That's the direction we are taking there although we will turn off of 1431 shortly after passing through Lago Vista. The way back I was taking us TX29 since most of the people I know in the group live in North Austin/Round Rock/ Pflugerville. Ben and I live in South Austin so it's a drive no matter what.

Yea, I figured if we were going up 1431 we probably turn at Smithwick.
No, Don no chicken wire.
It`s out on a patio and even though they have some big fans it will probably be pretty warm.

Don't give out the route!!!
That's part of the suprise! You know show up to find out where we go
j/k

Considering there is one building in Smithwick I`m sure unless you live a mile from it you would never know where it is.
You might have driven through it and if you blinked missed it.

no worries Revin, i honestly have no clue what he's talking about. (no offense but i don't know the area lol) i don't think anyone could guess which road we are taking. I could hardly find it on the map without zooming in it is by no means a road that people would take as a through-street to anywhere but a ranch lol. that's why the cruise is 2 hrs instead of 1hr 15min.

One more OT ? about the Icehouse stop--We don't want to violate long standing Texas protocol. I know how it is here in East Texas, but is this the usual Texas icehouse?
Jane wants to know how to accessorize for this outing.
Boot knife--or is this one of the new fancy schmancy watering holes where they issue a complimentary knife to everyone when you walk in the door?

Will someone please set up a armed guard for maryjane

you can probably count on an average of 2 knives for every fiero or am I the only one that has 3 on them not counting what is in the vehicle

Most of mine were stolen by an old room mate but I have one on me most times and a leatherman type tool just for good measure in the car...

OK, I'm in. That's one more from the AAFO clan! Won't be in my Fiero, though...

Added! welcome !

Hey Revin, don't forget the water.

Not going to make it this time around. My parents are moving and they haft to be out of the old place asap as closing is on Monday (selling the house moving to there ranch)

Hopefully I can make it next time and the car will be ready for sure by then

Hey Kevin,
How about A/C........You should really have that looked at.

You A/C guys are too funny!

Working on the A/C thing but won't be ready for this weekend seems like in the winter, it will be working at the rate I am going

If you want to we can trade cars for the drive. You can drive the 84 4Cyl with A/C and I can drive your SC 3800

Just saw on the news this AM that we are supposed to cool off this weekend! It's only gonna be 102!! YESSS! =P

Revin might be able to pack one less bottle of water!

Keep it up Ben and you will be buying 1st round!!
trade cars I don't want to come in last or have a ign. mod. go out or the fuel pump to fail, or get laughed at from the paint.

Just remember, the cave is dark and someone could get lost or fall down a large hole and never be seen again

Yeah Yeah, Mines a driver not a show car. I can buy the first round though. Just need to finish running tests to see what dissolves the fastest and has no taste...

fuel pump should be fine. we replaced it. that was fun to do in an apt parking lot lol.

as for the looks of the car, at least we have A/C! =P

Yes, I hear lots of girls like the slow speed of the A/C cars.

[This message has been edited by Bat City Fieros (edited 08-10-2011).]

in a 25 day streak of triple digit heat, i don't know that anybody really minds especially in city driving. =P but yes, i imagine we will be joining you in the ranks of no A/C at some point during the cruise.

plus with the new A/C systems, you know if you gun it, you kill the A/C anyways. I do it all the time in my other Pontiac too lol.

Our a/c is leaking out all the refrigerant in the space of 24-36 hrs. I've had it in the shop 3 times this year and they can't find the leak. I'm guessing compressor seals but no dye shows up there.

We may be in the truck (yet again)--I can do without A/C but Jane sez "hell no".

Ya know, the caves are a constant 65*(+/- 5*) year round.

It would be like the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow for those without a/c

Did I say I got a new accumulator and a/c hoses!!!! So...A/C is coming soon!! ( maybe around the end of summer I bet)

That's exactly why I picked the caves as our destination. It either needed to be indoors, in water, or underground. I went with underground.

Woohoo! Yay for A/C coming soon!

I saw the news say Saturday's high is only gonna be 100 even! It might be too chilly to go down in the caves! hehe

Great,
I am really looking forward to the event. Hopefully my a/c will be working by tomorrow. Finally going to bite the bullet and convert to 134a, since the compressor went south. John Michael is hyped as well. Just what I need, a raging hormone, 17 year old teenager for a cup holder. On top of that, he thinks Kevin has the coolest car, no pun on the a/c there Kevin. I guess that is why I keep on modifying DARKWING; I want to be the coolest.

See you at the Target!
Mike and John Michael

Hey Mike,
Just knock out the front windshield or tear the top off, you should be way cooler than me then!

I'd be ok if we weren't driving from NE of Houston to Austin and back. Having to sit in the seat and listening to Jane whine about the heat is just more than I care to endure.

Things to do tomorrow. Check oil, coolant, air pressure. Clean out and wash car. Fill up with gas. Charge batteries for hand held radios... What am I forgetting?

Water!!

Beat me too it

Don, Are you and Jane not staying the night now?


Well either way......

Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll see ya tomorrow
It will be a day of play
(sorry no dance to go with that song)

I won't be there but I hope everyone has fun tomorrow! See everyone at the next go-round.

So Revin, whats the final head count that you have? need to print out maps and directions.
