I didn't realize this many ppl went to UTD and drive G's. I just got mine about 2 months ago and I am finishing my MS at UTD. I get my car detailed at rubber ducky on arapho and custer.

 

lol im definately feeling the soccer and UTD love =) but my car is a 2003 6mt with 54k miles that i got for 16k =) i wanna get either a radar detector or a nismo air intake anyone have any advice? and ctj83 you still go to UTD? =) im gonna be a freshman there you staying on campus? i was hopping i wouldnt be the lonely g on campus =)

 

FYI, the awesome touchless at the Shell on the corner of McDermott & 75 was remodeled to a brush wash when they were bought by 7/11 recently. Pisses me off cause now I have to find a new place to get a quicky.


Lazaris, definitely opt for a good radar detector. Will save you lots in the future. Mine has literally paid for itself at least 20x.

 

it would be amazing if we could find a place that would wash our cars at a group discount rate =) idk how to organize that but im willing to try and help

 

hand wash FTW

 

haha ya true i dont like other people touching my car much lol i like to wash it myself except i dont really have access to a hose to wash with lol until i go back to houston on breaks

 

i am still at utd, although I do not live on campus. I stay in an apartment. i would love to wash my car by hand, but just don't have the time too and don't think my apartment will allow it. i do recommend getting a radar it will definitely come in handy with utd cops. i have the escort 8500 x50 blue hardwired and sitting under my rear view mirror. i know people who also have the valentine one.

 

i was thinking about the valentine one hmm now if i can just find one for a good deal. it would be nice to have it before wednesday so dont have to worry so much about cops coming up from houston =/ any places i should be careful about my speed in on i 45?

 

gonna be hard to find a deal... though I'm a big V1 fan. UTD Cops don't kid around... I went to UTD for a few years myself. Never finished as I had a 40hr a week job doing what I was going to school for, so I said F it. That was 2000 - 2002.

I'll be around UTD quite a bit in the near future due to the City of Richardson's Corporate Challenge. I'm in an 06 OB Coupe with a few mods. You'll know when you see me. Hope to see you out. I'll be playing Soccer there at those wonderful fields in about 6 weeks. No, I am not a regular soccer player, but I enjoy the game, though I'm too fat and slow for it. haha

 

lol youll know its me if you see red and white brembo decals on an 03 desert platinum coupe with sport and areo package =) ya i like the fields alot over there but im sure my liking them now will change once i have to go threw training there lol and construction on campus is crazy! everything is like always changing! waijai was definately right about that

 

i know that there are some overpasses as you get closer to dallas that cops will be waiting for you. Thankfully, my radar picked them up before they could tag me. And the speed limit is not 70 (The links below).

I opted for the escort x50 because I didn't want to pay the price for the valentine one. My friend got a good deal on craigslist, but I would check the serial numbers on them and check it through the valentine one website to make sure it is the latest. I believe the latest is 1.8 with POP2 and Euro settings. If yours is an older model you can upgrade, but it will cost you and the price varies with which model it is.

I hope this helps.

haha ya that helped. and stulax18 its a long story lol i started off shopping for g35s but my parents were like hell no you need an suv so i was like ok ill take an fx35 since its a cross over and its fast. but then that white one i found out was in a really bad accident when i took it to the shop =( and by some crazy way i found a g35 at a right price with the right amount of miles =) soooo now i have a g35 =) and i love it.. only down side is trying to figure out how to move my dorm stuff in it lol

 

mine was a questionable purchase... so I figure I'll just sell mine and buy one direct...

been meaning to do that

 

Once you pass I-20 I start watching for cops alot more. In general though, I've found I-45 to be pretty clean.
