I think the girls hang out at "Puff Social Hookah Lounge" on Mese. As for the Hudsons cruise in, it starts at 6. I am considering going. I am out at Tularosa NM, about 100 miles North, so it is more of a trip then going down the street. If we get a good group goin, I would definitely go. Would be nice to meet some El Paso members and see their rides!

Just throwing this out there in preparation but...Does anyone have a solid recommendation for a clutch installer? 2000 C5 FRC. All I know of right now is Rudolph Chevrolet.

Harley - Great posts and videos! Looks like a great bunch. I am working on my 6th or 7th week of collecting dirt, dust, and rain.

Besides a reputable shop, anyone know of a good mobile Car Wash/Detailing service? The Vette needs a good washing, but no hose hook-up lines where I live. My ride is down for the moment and it's getting filthy sitting outside.

Still down for the clutch? The clutch is probably still good man. The pedal likes acting up, but nothing that a few pedal pumps can't fix from my experience.

Went to the autocross this pass Saturday and had a good time; got the chance to drive a Camaro SS 1LE.

I heard HPS automotive is good, but have never personally tried them though.

Stay away from all the local shops. Your best bet is to take it up to Texas Speed and have them do it.

the next Hudson's cruise in is on the 27th, and yes, it is on Lee Trevino. If you go, ill make the drive down from Alamo, just let me know. I will even see if maybe I can get some of the girls to go but I make no promises, and I let be known i have no type of pull with them, but I will ask.

Maybe a big group will end up going.....

I went last week and there were a lot of cars and people. But mostly older cars and older supped up cars. I saw 2 corvettes and one was an old model and one a C6. A few Camaros were there. Got to get there early if you want a covered spot. Didn't stay long cuz I didn't know anyone there.

DJ Tiesto - Adagio for strings. Always wanted to use that song on a car video. One of those songs that I love when driving also.

Texas Speed is out. No longer do installs.

Rudolph don't return calls. I guess that should be an indication of their business and professionalism.

I can't wait to get my house next year after I get home from deployment. I'm going to get a quick lift as well and we can just do this stuff ourselves in my garage.

Ok - I finally got a hold of the lead Service Manager, Steve. Sounds like a stand up guy and gave me the sense of reassurance needed to give them a shot. Corrected me on his "Go to" guy for Corvettes, and offered to have him call me personally to set up a time/date to meet face-to-face.

With that being said, I am willing to give them a chance. Until then.....

G & M Mobile Vehicle Details has 4 good reviews here and no bad reviews. (Appointment Only) I guess they drive to your place, to detail your car. http://local.yahoo.com/info-42440974...=El+Paso%2C+TX
