I also work in Las Colinas . I will wave if I see ya.

timothy 02-17-2008 07:56 PM

Good to see some new names. There are several active members in the Dallas area and Jeph tried to arrange a meet in Uptown last month. Unfortunately it wasn't a good weekend for most so we called it off. Hope to see everyone there whenever we reschedule.

VTCMart 02-17-2008 07:59 PM

Nice shots. Beltline bars in Addison is the place to be, was just at Duke's last night. Here is one of my car by my office building at the corner of Preston/Frankford.

hmmm i bet you work next door to me... i've been seeing a black 05+ boxster in the parking lot (usually not directly next to any other car) and if i'm not mistaken, sometimes that blue vette in your garage?

on decker?

Jeph 02-17-2008 08:15 PM

Did you guys just all come out of the woodwork or what? Way to represent...
Now we need to do a Dallas meet soon.

Since everyone else is bragging about Las Colinas, let me just contribute that I drive
THROUGH there every day (though rarely in Foxy Boxy).

lucky_topher 02-17-2008 08:18 PM

would LOVE for some of you guys/gals to make it out to the ricekiller meet

i'm up there almost every sunday... some SWEET cars there..

Here's a video from the last one:

haha i just bought mine about 3 weeks ago... i've always been VERY involved in the local car scene in whatever make/model groups i can find... previously local bmw group (still hang w/ some great friends from there regularly)... before that the LS1 groups... i post a LOT on various forums, etc... and what better thing to do than to hang out, talk about our cars, mods, and go have grub or drinks as a group :) especially with the great weather!

i've also done professional car detailing for awhile so getting to touch the sexy curves of any nice car keeps me involved more too hehehe... that and i enjoy finding new places to take pics and improve my photography skills (i keep trying to get the lady to let me get a DSLR)

JPW 02-18-2008 05:25 AM

What a turn out, in just a few hours! I guess if we are not crusing or hanging out, we are reading the forums.

Cory, I live in Carrollton, and have seen your Box around, that is one sweet color, and the black rims finish it nice.

Looking out the office window now in Los Colinas.......... Looks like a top down day to me.

Same here, S54 are nice but they are way over price. I am looking for a weekend car and the Boxster is it, just need to find one that's right for me....

porsche986spyder 02-18-2008 12:53 PM

Lived in Irving when I first moved here from New Orleans/Baton Rouge. Then moved to East Dallas and now reside in Addison. You can't miss my Boxster. Although I need to take some new pictures soon because I now have the 997, GT-3 front end. Looks bad ass! I'm just waiting for new clear side markers before I take pictures. The stock 986 ones do not fit the new bumper. :cheers:

Dohertycm 02-18-2008 06:13 PM

Checking in
 
I work in the Irving/Las Colinas area as well, I drive a Black 2000 S model....but its been getting beat up in the traffic so I have been taking the truck to work.

I see a Red S model across the way but dont know who it is.

Checking in!!!

Are people going to the filling station?

thenavarro 02-18-2008 06:21 PM

I'm 26 miles south of Dallas in Waxahachie. I have a 01 base in Seal Grey but I recently had a 3.2 engine transplant. Will be hosting a Boxster meet and greet this summer sometime at our historic courthouse here in Ellis County. Great food, great roads, and great cars.

Here's mine:

JPW 02-19-2008 04:56 AM

Who all is going to the Filling Station?
Sounds like the majority of us are near the Los Colinas or Addison areas, and for those going, should we plan on meeting up some where and going in a group?

i'd be in for that

weather forecast:

Sun
Feb 24 Partly Cloudy
69°/52°

looks like it will be a great day :)

for previous meets, i've met up with people in the Sams parking lot at 635/macarthur... if everyone else is down for that.... say meet up there at 1:30pm and we'll leave and that way we'll get decent spots? :)

timothy 02-19-2008 07:04 AM

I have another event on Sunday but might be able to come for a bit. Need to check the schedule. Put me down as tentative.

Around here it's an Amberdectomy :) Did mine a while back and it was not terribly difficult but still there's a brief moment of "what the heck and I doing to a perfectly good set of lights!"

lucky_topher 02-19-2008 09:22 AM

yeah i'm looking for a pair of front clears too... i've got an extra new genuine porsche clear sidemarkers if someone wants to buy them :)

Amberdectomy, has a very nice ring to it. It sure does look good when it's done. Makes you forget all about the other ones.

I have to thank porsche986spyder, they are his old wheels!

cs jeff 02-20-2008 08:40 AM

Hey Guys
 
I live just around the corner from The Filling Station. I saw the meet last Sunday (just drove by), but I'll stop in this time. Im still in my RSX, but shopping for an 01-04 Boxster S. Co-drove a friend's 06 Cayman S all last season w/ Maverick region PCA autox & time trials, so I'm kinda spoiled!

Dohertycm 02-22-2008 10:16 PM

See ya there.

I dont know where this filling station is so I will follow you...

I guess I had better clean my car..

Chris

dswtflip4u 02-22-2008 11:44 PM

I live in Dallas, real close to the filling station. My wife and I are currently in the process of looking for a Boxster. I think this would be a good time to meet with the local guys. I hope to see you there.

Jeph 02-23-2008 04:05 AM

It will be good to meet all you new folk/recent posters.

I'm going to attempt to make it at Wal Mart, but just in case I can't, where is the Filling Station?
