It's a 5-6 hour drive to the Twisted Sisters from where I live... should I come and spend the night before to get ready for the run? Trying to decide if it's worth it...
>>
>>16675149
I'm going to try and make it since your going be just west of San Antonio. I would post my car but I don't want to attract all trolls/fanbois, so we'll just say it's a candy apple red Japanese sports coupe and leave it at that.

Less Craigslist tier pic

Also thanks for the hotel recommendation, still tryna decide. What's the average speed of the Twisted Sisters? When I drove to the Tail of the Dragon i was really pissed at he 30mph limit as well as the cops literally everywhere. It was pointless.

>inb4 the one guy with his mom's highway patrol bf
>>
>>16678432
There's no cops dude, or at least I didn't see any when I was there. Each turn has a speed advisory, but I highly doubt there'll be any heat on the actual twisties. People driving through the sisters are a huge moneymaker for the surrounding towns, and i would doubt they'd pay some constable to ruin that.

Don't you faggots have better things to do with your time than caraving down the highway?

Do you Texan fucks mind small trucks? i wanna get a particular shitbox truck and rebuild it.
>>
>>16678720
Texas has the only real market for the things since no rust and low prices since there's so many of the damn things.

Any truck can be had in any configuration in decent shape for $5000 or less.

What >>16678584 said is right. There are no cops on the roads but there are in the towns. So follow the limit closely in those areas. I believe most of the roads are 55 or 60 mph with corner speeds posted in yellow.

Also I really like the advisory speed limit signs because it tells you how sharp of a turn is coming up. After a few corners you will get a good feel for how much you can overshoot the speed limit and not die.

Camry anon, I can't come. I've got work from 5-2pm in houston that day and the next so to get there would require 10 hours roundtrip and literally not sleeping or stopping at all. I like meetups, but I like coming to work with at least 3hrs of sleep more.

It is that time again! I will be sending out sign up sheets and waivers later this week. Keep in mind the basic rules of the meet.

1. Follow all traffic control devices.
2. No drugs or alcohol anywhere near the meet. You will be arrested I can promise.
3. No driving without permission. Upon arrival, deposit your keys, insurance and DL at the table where we will keep them in locked storage. My mom or aunt will be handling this, and my aunts Texas state trooper bf will be there as well.
4. When ready to drive, check out your key from the table. If at any point during the meet you speed, loose traction, turn to sharply, brake to hard, forget to wear a safety belt, drive dangerously, or any other form of "hoon" driving my aunt will keep your DL until the state police can ticket you.
5. Mostly, have fun and enjoy fellowship.
6. Bring food to share. I will be bringing smores supplies (choc, gram crackers, marshmallows)

Also I will need emails or mail address (snail mail) for the waivers.

ffff. really tempted to come now that these are on again.
>>
>>16691251
Fascinating to hear how much of a difference a change of tires can make.
