Just accepted a job offer in Plano and we'll be packing up and headed to Texas in six weeks or so. The Classic Auto Air AC kit is being ordered for the 71 as we speak.

Looking forward to meeting up with some locals when I get there and, also, no more C.A.R.B!

Welcome to Texas.

 

[mrblanche]

Welcome! It IS a big adjustment; keep an open mind.

A Plano joke: There are only two sports in Plano--football, and summer football.

Unfortunately for you, that is the more expensive end of the Metroplex.

When will you be in? You'll want to take your '71 to the GoodGuys show the first weekend in October. That is an awesome show! And you'll get to take the car around the track, if you want to, Saturday night.

Donny lives in/near Plano----might want to look him up when you arrive.
He would be what I would call the DFW ECC ambassador

Yes Donny can leave black marks from his house to yours, but what he forgot to tell you is he will have to paint them with a brush.
Welcome to Texas.

Welcome to Texas.
You know you'll have to change your name to bigbaggie.oke:
This is Texas after all.:texas:

 

[lilbaggie]

What a warm welcome! Thank you everyone—from afar the Texas contingent seems like the most vocal and active one, quite befitting the great state itself. My wife's originally from Houston and I've always had a blast whenever i've drove through Texas whether it's Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio (with the exception of maybe Beaumont) so we're looking forward to the move…

I'm a little nervous about meeting a legendary wheeler and dealer like Done Deal Donny as i'm afraid i'll walk away with none of my pink slips in hand

And Centex396, i hate to admit it but "lilbaggie" is actually named after my cat who himself was named after Houston Astro great Jeff Bagwell, so the real "big" Baggy is already in Texas!

Will keep you guys posted on move in date—both Elcos will be shipped in fully covered car transport style and would love to know when you guys are planning another the next local get together…

 

[DONE DEAL DONNY]

Oh come on man, I'll fly out there and drive that 71 back here for you, I'd treat it like I'd treat my own!!!!oke:
And yes, get ready to dump that California smog crap in the river!!!!:nanawrench:

[rushgator]

Welcome to the free world, baggie! :nanawrench:

Looking forward to meeting you soon! :texas:

 

[malaka1]

Welcome from south Tx, moved from Cali a few years ago. Best move I ever made.

 

[lilbaggie]

Thanks rushgator, we're looking forward to a more rational amount of regulation and government intrusion.

malaka1, glad to hear it. We've heard both sides of the story—some lifelong Californians who left and never looked back and some who wished they hadn't.

 

[mrblanche]

You'll have to get the T shirt or bumper sticker that's fairly common here: "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could."

Colorado native, here. My home state has been Californicated.
