Whether you own a GM compact or not, GM of Houston cordially invites you to our semi-annual Galveston Cruise! Once held annually (typically in the fall) we have decided in recent years to hold it twice a year due to popular demand! With the beginning of a new decade, we thought we'd make a few changes to our cruise! This year's participants can expect to see a change in the route and a slight tweak to the events during the cruise. Instead of our usual route from Nasa Rd. 1 down I-45 South, we will start our cruise at the Bass Pro Sporting Goods Shop located off of HWY 288 and Sam Houston Tollway South--here is a map for specific directions:

Our cruise will then follow HWY 288 and through HWY 332, and make a pit stop at BUC-EE's off of HWY 332. Again, here's a map noting the pit stop:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=4231%2...N&hl=en&tab=wl
Following the brief pit-stop, we will cruise from Freeport all along the coast and arrive at our usual final destination, Salsa's Mexican Restaurant, for some good food and great company! From there, we will have a photo-opportunity at Cherry Hill, only five minutes northeast of Salsa's, along the seawall. As oppose to ending our cruise at this moment, we thought it would be more appropriate to end our Galveston cruise with, what else, a relaxing day at the beach! So plan out a whole day to spend time we our humble team and get to know some other great teams from the Houston area!

Here is a breakdown of our schedule of events:

Day of meet:MARCH 27th

* Northside Pre-meet 10:30 (Rollout at 11:15am to the Bass Pro location)
Hooters of Spring
120 FM 1960 West (just off of I-45 North)
Houston, TX 77090

* Bass Pro Shop Pre-meet -- 11:30am [/i] (Rollout at 12:30pm)
1000 Basspro Drive
Pearland, TX 77047

* Pitstop at BUC-EE's in Freeport
4231 E. Hwy 332
Freeport, TX 77541
* Lunch at Salsas in Galveston (around 3pm)
* Photoshoot at Cherry Hill in Galveston
* End the day at the beach

Other Important Information:
Money:
Bring Lunch Money and $2 for tollway fee in Freeport. Please fill your gas tanks before you arrive at the Bass Proshop pre-meet so we do not have to sidetrack the cruise so you can get gas.

Rules and Formalities:
-ABSOLUTELY NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL OF ANY KIND!!
-No littering
-No revving your engine
-Observe all traffic laws when entering and exiting the parking lot (this means no test runs or racing of any kind. You will be asked to leave)
-Respect each other and vehicles
Our Galveston Cruise is the main way we interact with different teams and car clubs in the Houston area, and therefore expect to see vehicles that are non-GM at our event. It is because of this that we will strictly enforce the rule about RESPECT for other people's vehicle choice. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in the loss of your forum privileges (or you will be banned altogether) and you will no longer be invited to a GM of Houston meet. Like I said, we've never had to enforce these rules because we have an awesome group of people here who have an outstanding level of courteousness and etiquette. Bottom line, LET'S ALL HAVE FUN!!!

*Because we will be making reservations with Salsa's for this event, we ask that if you are planning on attending the cruise, please R.S.V.P by adding your name to the list of attendees, along with how many guests you plan on bringing. This thread will be posted on multiple forums, so it is important for us to have an exact count before we make our reservations.

Why would I post something that I'm not going? I've been getting questions via pm from folks wondering are if there are any local activities in town. Just because there's no Galants present at some meet doesn't make it shitty. I'm way past that. If you want to be loved and adored at every meet go invest in a Civic hatchback. They love you a good time! :lol:

I can't speak for Warren, but personally I don't like going to meets when I'm the only Galant there OR when I will know no one there. Believe it or not but I'm the quiet type that stays in the background and generally doesn't talk to anyone I don't know. It ends up being awkward or boring.

Like was asked, are you bringing your car? Will you be here for the meet? I think some of the TGCTX members should have a little welcoming thing lol.

Im not sure if m bringing my car yet. Depends on gas prices since my car takes premium fuel only. It's either Galveston or Florida. Not sure yet.

Congratualation! And that's the reason why I no longer post meets here. All this I won't go to a meet all because there's no/ little Galants there is stupid. There are folks out there think I'm the only modified Galant in town but that doesn't faze me one bit. I enjoy other people's company I don't give a rat's ass whether if they drive a Galant or not. If you can't handle that kind of level I can't imagine what your daily schedule is like? Suck up and meet other people.

^ that's what I'm saying. It's like saying Galant owners are different breed of people (some are) and we are compelled to just hang out with them only. :lol:

We're meeting up at the 1st meet-up place which is the Hooters Spring i45/1960. Reason being is because historically, these guys wouldn't slow down and if I stop anywhere they'd be long gone (85mph avg speed). I'll get my other Mitsu friends to join up. I'm also be instlling a video cam on my harness bar to take for the cruise.

Well, we didn't go on the cruise because one person which I'm not gonna say got really drunk the night before. So instead, we had a small meet at Hooters, met some Club3g members and head to the local Pick-a-part junkyard to find parts, and then did a small photoshoot.
