You can count me in too. Like Impulse, I also have silly work schedule, but I'll try to work around it somehow.

Hey, confusion! Nice to see you here again. So how're the tints? I can't wait to check it out.

any ideas for a location? I haven't had much time to explore Austin as I got shipped to Iraq pretty fast after moving to TX. Does May 31 or June 1 work for those with "crazy work schedules"?

it's hard for me to think that far out but atm, that date looks clear.

how's the arboretum area for everyone? it's reasonable for me. i know it's good for vinman. any other ideas?

no idea what or where the arboretum is :iono: but I'm in!

other option could be a park with a cook out spot and a good parking lot for pics. Maybe at a lake or something? I'm flexible...

Texas registration is dirt cheap. I think everything for the first year totaled to under $100. Back in AZ I was paying over $300 on a 5 year old car.

Sorry guys, I'll be out of town on May 31 and June 1. I can meet up again the next time round.
BTW, my car has 10 miles left until it's broken-in!!! I'm going to open up that engine tomorrow. Actually, I've been driving it pretty hard since passing the 1000 mile mark, but never passing 5500 revs. I can't wait!
