs/TDs. And to be honest I can careless if my exhaust gets scraped(it will, nothing I can do about it). Im more worried about my paint. There is some kind of texas st car club. Never met w them before. Ive heard that gay cars show up.

Thread hijack...Where is that restaurant and what is the name of it...maybe close to the campus and right on the river? They've got American food like burgers/fries/etc.

Edit:
Nevermind...found it.

Too be honest. I havent even looked at my exhaust. but then again. I take everything slow. I dont think anything will happen to your exhaust if you dont haul *** everywhere.
