my roadtrip to texas for my rims!! texans love camaros
I spent the past few days trekking to Texas to pick up some rims off a member off here. I got a great deal and I figured if I had to spend money on shipping I'd rather waste it on gas and go on a road trip. I learned lots!!
In Denver I saw a standup on the highway with the sheriff's office closing off a highway and pulling out assault rifles. Car was sitting in the middle of the highway with the passengers on their knees. That was exciting! Texas cops, suck. Pulled over twice in 10 minutes within 1 hour of entering Texas. First cop stopped me and I reached for my license and he disappeared. I was doing like 82 in a 75 so I don't see what the deal was at 12 at night. 10 minutes later I got stopped going 40 in a 40 for "license plate lights being out" LIE! He let me go too though, Rocky start but no more altercations after that!! We were laughing hysterically at the odds of getting pulled over twice and not getting a ticket. Texas is a boring drive lol but I got to sugarland in about 13 so it was pretty fast. But I stopped in and saw bits of Houston, sugarland, Dallas, fort worth and down to Galveston for a day at the beach. I gotta say though you Texans love your Camaros! I've never seen so many in my life, they're everywhere! I see maybe 1 a day in Denver. Oh, and "keep right except to pass" no one in Texas obeys this law, lol. They refused to get over for me. It was a fun trip and I stopped at the great sand dunes in Colorado on the way home and did some snowboarding! Thanks to everyone on here for helping me find a good deal on rims. The girl is driving now, almost home. Soon as I get a chance, rims are going on and I'll upload photos. |

A pair of the 18" 2012 LT rims, 5 spoke chrome. Tires only had 10,000 miles and he only wanted $200 total. Total steal.
I see that, Houston had so many Camaros. Kids had them! I had to wait til 27 to even think of affording something like this. |

My girlfriend got a ticket for being in the left lane while not passing anyone. I could understand if someone was holding up traffic being in the left lane, but if there are more deer than cars on the road, I don't know why this "law" needs to be enforced. Glad to hear you had a good trip though.

Its a passing lane, not a travel lane. Can I have the cops name so I can thank him for enforcing that law. more cops need to.

Nothing is more annoying too a 18 wheeler, than a 4- wheeler that wants too run in the passing lane next to you. It's a passing not a travel lane . Come on around, don't just hang out there. We got big mirrors , and catch all of your headlights. Didn't mean to mess up your quote, I'm on my I-phone.

SO SORRY your travel through TEXAS was not a good experience! Our state is being invaded by illegals and drug trafficking and even I have been subject to inspections when I go to a boarder location...I'm a white chick born in Dallas!!! Please let myself or one of the other D/FW members know if you come back our way so we can show you a true TEXAS welcome!
