I'm not much of a mall rat, but when I do go, there's some eye candy to be seen some of the time. :cool:

Rules of Texas :

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

3. They are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.

4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

8. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.

10. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Picante Sauce!! Oh, yeah, we don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat. IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio and real chili never met a bean!

12. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

13. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.

15. Colleges? Try Texas Tech, Texas A&M or University of Texas. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.

16. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, than any other state, so 'Don't Mess with Texas'. If you do, you will get whupped by the best.

17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said: 'Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States can't make it without Texas!'

Texas is the greatest state ever!!

Chili is a bean sauce poured over rice.

PS [trolling for R Leo .... trolling ... trolling ...]

Right by River Legacy Park - N.Collins & Green Oaks....

I'm by Traders Village (I-20 & 360). Do you ever go to the MB tech sessions?

Go forth and Google....

Just moved here last October. Haven't had the chance to get to any yet...

Still bored, and still in Texas....






I found a shop thats going to do the alignment on the car, as well as replace some parts that crapped out on the way here.

So what shop are you using?

FWIW, I don't know what to do either when it's 107 out. I flopped in the backyard pool yesterday, and the dang thing was hot - 90 degrees. Not refreshing at all.

Autoscope should be able to fix whats going on with the car...

I went to them once. Their prices are higher than a cats ass. I ended up going to Park Place MB on 183. With my Mercedes club discount on parts and labor, MB was less. Plus I get a loaner car.

HA, I eat at that Krystal Burger off Mayfield and 360 at times. :D





Ah, I'm off 287/I20.

If I knew you were in town, I would have had you meet my indie! He could probably have you back on the road 100% and outta this hot-as-hell part of the country before you know it!

Diesel Drag Races on 287 !!!! We'll smoke out half of Tarrant County !! :D

Autoscope is very good, you should be satisfied with the work. They rebuilt the front suspension on my 124. The cost was unbelievable, but so was the result.
