Driving from Los Angeles to TX tomorrow

DEpointfive0 · 06-21-2013, 04:53 PM

I'm going to update this thread with LOLs along the way.

Hey mods, I know this might not be the right section, but the regions are slow.
Anyways... I'm driving from LA to Houston, TX tomorrow...
Where should I go, anything to do? People to see?
Please shoot me a text (31O)eight nine three-42O7
I'm planning on doing a 24 hour non stop drive
EDIT: I will be leaving late Saturday, or Sunday

Thanks,

Andrew

That's brutal man, I did that once and will never do it again

Anything to do? Try sleeping somewhere.

People to see? The people working whatever motel you decide to crash at.

If you're trying to drive from LA to Houston in 24 hours you don't have time for anything. But if you want to stop by Austin, I'd be happy to buy/serve you a beer or install a mod for you

I've got the Nissan Driving Academy tomorrow, but I can't imagine you would make it to Austin before it will be over.

SS_Firehawk · 06-21-2013, 05:29 PM

Stop by my place as you pass through, have Wifey give you a cold beer

Mybe drop off the whitelines if you have space in your car lol

I don't mean 24 hours, more like I want to do it without spending the night anywhere.
My insomnia is pretty bad, so it shouldn't be TOO much of a stretch to make it in one go

(And please don't tell me it's dangerous) if I get tired, I WILL sleep, I'm not doing this to show off manliness or anything, lol

so houston is katy freeway? santamonica 10 all the way straight?

lt_370z · 06-21-2013, 05:38 PM

First off I would like to say be safe during ur long drive to Houston. I have lived here for 5 years and absolutely love this place. If your here just to visit and have a good time here are a couple hang out places where you can enjoy a little bit of Houston.

Food:
Asian: Bellaire blvd/beltway 8 (all the asian food you can ask for)

BBQ: Rudy's BBQ (def. must try the extra moist brisket and sweet cream corn)

Brazilian Steakhouse: All you can eat meat at Chama Gaucha (well worth the price if you can put it away, $41.50 for dinner.

MF sushi: Try the Omakase (leave it in the chef's hands) its about $100 but you will thank me afterwards. Make a reservation because you need to sit at the sushi bar.

Anything in particular just yelp it!

Party atmostphere:
Washington Ave. (start at kung fu saloon and work your way down the strip)

also look up Midtown bars (red door, drinkery, wonderbar)

Another cool place to hang out is City Centre.

Shopping:
Galleria or Premium outlets

411:
The beltway requires you to pay toll so be prepared to have some change on you. Read the signs carefully or else they will send u a bill for toll violations.

Any other questions just let me know what else your intersted in doing.

The Titty bar what else????

Then stop in Baker and pickup some Alien Jerky

DEpointfive0 · 06-21-2013, 05:39 PM

It_370Z

And, where is Baker? (If its a conspiracy theory thing, awesome)

olddudesrule · 06-21-2013, 05:42 PM

If you run into any problems while in the Phoenix area, give me a call and I'll help you out (PM sent). Been here 12 years, and I really can't think of much worth a stop besides some great chow here and there. Good luck with the road trip!
