Just found out I'm moving to Dallas at the end of June. Time for some more track days

There's not much to report on the GTR lately; I've been driving and enjoying the car when we go out or I don't feel like driving the WRX. The gf and I are getting settled here in Dallas and just bought her a '13 Acura ILX with 40k on it. It'll make a nice commuter for her

Dallas isn't too bad. Texas isn't my favorite place in the country, but Texas does have some perks. Like, less liberal shit that we put up with here in Seattle.

Agreed. That being said, if I could find a job in my industry in Seattle and/or the cost of living was slightly less, I'd move there in a heartbeat.

Picked up an 07 Tacoma PreRunner about a week ago. ~180k on it, red, clean, one owner, paid cash for it. I have wanted something with space for a while and decided now is the time to figure out if I like trucks. Y'know, since I'm in Texas and all..

Shit, I totally forgot. I went to Austin a few months ago to get my 2017 Tacoma Limited.

you have too much stuff.

You would too if you didn't have rent/mortgage payments. lol

I moved to Dallas at the beginning of July so I don't think I would've been down here at the time.

Pics?

Soon

you have too much stuff.

I know lol the bike is going to go. I will get another at some point, but it has hardly seen any use since I bought the GTR.

Just did transmission fluid and differential (again, I think this is the 3rd change) on the GTR. I went with Dodson DCTF and Motul diff oil, what a difference it makes in shifting! It gets an engine oil change this weekend. After that it's time to hunt for a set of new track tires; I'm thinking Toyo R888R in 285 at all four corners. The Bridgestone RE71R is softer and offers more grip but I cannot drive well enough to justify anything grippier than the R888Rs. Oh, and forgot to mention I went FBO with the WRX a while back, made 308whp 332wtq on 93 octane.

Brian is right, though.. I have too much stuff. I'm hoping to be down to just the truck and the GTR by this time next year. Then it's time to prepare to buy a house.
