    Visiting Austin, TX this Sunday . . .

    I know Jordan and a few other people here live in Austin. I am flying in Sunday for business on Monday and looking for a good place to get some grub and maybe a cerveza or two. Any good local joints you can recommmend?

    Chuy's

    Chuy's is real good. They serve Tex-Mex. Here's their locations:

        You absolutely must take the time to visit Terry Sayther Automotive (where I work)

        Many cool cars to check out!

            I've never been to that one, but the ones on barton springs and the one off 183 have always been good. Great food and service.

              Would love to. I get in around 6pm Sunday, and have to go to Bastrop, TX for meetings all day Monday. I might not be back to Austin until 5 or 6 on Monday and am leaving Tuesday AM. Unless you guys are there after 6 on Sunday or later in the day Monday, it might not be in the cards for me. I'll have to check my flight time on Tuesday - maybe I could swing by Tuesday AM?

                        Jordan, what is Terry Sayther near?

                        My aunt lives in the Barton Springs area, and I go up there alot, and I would like to see the shop sometime.

                          Barton springs is off Lamar/Barton springs road. Terry's shop is about a mile away.

                            I second Terry Sathers, the place is awsome. I've seen some crazy cars there, 2002s, m6s, an M532 wagon (what!?), very cool shop. As for food... Guerro's is my pick for best mexican (burrito especial)0, Hut's or Sandy's for burgers.

                            Maybe if you're lucky you'll get to see what car is under the cloth covering an ominous slanted hood and windshield at Terry's. I saw this car last time but I didn't have time to investigate further, maybe Jordan can help me out. e31? M1?
