    We participated in a parade this morning and then headed straight to Honor Cafe in Conroe, Texas for lunch.

    Thanks for posting this! It’s funny… I didn’t get a single picture of my HMMWV at the show. 🤷‍♂️

    As @Mogman said, you can elect to use your bumper number in lieu of a license plate when your vehicle is registered as a FMV in Texas. This is a good read: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/texas-fmv-laws-former-military-vehicles.67255/

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    @frauhansen - You have one good looking truck. And knowing that it fits in the garage at the pub is good intel! I loaded my M1097R1 up yesterday morning and drove to Giddings, Texas where I met several other SS members at a car show. I connected with @texas30cal in Brenham and we...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Today was “Take your HMMWV to work Friday,” which (in my humble opinion) should be a national holiday. I put 110 miles on the M1097R1 and averaged 12.6 mpg. Much of the commute was highway driving at 55mph. Here’s a glimpse at the downtown Houston skyline over the hood. Anyone from...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    We were in the front parking lot across from the main entrance and vendor area at the museum. The same place as last year. Although we didn’t get much foot traffic (i.e., people walking across the parking lot), everyone could see our trucks.

    Follow (or “Watch”) this year’s thread. We’ll bump it next year when a new thread is posted. So back on topic, I put 177 miles on the M1097R1 this weekend attending the rally and averaged 9.4 miles per gallon. I had a M105 trailer in tow for most of those miles.

    That’s great to hear. Sounds like you’ll be good to go for the rally in College Station later this month!

    @Mainsail - I was curious where you were. It looks like a top secret location. But… I lost interest once I saw that it’s empty…

    This seems odd posting after a foul trash can, but here we go… I had to pick-up the online Walmart order. So here is the M1097R1 moonlighting as a grocery-getter.

    I’m reading this while in the Whataburger drive through line.... Bummer! Sorry to hear about the break down, but glad you got her home alright.
