First post ......so let me begin by saying "thanks ya'll" for all the incredible info I have been able to access here...it made buying my truck alot eaiser. An informed buyer holds the best hand when playing with a salesman.



I look forward everyday to my drive in my 06 Scab Lariat.

I live in Austin so I will try and make this meet-up if for no other reason than to put faces to names.

I also look forward to seeing your many modes........it should be like going to a showroom and being able to pick first hand the designs you like.

Do you need map or other info about the "Dam" Fine event?

Would anybody mind if I brought my dog with me? He would be kept on a leash at all times.

You mean you haven't read all 180+ posts? For shame...

Mine is coming along, she'll be happy to see another one. She's not too keen on getting "mounted" anymore since she busted her hip, but gets along very well with other pups besides that.

Oh snap... kinda missed that

My dog is a little spazzy... very friendly, but spazzy. He's only 3. But like I said he will be leashed at all times.

Trebor - I've been in the area since 1964.

You just awoke an old memory about the dam: driving across it at 1 in the morning with open headers at 100+. '66 Mustang, 289, 6-pack, 310/425 cam, 12.5:1, C4. My friends told me the sound could be faintly heard in Westlake Hills along the river. Of course this was at a time when there were only two stores and no traffic signals between Johnson's Tradin' Post in Bee Cave and the Dam (~1968-9?). Couldn't do that now.

Maybe some more nostalgia on Saturday - see'ya!!

My travel plans have changed. I won't be able to respond to posts tomorrow - Wednesday night at the earliest. 'Til then, keep up the enthusiasm and the chat about our picnic. Try to stay on topic (I've abused that, I know).

Later.

Hey John - we may be old but wise. We're ready to teach. Are you ready to learn? (LOL) Personally I'm old, fat and ugly - and proud of it.

Wow...13 pages...incredible how much interest this has generated.

Can't wait 'til Saturday. I'm thinking about bringing the R/C airplane and doing a little flying around. If I can get my console done in time, you guys might be the first to see it.
