Thanks for pointing that out! I was completely unaware.

According to thissite, it gets way better!

But they used to have so much awesome. Galant VR-4s, Starion ESi-Rs, Eclipse GS-T/X. Even the Mirage was kind of interesting back in the day. Now they have one car that has any modicum of performance at all. The rest is iMiev, Outlander, Outlander Sport and the new 3 cylinder Lancer? How could they stray so far?

Regarding Veyron maintenance and taken from Car & Driver, "Michelin will only allow two sets of tires — they cost about $42,000 a set — be fitted to the Veyron before the rims — $69,000 a set — also have to be replaced to ensure the integrity of the bead seal at high speed."

Old Mitsubishis are crazy. My parents had a 1987 Galant. It had:

That's so awesome! Coincidentally, there were a few MX-6 and 626 of that vintage that came from the factory with leather even though that kind of thing was typically reserved for the higher end 929 of the era.

Well I'm straying a bit, but have you traveled South to Richardson to Twisted Root for their Root Beer not to mention their amazing burgers. Travel a bit further to Dallas for Hopdoddy Burger bar and their homemade sodas and great burgers?

No worries! Hopefully the couple of places I've mentioned will entice you to journey South about 5-6 miles. Salsa's is great as is Zenna and hopefully they will change your mind about the quality and uniqueness of the restaurant fare available in Plano. One other restaurant if you like Mexican is Cristina's which is…

The wheels on it though! Those are from the MX-6/626 GT Turbo with 4-wheel steering! Is it a 626 GT? I thought those were only 5-door models?

I'd be surprised if he didn't. He usually tries to volunteer at the matches when he's between games.

I came to Plano in '88 from Phoenix...

The thing you have to understand is that Collin County, TX where Plano is located is the 2nd wealthiest county in the state. There are tons of counties that are nothing but farmland hence the huge disparity regarding wealth and other socio-economic factors. What's generally true of Texas is not necessarily true of…

Are you insinuating there are no book stores? Park and Preston has not only a Barnes and Noble, but also a Half-Price Books.

The problem is people from outside of Texas look for something they know, something familiar (as does everyone when they are somewhere new). With that being said, A-1 Thick & Hearty burger for the win!

The humidity factor may be off though...

Props for calling out Squash. My dad is a big Squash player and plays at one of the main rec centers in Plano as well as one the Lifetime Fitness. He plays in Squash tournaments several times a year in Dallas as well as Oklahoma.

Zenna @ Park and 75. Thai/Japanese/sushi joint. Happy hour from 3-7 pm daily. They also deliver until 3 a.m. and have a great and inexpensive tapas menu during happy hour.

Plano only recently started selling liquor outside of restaurants. Give them time for a Barcadia.

"Or maybe some real, authentic, Asian cuisine. Like, P.F. Changs." For you I recommend Da Won. A somewhat unknown Korean restaurant on the SW side of 15th and Custer. I say unknown but it's been ranked very highly by our local Dallas Observer the last couple of years.

"I don't think I've ever seen a non-chain Mexican food restaurant up here. " I recommend you try Salsa's tex-mex. SW corner of Legacy and Independence. Let me know what you think.
