Just Moved to the Midland/Odessa Area - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

RedJewel2SS · 07-22-2010, 01:15 PM

Any active members living here?

i just moved from Tulsa, lived there a year right after college, originally from Houston.

We moved into the Mission Dorado area just west of the airport.

It would be nice to have some meet & greets with other West Texas members if there isn't one already!

egad09 · 07-22-2010, 07:44 PM

people actually live out there?

gibblet342 · 07-22-2010, 08:25 PM

I do not live out there, but try to make at least 1 trip a year to Lake Coleman area.

Haven't seen any Camaro's out there as of 2 months ago and normally am in town for 2 weeks... Maybe could swing by for a meet and greet next time I am up there!

PM Me if You have any questions.

I know it is a long drive, but We are still triing to get our Camaro5 Chapter up and running with a strong following.

Right now We have about 8 Active Members that do most of our Meet and Greets.

The Upcoming Gila National Forest Cruise will last about 5-6 hours, as We will depart El Paso, drive to Las Cruces to get the rest of our group. See the top thread for a map of our proposed route.

RedJewel2SS · 08-04-2010, 11:47 AM

thanks guys...

yeah i realize i'm out in the middle of no where; it was not by choice!!!

i see quite a few camaros around town, mostly V6 guys, have yet to see any that look modded at all.

El Paso is quite a ways, i won't be able to meet you guys for the cruise this weekend, but maybe next time

No offense, but have you seen a map of Texas? El Paso ain't close! LOL

To the OP....I lived in Midland for 16 years. All I can say is, I'm very sorry, and I got the hell outta Dodge as fast as I could! However, there USED to be a good car scene, check out RowdyRides.com, it's the local car site IIRC.

However, Rosa's Cafe is some mighty fine eats. I do miss that place.

croyal1974 · 08-04-2010, 02:00 PM

haha you just had to bring up Rosas Cafe didnt you? ive lived in midland for 18 years and ive got to tell you, the place is terrible. That being said ive seen more 2010s there than i do in the San Marcos area, so surely there is a car club or something. Im in England right now and im missing my car than i am my family.. i hope they dont read this.

Rosa's is good stuff. I love Taco Villa too. I grew up there and still have family out there. Heading that direction this weekend to visit.

Regarding stuff to do, I rode ATV's at Kermit most of the time and raced motocross at Waterwonder Land and the MX track by Midland.

They recently shut down the 1/4 mile track at Penwell just after renovating it but there is an 1/8 mile track by the airport.

Outside of that not much. Your typical small town area.

I grew up in Odessa and go back every 6-8 weeks to see family. Coop 2010 and I will be heading that direction September 17th for the car show at the Petroleum Museum. My dad is part of a club out there. http://www.westtexascruisers.com/ I know he knows several Vette owners and at least one super charged 2010 Camaro owner. They are meeting at Texas burger in Midland on Wadley and Big Spring on August 14th at 7. His name is Bo and he will probably be there in his '54 Chevy truck if you decide to go.

RedJewel: your not alone man. There is a growing community of camaro guys in Midland. It would rock to have a meet and greet with some of the other drivers. Welcome back to Midland....its not as bad as most make it out to be.

GearheadSS · 08-21-2010, 05:14 PM

We are passing through Midland on our way to Vegas on Friday Oct. 3rd. Anything going on that night?

jrc1122 · 08-21-2010, 05:31 PM

I don't own a Camaro, but I drive to Midland / Odessa for work several times a month. And I see several Camaros out there each and every trip.

subhi1985 · 06-20-2012, 11:51 PM

Hi guys I live in Midland ?

LonghornLove · 06-24-2012, 11:51 PM

I work in Snyder. I see at least 4 5 gens everytime I go through town. I got my first my wave after 9 months of being there and that was a 2nd gen. A lot of camaro dirvers around here but not passionate ones.
