View Full Version : Houston: Get togethers, car shows, and general shenanigans

Look fellas,
I'm gunna be honest. I've put no more than 900 miles total on my 3 fun vehicles within the last 2 years. They are bored, and I am bored. They just sit, and it makes me sad. Most of the reason that they sit is because I don't have any car friends around here. I live in the heights, where people seem to be "eco friendly" and want to talk about low-energy charging strategies for their Nissan Leaf, not where to find the best lead fuel additive or how to make your S62 sound even better.
Hell, last time I took the old Merc out, somebody actually yelled at me because "I am a horrible disrespectful person for parking it in one of the electric-car-only spots." Listen, if you're going to give 5 spots right up front to cars that don't exist in this city, I'm going to find an alternative use for them. Plus, it's much more eco-friendly for me to go straight to the open spot than hunt around for a spot while getting 6 mpg. I feel like y'all would have backed me up on that.
When I search for car stuff on google, I find "Los Magnificos Hydraulic Hop Contest" and garbage like that...or high schooler prelude gatherings at the local autozone just in case one of them doesn't start.
Where are all you guys?? Let's get srs and plan a lovely pick-nick or something.

My parents live out in Katy, I'm there all the time, but usually in my company vehicle. The M5 is having some audio enhancements done over the weekend, and now that it's cold out it'll get a lot more time on the streetz, yo.
Let's get a group together and grill some animals.

A friend of mine did a lovely photoshoot down near Rice. The first few pictures are screwed up because the angle of the road confused the ride-height sensors and it looked as though it was tipping forward. The rest are reeel gewd.

You also have the VW's up there. Your m5 wouldn't happen to be black with black style 65s, by any chance right? I feel the same way about my e39. Still waiting to get the e34 to get swapped.
I'm all ears for anything you want to set up.

I'm down hanging with non-douche canoe people at some joint on the north side. My little monster patrols the upper half of the city due to its thirst of E85, and I know where to let it drink accordingly.
I just hate the 'crowd'- say, at the Cons at 45/cypress wood. bunch a kids/bro-kids/punks who thinks their 91 civic is the fastest shit on this side of the planet, thinks the best conversation with someone else is about what color he's gonna paint his interior trim- where to buy bulk plasti-dip, what color should he paint his rims next- how his 4" piston 34:1 compression NOS'ed 4 cylinder on the desktop dyno shows it makes 500 hp and it runs 10 seconds.
they all did go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=140S4LkQxxA
when I rolled in on the highest setting on the 'merc, took a nice slow creep up every single row of cars, then dropped it in front of them :D

No, my M5 is carbon black on stock color style 65's. I've never hung out with the VW crowd, do they talk about things other than VR6's?

Depending on the person it is. There's a nice amount of the VW crowd that doesn't, but there's those who do. Still a m5.

I like the sound of this. And I am fairly close to the Heights. Let's do something one of these weeknights. Even a quick bite or a drink or something, just to get the ball rolling.
Or get the Thursday night genghis grill meets back up and running.

Hello
Looks like I will be spending a lot of time in Houston starting at the end of this year. Not sure about the weekends but I'll stay for a few if something is planned. Probably sending my 88 E24 M6 over there sometime in January. I'd love to join in on some old school gatherings. Nice mercedes by the way.

Its just where we've been going for the past few years. Its easy, parking is ample and they can seat a bunch of us at one big party table and we don't have to worry about taking everyone's order. The shopping center it is in in a decent middle ground for all the katy and central houston people. We tried freebirds one time but not everyone got to sit at same table so it split the group.

I was hoping to get the E39 M5 out there as well, but I made the mistake of taking it to Momentum to have them fix a repair they botched....and they are going on a week and have yet to put any parts on. BigUgly would have had this done in a day (But not for free).

Well i entered a contest and won this. But depending on the quality of your paint, how far you want to go with scratch removal(how badly its scratched) and overall finish you want. A detail ranges from $400 and up. $400 is the base and thats what i received with this detail. But my car wasnt terrible with scratches
But if you want a better price quote:

Are you going to be at Cars and Coffee on Saturday? I'll have both my M5 and my W108 there, both just detailed buy one of BigUgly's friends. He does a phenominal job and only charges about $280 per car for a 10 hour interior/exterior detailing service. Come check the cars out and see if you want to use him. The Merc hadn't been detailed in about 30 years, and it looks brand new. The M5 was covered in swirls from sitting at Momentum BMW for 3 months and then they basically washed it with sandpaper...and he removed every single damn blemish.
He has a 7 month backlog for weekend details, but can usually get you in within a week or two if you can drop it off on a Tuesday and pick it up on Thursday.,

Erg valve?
For the lower hose, be sure to grab a 13.62.1.743.299 o-ring from the dealer since your temp sensor will likely leak when reinstalled. Mine did, we have the same car, niiiice.

I got on the on-ramp to I45 from Downtown this morning, and a few hundred feet found myself going sideways. :shifty Wound up sliding into the right side of the overpass with my front bumper, the concrete scratched right through the plastic and the front end is tweaked a bit now. Fortunately I was in my Murano and not the E39.
The crappy part is that my work was cancelled anyway so I went for nothing. When I came back around 9, damn near every bridge and overpass on I-10 near Downtown was shut down. I tried to take the 45 South ramp, got to the top, lost traction, and coasted to the bottom back on to I-10, which the cops shut down right behind me. Fuuuun morning haha.

Tiger, thanks for the heads up and Part no. Erg Valve is Part of secondary Air System. It was throwing a fault Code so i just replaced it.
I really want to make it to some of These Meets. If I can just get the car to cooperate lol. The cooling hose is actually fine. It's the damn seal that's shot. Since you can't buy it separately, I had to buy the whole unit.

I just got back from driving to seguin... The way back was a pain in the ass.. Oversize load trailers.. Took an extra hour. Then freeways were already being per-apt for tomorrow's madness. Take a couple videos of the dummies you haul out.

So theres a decent food truck park on hwy 6 that we can have meets at. Its rock driveway but very low friendly and wont hurt anything especially when driving slow. Ton of space in the back for parking on grass and away from prying eyes as well, plus there's always a variety of food trucks there so no one is held to one type of food. Say every third friday or saturday or something?

And that wont change seeing as its on thursdays and the food truck park isnt even open then. We have nothing on the weekends though and usually the ghengis grill meets just "happen" instead of having something on a consistent basis every month.

Reason why we don't have a regular bimmer meets is because hardly anyone shows up. 20 ppl will be interested and 3-4 show up. That's how it's been the past few years

and dan is right. I didnt make the Genghis Grill Meets a regular thing bc no one shows up(usually its me, dan, tony and piotr). I found if i just spring it on you guys them more come out. IF youw ant to make it a monthly thing I will make it that.

Trust me its belly dragging friendly you have to see it for yourself. Plus its only about 50ft or so and then you can get the car on grass (of course we could only meet during "dry conditions" :shifty ). As far as the Ghengis meets I see what you mean and last minute is a lot better than none at all.
The food truck park used to actually be a car dealership that flipped old muscle cars and vintage Ferrari's for what its worth. Shame they always had a Testarossa sitting outside in the elements for about 2 years before someone came and bought it.

You can show your car or park on the sidelines. It is an all day event, show area is separated from the rest of parked vehicles, there is 1/4 mile racing going on all day at the strip, and occasionally drift teams like "neverslo" show up and give people drift rides on their drifters around a preset "circuit" in exchange for $10 or $20. There is usually a bikini contest of some sort, and an automotive model (sexy mamasita) who will be present to take pictures and sign autographs/sell posters, or whatever it is they do... Pretty cool event IMO.
