johnc Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Oh, and about the people - Texans, especially women, react very well to good manners. If you are polite and carefully spoken, most folks will go out of their way to help you. That's so true! I had to work in Houston for a few months and on my first day I went to step off an elevator and an older gentlemen put his hand on my chest and said, "Son, here we let the ladies step off first."

RPMS Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 If you're bored' date=' buy yourself a pickup, a bag of Red Man, case of Old Milwalkee and a rifle (hang in the back window of pickup) and head for the nearest rodeo sorry texans, no offense[/quote'] Why would that offend us? You've obviously never drank Old Milwaukee! Shiner Bock is the beer of choice w/ many of my friends who appreciate the finer things in life.

First off, grab the turn signal stalk firmly and snap it off. You won't be using it. If you do turn on your blinkers, that is a signal to everyone behind you to speed up. You'll also need to learn the "Katy Freeway Dance", where you put on makeup and/or shave (depending on your sex, your heritage, and your preferences) while driving 70mph 10 feet behind the car in front of you. Remember that if you hit someone you'll have to slow down, so for God's sake, be careful. Accidents are caused by people who don't know the rules of the road. Texas' DOT motto is "drive friendly". That's because that redneck in the truck that just cut you off is packing a 12 gauge under the seat, he hasn't had the chance to shoot anything in a week, his wife has PMS, and a boil just sprung up on his ass. SOMETHING is gonna die today, and it might as well be the first person that pisses him off. Your Ranger is small, but adequate. Drive it through the mud twice a week to help it look authentic, and the next time you're in need of tires, buy the largest ones you can find. Have you noticed yet that there are lots of places where 90% of the vehicles parked outside are trucks? It's an interesting demographic. Good luck!
