Default Houston Trip - 7/8

I'm going to be heading down to the North Houston area on Tuesday, July 8th to visit my oldest daughter. I plan on taking her down to Corvette World Houston so she can see the Aztec Gold Corvette they have on display.

If anyone is interested I'd like to make a day of it with my daughter either going on a drive somewhere for lunch or just hanging out and looking at the other cars. I'd really like her to see what a fully modded car looks and feels like as well so she'll have an idea what my car will look like eventually.

If you're interested in a midday meetup let me know so I can plan accordingly.

Ed,

Please see my car in my profile. The silver Z06, not the black C5. My car is fairly heavy on the mods and I live in central Houston and work out on the NW side. The 8th is my birthday, too, lol. Let me know if you'd like me to make my car accessible to you guys. The pictures and description simply do not do it justice. It's a monster. Check out the video below.

Your link is taking me to Photobucket, but no picture is showing. All I see is the frame for a video player, but it's blank.

I'd planned on swinging by 510 to see what was going on. She's never been to a performance shop.

Thanks for showing us around Chris. It looked like you hand your hands busy with that C1 from Germany when we left.

I won't be able to make Austin on the 19th, but I might be able to make the 27th in The Woodlands for the HPD event depending on my daughter's work schedule.

I'd like to say thanks also to 510 Race Engineering/VZ Autoworks for showing us around and taking my daughter for a ride in smurfkiller before it goes to its new owner. She had a blast.
