Moving to San Antonio

Looks like it is going to happen next month! Very exciting!

So what's happening in the Porsche world in the area? Any suggestions on where to live?

Am jealous. Lived there in the early 90's. Wish I had never left.

Just make sure the AC in your cars is tuned up and working. You will need it 12 months out of the year. Sell your snow blower before you move, you will never sell it in TX.

They have a very active PCA region.

Where are you working? Looking for home or apartment? Northwest or Northeast area of town between I10 & 281 off 1604. Lots of new development has occurred in the past 10 years.

I moved to Houston from San Antonio about 10 years ago after living in SA for over 25 years....

Welcome to Texas!

I've driven 1604 a bunch of times. I've never really thought it was that bad. You should try the 405 in L.A.
