Default ElPaso? Moving there soon.

Anyone in the EP area? Any shop recommendations?

Honestly you'd be better off trying to find a El paso specific car website, the Texas section on stanceworks is a freakin graveyard.

not like any of us Texas guys could help anyways, as it's about 800 miles from me and most the other major cities.

you're essentially moving to Juarez Mexico, so good luck on not dying. don't think there's much of a stance scene, but I hear the drug and prostitute scene is top-notch!

I am a weapons instructor for the military, not too worried about my personal safety. I do not let myself get into questionable situations. I do not plan on living in EP more like commuting to Fort Bliss from about 40-50 miles out.

This. No one really talks on the TX thread. Houston has a massive scene but it seems like we all just talk on Facebook about events/shows. Not sure about El Paso.

This x2. It's hella far, and I dont know of any meets or people over there.

Considering they decapitate armed military personal for fun I'd be careful

If you really want to get into the scene from El Paso I'd suggest commuting to some of the bigger meets like All Team Bash, Wekfest, HIN, etc. While you're there, network, meet people, keep in touch.

I have no interest in Juarez except having the Ford dealer ship me replacement e-spec parts for the car via UPS across the border.
