More "Texas Excess" - limos where their owners don't seem to worry too much about gas prices ... A stretched Escalade seen in the "Bay Area," which is south of town, about halfway to Galveston, and close to the NASA complex. A stretched Chrysler 300 seen at the '70s looking Bush Intercontinental (could that be intergalactic) Airport (IAH), the main airport.

Seen along Westheimer (yes, Westheimer) just inside the Inner Loop en route to the Galleria. The license plate frame says "NXCESS." That might be a different way of saying "Poverty Sucks."

Within an hour in the Post Oak-Galleria area and the River Oaks section of Houston ... Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis have big Texas written all over them, seen here at one of the entrances to River Oaks, possibly the nicest neighborhood in H-town. TEXAS and TRUCK both have 5 letters; love the palm trees in H-town that you don't get in the "Big D." Here's a REAL classic! And, as a bonus question, why the heck is my car parked next to the Greyhound station? (This one has the nicer alloys.)

Spotted two days ago, VW's Passat has come a long way and is now a fairly substantial car ... Spotted yesterday around the Houston Galleria, I also saw another Porsche (Panamera 4 door, maybe) in this exact same new color (a lot of enamel paint jobs on expensive cars lately) some 5 minutes earlier ...
