The local TX section is pretty dead. Any future FK8 owners in the Houston area? I want to start a local meetup; something chill like grabbing coffee or something. There's a meet out near Katy that's every 3rd Saturday morning that originally started as GT-R owners and thought it would be cool to do something similar.

Glad to finally see some Houstonians. I did call all of dealers in metro Houston area a while ago and just recently. All I heard is either sold out their only one or will put a high ADM. I myself don't mind waiting since I take 290 to work and the road condition is still like hell til end of this year. Probably aim for 2018 hopefully more will be allocated here.

I use to live off 290 a few years ago and it was horrible then too, probably worse now that they've moved construction toward the Fairfield area so basically everything from Fairfield to 610 is contruction. Ride and Shine is the name of the event I mentioned above. It's at La Centerra in Cinco Ranch. It's similar to CnC coffee but smaller and less dumbasses trying to show off. The most you get is some rich kid in his dad's M series BMW. Starts at 8am and usually ends around 10am. PM me if you ever want to meet up and check out cars. My wife and I usually take our 1 year old and enjoy the morning.

Waiting for the 2018 or MMC 2019. Guess I won't be attending any meets for awhile. :D

My ETA is 6/27. If it works out then I will definitely post it on here. Always down for meeting new people over some coffee or something.

which dealership did you order from? John Eagle Honda is receiving their black one either today or tomorrow but it's already pre-sold. They said if the car was still there you could still come in and check it out too.

JEH indeed. That's me lol. Last ETA I was given by @RatedR and by the dealership was 6/27 unless it was moved up again. When did you talk to them?

Yep! Well good to know the buyer is in here now. Maybe I can go for a ride along . But for whatever reason if you change your mind on the car... let me know assuming they're selling for MSRP.

They have a decent waiting list; at least 10 people last I heard. If I back out for some reason I will let you all know, but unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to hop ahead of the line. :(

If I get it, then I am more than happy to meet up somewhere and hang out. This will be my first performance car so I'm pumped.

Dispatch told me they had not received it yesterday. Still waiting to see if they call me today.
