OK, I am having serious withdrawl symptoms. I have been with out my Magnum for a few months and I am thinking about shipping it to be with me in Houston. While in Phoenix I could cruise to the Pavilions every Saturday and maybe plan on a trip to the drags with a group of LX friends.
I just purchased a building in Houston that has parking for 1100 cars, located on I-45 in north Houston, and would like to see about getting a meet together at the property. Anybody out there interested? Southern Cal can get a few hundred cars together for a meet, how about here in Texas.

Dillo -- that's so close to me, I'd have to be there. Count me in.
(Is your building in Greenspoint? That's my guess, with that much parking)

Hey, no, not Greenspoint, it is the old Garden Ridge building at I-45 & Airtex. Glad to see some interest, I would really like to get something going, anybody know of any of the area car dealers interested in supporting something, also any performance or other automotive based supporter, in Phoenix I could always call on some of the local suppliers of tires, wheels, etc. I don't mind spending some money to put this together, but I am more than a little lost as far as local contacts go.

Damn, that's even closer. You're right smack between 2 dealerships (Spring Dodge and Mac Haik Dodge) -- if we get serious, I'll volunteer to contact both -- bought my Mag at Mac Haik, and live just a stones throw from Spring Dodge. Maybe some of the other guys can talk to some of the other dealers.
If you ship your car in (man I'd love to see it in person) and we get a few SRT8's committed, maybe we can get the fire started.
What about Hennessey?

I'd also be willing to help out with putting things together. What are your plans for that old barn? :) I am very familiar with the property. I'm sure JH would be willing to be involved as well.

I am going to try to get back to Phoenix this next weekend, and I may try to get to the Calif meet if I can still get in, I will try to arrange shipment of my car that weekend also.
I noticed the 300C Convert at that dealership, I think we could really make this happen, I will look at my calender in the next few days, and see if we can put a date to this. Got your PM I'll be in touch.

There is a get together set for Austin, Tx. on the 20th of May.
I would come to Houston too.

...I'm new here, but I frequent another forum. I'm in San Antonio, I have a custom 2005 300C and my wife drives a custom 2005 Magnum R/T. I can bring both to any local meets. I had a silver two-toned 300 Touring I customized and then sold to a friend of my wife's. I'll see if I can talk him into bringing it to meet as well. I look forward to meeting all of you and comparing notes!

I spoke with John Hennessey today while I was driving his car up to my home in the bay area, and he said he was sorry he missed the event, and his offer to host A show and go at his race track in Houston still stands!!! Thank you all for a GREAT weekend. I hope to see you all again soon....
The above quote is from a post Shortlineskier submitted in the thread with photos from the SoCal M&G this past weekend:

Sounds interesting. Someone should definitely get in touch with Hennessey about this meet on Armadillo's new property. Maybe Hennessey would be willing to have a booth at the meet and then take us to his track later????

Almost every Friday night and some Saturdays in Spring TX, at FM1960 and Aldine Westfield there are impromptu car get togethers. Behind Popeyes. Typically it is a younger crowd, but there are some nice rides.

Dillo --
I-45 north to Louetta exit --
go to the Light @ 2920 (Exxon on corner) make a LEFT
go to 1st Light on 2920 (you're lookin @ Walgreens on Left -- make a LEFT
you are now on Spring Cypress -- stay on it for about 5-7 miles (guess ??)
@ the 6th stoplight you should be @ Champions Drive -- turn LEFT and turn Left into the Kroger parking lot
(actually you can turn into Kroger when you see Starbucks and Wendys on Spring Cypress before the light @ Champions).
to Mapquest it -- find intersection of Spring Cypress & Champions
It's easy.
What colors the SRT8? Congrats! Might see you there.

Hey Armadillo. This is FreebirdSRT. I met you at Spring Fling, Bo and I were the only ones from Houston at SF. I was parked about 4 spots from you, at SF.
WOW, a Charger SRT to go with your Magnum. Sweet. Now you just need a 300CSRT for the Trifecta.
See you tonight.

To everyone who came out last night. Some I have met before, Bo and Dillo, and got to meet some LX members as well, you know who you are,lol. I am over at 300CForums, 90% of the time.
Dillo your new Charger SRT is beautiful.
At one point I believe we were 6 SRT's strong, but not all parked together,lol. That took a bit longer to accomplish. By that time we were down to 4.
2 MSRT, 1 3CSRT, 1 ChargerSRT. We later went for late night breakfast.
It made for one mean looking snake of don't *uck with us, to get eats,lol. Charger, 3C, Mag, Mag, all in tight formation rolling steady.
Let's start making this a regular thing, get more LX's involved. Next time I am not going to forget my folding chairs though,lol.
HEY HOUSTON, GET YOUR ASS OFF OF THE COUCH, CLEAN YOUR LX, AND WE WILL SEE YOU SOON.
Bo usually keeps me in the know about the goins on here at LXF. If any of you need to reach me, I am on the 300CForums, under the same user name as here.

Not sure, but I think there is some sort of beer drinking contest.. lol
