On July 23, the Summer of Taurus tour arrived in the Lone Star State for a two-day blogger meet-up, test-drives and executive interviews. Blogger Giovanni Gallucci from The Agency Blog hosted the first night, and Dallas South Blogger Shawn Williams attended the second day’s event with Taurus Exterior Design Manager and Dallas native Earl Lucas.

Ride along with Earl and Shawn as they chat about designing cars and growing up in Dallas by watching this video.

Thursday evening’s event was held at Humperdink’s Bar in Greenville and featured a number of great Dallas-area car enthusiasts including the producers of Burn Out Radio, who streamed their show live from the bar. Other attendees included Alyssa Gardina from Five O’Clock Dallas and Colin Alsheimer from the It’s Pronounced All Shy Mer Blog.

Bright and early the next day, we headed out to Top Golf Dallas to meet with Earl Lucas and The Dallas South Blog. After a hitting a few balls, the crew hit the road for another round of test-drives.

Texans had another shot to catch the tour; we’ll bring details from the Austin stop later this week.
