Moving to Fort Worth
 

Hello fellow Z family i will be moving to Fort Worth in 6 months. Could you guys give me some ideas of good areas. Thanks a bunch guys

My area is fairly nice and very, very convenient. Most roads are new, very nice and smooth, the freeway is very close and many, many restaurants around. Still some new homes and businesses being built. There's some construction on 35W going south where it intersects with 287. If you wanna search it up on maps, search the zip code 76137 or 76244. Feel free to PM me if you have questions, it goes straight to my email.

The mid cities area is nice and reasonably priced. Hurst, Bedford, or North Richland Hills are nice and clean with very few apartments which means less crime. Beware of NRH police though as they are dicks.

I visited Forth Worth on my winter break and must say its a very nice city. I will be moving to the Fossil Creek area. Its close to my job at the Bureau of Engraving. Are there any local meets around? Thanks

There used have weekly Tuesday and Sunday meets but both got shut down due to people racing, crashes or complaining residents. Most of the meets are in Dallas/Plano area now..

There are lots of meets all over dallas and i'm usually at all of them. Let me know if you would like to get in touch!

That sounds good. I will be in the area in March. Havent decided if im gonna ship the Z down or drive it.

You will like the Fossil Creek area but only once the interchange is completed�� Just kidding but no, it really does suck at the moment. Everything else is great on that side of town, you will like it. Pretty laid back over there with very little crime and pretty easy to get to Dallas if need be. Look me up, I live in Granbury about an hour from there.
Good luck,
James

I have a cousin that lived in Grapevine for a while. Looked like a nice place when I was there about a dozen years ago.

Drive it down man, anything over 5 hours in that car is seriously exhausting with that suspension. At that point you are just getting beat up.

Thanks James i will do that when i hit the area.

Actually the Z is pretty comfortable. I drove to Z Nationals 8 plus hours with no problems. We'll see what happens in the next month. But it would be fun rolling through the mountains in Tennessee.

Just got my ride back on the road and its ready for the 20 hour trip to Texas

No insight on Ft Worth area but I drove my heap from MD to TN or and back a couple of times before moving here and is a good drive. The Z won't kill you any worse than any other vehicle after 8 hours in the seat. It was actually pretty fun drive.

Welcome to Texas soon

:tiphat: Also, let me join the others in welcoming you to Texas. To echo others, Fossil Creek is nice area and will be pretty convenient for your commute, but you'll want to avoid I-35W as much as possible. There are major wrecks on it almost everyday (esp. between N. Tarrant Pkwy and Loop 820).

You'll also find more Z's around DFW than almost any where in the country. Fort Worth has Cowtown Z Club and Dallas has Z Club of Texas with monthly events, including fun drives that usually end up at good barbeque joints. And if you're ever interested in track events, you'll want to check out Motorsports Ranch in Cresson which is about 20 minutes south of Ft Worth.

If you have any questions about good places to go or things to do after you get here, feel free to drop me a PM.
