I will have to see if they even make one for my Hyundai Tucson, I doubt they do as we're not really the type to mod our cars

I think I will end up changing the trans fluid over to a premium synthetic fluid due to me driving Trans Mountain 5 days a week round trip. I already use synthetic oil with a factory filter so I'm leaving that at that.

Looking forward to exploring the area a little bit more. There's just so much to do around here. Did wander over by Tiger Direct and Guitar Center last Saturday.

Are there any small guitar shops in town that do setups and tune ups?

Thanks for that!

I prefer small shops for the service instead of the Guitar Center car salesman way of doing business.

They're only a few miles from me on the west side.

Have you used them before?

Tried the Cuban at Maracas last weekend. To say it was good was an understatement!

Question: the GF is coming into town in a couple of weeks and I want to take her to a fancy restaurant. Any suggestions? In terms of fancy, we want it fancy enough to where you would have to wear a sport coat for the guys. Probably a steak house type of place if there is one.

hmmm. Cafe Central or Garufa. When Anson 11 opens downtown, that will be another great spot

Default Another option

We really like Cuartito Azul (Argentinian cuisine, with beef as their specialty). You will need reservations as it is very small (hence the name "Cuartito'--small room).

Yes. Unfortunately, I still don't know the area that well yet. I can navigate myself around the west side decently to the shopping places but I have yet to wander around downtown, UTEP or whatever is called the east side.

Okay, at least it will be finished when I get back from deployment. If it was open now, it would cut 10+ minutes off my commute. I live by the outlet mall and I take Trans Mountain to 54 to 601 and then to East Ft. Bliss. Once that construction is done, I will just take 375 all the way to my exit on East Bliss.

I'm lucky that I leave early enough in the mornings to avoid traffic.

It's a haul, I'm at about 35 minutes each way now but I enjoy the west side.
