You'll be fine. I spent most my time in Austin, but I never had anybody give me crazy looks. Austin is kind of different from the rest of Texas, though.

Do you, by chance, have a bumper sticker with a rainbow reading "out and proud"? That may explain it.

They probably thought you were some Cheech and Chong watching, grease burnin' hippies from the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia. But you drove through Dallas which explains alot, cause Dallas smells funny, and the smell is so bad that it makes them mad all the time. Why else do you think JimmyL collects fans? To help blow the smell away that's why, I think he's aiming his fans south because Houston is starting to stink as well

If you had taken I-10 through San Antonio and Houston, you probably would have seen more MBs, esp. between Houston and San Antonio. I-20 passes through Midland and Odessa along the way to Dallas, and Midland is the only town on I-20 in Texas besides the DFW area to have a MB dealer. Abeline is pretty good sized and doesn't have one, yet Tyler which is smaller and Beaumount which is about the same size as Abeline have MB dealers.

Well, it's ready, about a week and a half late, but I picked it up yesterday. Here's what I thought would be ready in time for the meet.

Revisiting this past thread and wanted to show what some of us car maniacs have been up too lately .Example is TylerH860 is Tyler Hoovie from Hoovies Garage , a YouTube smash with over 1 m subscribers , damn , He polished up his gig of a used car lot owner with some nicely edited ideas and is now set to be an icon ,started it by burning rubber in his 300d , as much as possible.Things never change.

His burning rubber at the state park almost got this meet squashed 12 years ago, but one guy can't stop a good thing.
