just throwing this out there

theres a dallas area g2g thread on here and kinda sparked a thought in my head...

what about getting a monthly truck meet together somewhere on common ground for the dallas/ft worth area guys...

chevy/dodge/ford guys of all kinds welcome....

just at a food place... nothing super strict with a bunch of gudelines.... just a g2g for people with all types of trucks to meet up and check out the competition...

for example, there used to be weekly meets at a winghouse, or bone daddys... people would just drive in, eat, hang out, talk, bench race etc etc...

anybody interested in something like this? anybody know a good area with good availability for places to eat? :tacos:

open to suggestions, ideas, thoughts, comments, complaints, etc etc.... just getting started here before i toss it out to the other local boards..

subway

Gtfo

haha what im not invited?

not anymore

I'd vote for Wing House at Loop 12 & I35 once a month. Good food, girls and a well lit parking lot.

yeah i was thinking about that place since we have been there, they are open to vehicle groups, and its somewhat in the middle... also maybe a little farther west.... who knows, gotta see what other input people have then ill post up about it

It's all real far south for me but I'd like to show up some time.

Here's Wing House on Lombardy Lane on the D-FW map:

I don't know but I'd guess most of the members are in Dallas. Dallas is kinda far for Ft Worth folks and Fort Worth is kinda far for Dallas folks. Wing House is a good compromise, and since this thread is inspired by my thread about Dallas GTGs, who here would come to Wing House once a month, and who has other/better locations to suggest?

That's close to the place I was thinking of if it matters.

Dangit! I just remembered the name of the joint. It was called Fenders.

:woot:

Fenders is probably good too. I think they are close to Wing House. I just think that is a great location for most of the members in DFW - IMHO.

I thought Fender's went out of business in like 1995. :doofus:

Now back on track....sorry.

I know the place you're speaking of, Nathan. It was on NW Hiway, on the north side of the road between loop 12 and I35e. It was bought out by the Pappas Brothers and leveled to turn the area into the restaurant row of NW Hiway. Back when street rods used to hang out at that drive-in I used to drive up from Ennis on the weekends to check out the cars. It was a top notch drive-in restaurant, probably the nicest I've ever been to.

we could meet there or across the street at Papa's they have a covered area over there and a nice patio

Sounds like it was Fenders....

Maybe this place...

What a great job of investigation! Ha! I'm glad I remembered the name of the old place. I guess old is correct.....you'd have to be at least as old as me to remember Fender's. It was the schiznit back in the day. Lots of Mexicos near by too....:tvhaha:

Well, it looks like we've narrowed it down to one part of town.

What day/night of the week? Once a month is good.
The only days I'm out is Thursdays (Charity Racing League night)
and Saturdays (date night w/ my honey).

wow, I work with in 2 miles of both those places. strokers is a great bar, they have bikini night and holdem night and good live music. oh and ice cold shiner beer!!!

Sat might be nice but Larry can't come. To be honest it's a long way for me so I would not be a regular. Talk amoungst yourselves....I'm getting a little verklempt.

So which one do you recommend?

Alan, maybe we're ready to start one poll on the location then another on day/time?

Would you put it on your calendar and come by once a month?

Especially if there were Fords and Dodges there too - all truckin' guys and gals?

It's tough for me to confirm. Too many variables (like a wife and three kids plus a cat). :LOL:

i'm interested but two+ hour drive is not that fun for only acouple of hours

IIInteresting....

Me and the Mr would be interested. We are in the DFW Airport area....

im out west of fort worth so a dallas meet would be out of the question. fort worth or midcities area is fine. i wouldnt mind dusting off one of the trucks and take a little drive.
