What part of town are you moving to and what company is the new job with. We have a pretty active community around Frisco, Plano, Mckinney and surrounding areas. You will see lots of events posted up on my350z and G35driver. We have a event in mineral wells this weekend which is "Auto-x, drift, grilling and beer. Lots of members in the area that work on their own vehicles and even members who will work on your vehicle for a small fee.

First of all welcome bud! looking forward to another member however I am one of the G's that is being sold/parted out at this time but I try as much as I can to stay involed as I am a moderator here and an admin on the DFW Facebook group. My cell is always available for questions/installs a helping hand etc. I do what I can. 214-282-2711 is my cell. Name is Chris bud and the wheel bearing you can buy used no offense to phil at Grubbs for like 65-75 bucks shipped. you can call them and get them item next day. I can install if you would like. I stay in Denton and can knock this out fairly quickly.

Welcome to DFW!

If you are going to live in Euless and drive to Richardson know that it is going to be a long drive, and there is some construction going on in between, around the DFW airport near 121/114 area that will last through 2014.

If you have to drive into work at Richardson every day I would advise you not to live in Euless

Chris, you are parting out? Did you ever do the LS swap? What are you getting next ;-)

Ultimately,
live where you want to live, because work may not always be in the same location, and if you move where work is, and you end up working somewhere new, you might not like where you live
I love Red Oak, nice quiet, country without all the city annoyances, but not everyone likes that
