Calling all Texas peoples!, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, etc Options

Call alto auto salvage. Talk to Juan [helps if you speak spanish] and get a used low mileage 5S. We can help you put it in. Shouldn't take more than a weekend and most of HTC will work for beer.

that sounds great! to bad my mechanical skill's are only basic knowledge, my only concern is how can i tell if my motor is warrped or has been in a wreck. nothing against junkyards i go off of north shepard to find little knick knackparts all the time but how will i find a motor that's in alright condition. im sure the guys down there will try to say anything to get that engine of their lot. and im pretty sure that 90% of all cars that end up at a junkyard has been totaled and considered to be unfit for a reconditioned title.

True - I don't really think there is anyway to tell.

any updates with new dates?

[Negative]

I'm coming down again for the weekend of July 4th. I'm not even gonna attempt to make this a meet but if others wanna meet up I'm sure we could make this successful. First thing would need to be finding cheap but descent hotel accomodations. Would be nice if one of the SA guys could help out with this.

depends on what side or town you wanta stay

[Negative]

By the Alamo. The nice place on the Riverwalk with the huge atrium and indoor Mall would be nice but I think I paid close to $200.00 to stay there once. My second choice would be the Red Roof Inn near the Alamo on the other side of the freeway and if I remember correctly was fairly reasonable with advance notice. Maybe one or the other will give a discount for multiple rooms with advance notice. If you have time - see what you can find out. Assume 3-5 rooms with 2 people per.
At worst there is the Motel 6 on I-10 nearest SA. I think it's only like $60 with no notice. Whatever you do - aviod the Motel 6 [or Best western maybe] on the south side of the Alamo near market square or whatever [no idea what the directions are tho] - GHETTO. My car almost got broken into and we caught the hotel staff in our room when we specifically told the same people to stay out. Needless to say we stayed for free that weekend.

why not near la cantera (the new badass mall they built near fiesta texas

[Negative]

Yeah but isn't that one the south side? Kind of farther for the rest of us from other cities. Plus you don't know HTC yet but the older members will want to drink after the car stuff and being able to stumble back to the hotel from Riverwalk would be great. We don't want any drinking and driving you know

[spolski07]

la cantera is the center of the richest part of town...
but yeah drinking and driving = bad
just traffic around downtown = really bad
and its a bitch to get down there and back w/o sitting in traffic for 2 hours...
but ill see what i can do

sorry i didnt check this thread sooner spolski, but it would have been hard to leave my city this past weekend with my car as it is still restricted under txdot, im in the process of getting the paperwork finished this week as well as insured.

La Cantera area is sweeet, thats the area where you can find what I call the SA-Touge lol!

Maybe next weekend, and i'd like to see the white car as i might take it off ur hands:)

That's a great fcuking idea. Of the top of your head do you remember the date? I have notes on it but it would take a little bit to get to them. It's either the 24th of June or July - I can't remember the month but I remember the date LOL.

BTW - How goes the repairs on T-spoon? You can borrow my stock hood if you need to until you can afford another one. Just don't paint it.

I don't know what's out in SA besides the River Walk and the Alamo, so we really need the people from SA to step up to the plate and help us out with what's around the city. IE restaurants, hotels, scenic areas, etc. We need you guys to seriously throw out suggestions left and right as soon as they pop into your mind. The sooner they are suggested, the sooner we can have a definite plan laid down.
