    I'm in town for a few weeks. Staying over in the Pasadena area. Looking for something to get me out of the hotel this weekend. I can only stomach so much Street Outlaws.

    Thanks,

    Root

    You have to sort them out and figure out if they are close enough but here is a list of what appear to be cruise nights and maybe weekend shows. https://carcruisefinder.com/texas-car-shows/events/category/texas-car-shows/ That's all over the state though.
    Katy is about 45 minutes west of where you are at on 10. I'd say google maps might be your friend for sorting out what is viable to think about checking out.

    When I lived in McGregor Tx my friends and I would run down to Houston for a swap meet or car show once in a while and you can drive 50 miles or more in a pretty straight line and not get across the Houston Metro area. In the 70's I swore that they had the city limit sign on 290 on a trailer. Like Oklahoma distance is measured in time not miles.
    Here is another list to sort though. https://www.google.com/search?clien...1NTM1NjcwNjc0&htivrt=events&mid=/g/11rqwwrshr

    The show hosted by Classic Chevy is this weekend in Beaumont. That's about an hour and a half east of Pasedena. Last year, they had about 400 cars and trucks, maybe 10 -20 percent Hamb friendly.

    Go to the web and check this one: Its actually on facebook but should pull up.
    Its in the Woodlands about 45 min. from you in Pasadena . They normally have about 50-100 or so rods, but maybe less since its so hot now. Get there about 6:30 or so, a little cooler than hell.

    When I left, we had dropped under 100 for 2 days and now the forecast back home looks like this. So, the heat doesn't really bother me much.

  10. This time of year in Texas is equivalent to a Minnesota winter. We stay inside as much as possible and avoid going out. Most car stuff is fall-spring.

    Dude, you lived in AZ. You should be conditioned. Getting soft? Plus, it's a wet heat......

  13. A wet heat is exactly why! So muggy. And I’m old now, there’s that.

    Don't be knocking our winters. We can always put another layer on and still have fun outdoors. There is only so much clothing you can remove to deal with that southern heat before the neighbors get upset (or overly friendly).
