I generally can make the drive in 3.5 hours, but that is staying under the radar at 80-90 mph.
Knowing how you like to drive, 3 hours is probably safe.
But remember, Houston is a big place, It will take some time to get to the
Sugar Land meet. Stay on I-10 for the Sam Houston Toll Road South, take it
to US 59 exit. Exit South on US 59. Take the second exit off of US 59 and you are at the Fountains.
Sorry to say that I wont be able to make it.

Cato, we'll try to set up another meet for next Saturday... I would like to start a g35 group. Kind of how like NY, New Jersey, Connecticut has the G-Squad, I would love to get some sort of group like that started down here... would need some help doing it though... But 1st we must get the meets going and get people to come to them. I would definetly like a weekly meet, maybe alternate locations every week. Also throw in some cruise meets as well, for example, we have a Sugar Land meet and then we all cruise to another location like Galleria to meet up with more G owners. Just a thought that I had...
However, you guys are showing some good support! This is more like it...
We need to get big enough so we can have our own G group thread on the main forum's index! I know we can get something working here guys if we all dedicate ourselves.
Well I'll see you guys in a few hours, My car is so dirty, sigh... didn't have much time at all today to wash her. Is anyone bringin a camera or anything? We definetly need to take some pics.

Sorry Everyone but, I will not longer go to these events. I just filled a "Lemon Law" on my sedan yesterday. Its been to the dealership 28 times. I've had it since mid December '02. I do not even have 20k miles on it.
It's no longer safe for me or anyone to ride in my sedan since I've taken it to the dealership 3 times within 2 months for the front end struts. I can hear them rattle around on smooth or rough roads. Also, one doctor really wants me to get rid of it due to my brain damage. I'm paying phone tag with my Doctor @ TIRR.
I'm going to miss not driving a G when BBB gets in contact with me. Ugh..

The install isn't bad at all. I'm a modding newb and it was pretty easy, especially with my bro helping me.

I may be able to meet saturday morning - what part of town were you thinking about?
