if your into shovelling snow and antique shopping I would stay in Ohio.

If your into driving your ******* roadster 365 days a year come on out. There are a lot of hambers here.

 

If ya like 115 in the summer and 100's most of the year you will love it here !Right now the weather is perfecto.After the goodguys show comming next weekend here we take a short break then its auction TIME .Starting turkey weeekend and goin through jan .
Remember the rules of the AZ road .If the guy has his window DOWN give HIM the right a way no matter what .He has no AC .
Cool events ? WHEN ARE YOU COMMIN OUT ?
COOL SHOPS , yeah a ton of them -so-cal speed shop ,industrial ch***is ,RB's ,barret jackson home office ,And a lot more .Bettter hurry phx is almost FULL and should be closing soon

 

Something car related to do every weekend. During the summer the rest of the country has events to go to!

 

Don't believe these guys! All LIARS! Do NOT come out here, naw just kidding, it's great, most of the time, hope you can stand the heat!

 

yeah,we're budjeting rite now for our trip..looks to be like we're gonna be visiting either in jan. or feb. and moving over the summer...yeah,i KNOW it'll be hot and i got NO AC in the chevy AND she's a black car..great,eh?oh well..my main concern is getting a little familiar with the area and making some friends and MAYBE find some work.i'm not picky and i'll take almost anything as long as it's car related and puts food on the table.and nope,i'm not too proud to sweep floors or too lazy to be the go-for boy.but,at any rate,i'm just lookin forward to gettin out and hopefully doin somethin.seems like this'll be fun!...anyone out there need a go-for? ok,enough whoring myself out before the HAMB wolves get me..!not askin for a hand out, just curious if anyone can give me a heads up on where i should look and where to make friends..i'm not expectin to be the head of any company my 1st day in town

you will meet a lot of people because nobody is from Phoenix, were all from somewhere else.

 

I moved out here from PA. 12 years ago. First word of advice I can give you is DRINK A TON OF WATER in the summer time. I have had kidney stones 2 times since I moved out here. Doc says,,Not enough water..too much milk. Custom car scene rocks. Lot of great shops and great people. Riding bikes is great except ya gotta dodge the gray hairs looking for their geritol fix.
Best of luck with the move.

from PA,huh?that rocks because my club is based out of PA.yeah,i'm SO lookin forward to goin..and dont worry,i think i drink TOO MUCH water as it is! lol i'll be sure to post on HAMB before i go to see if anyone wants to show me around town by then
creepy

 

I just made the same move (but from NJ) in July.
We did our 'scouting' missions in Feb and April. Funny how different the weather was when we moved here in JULY!

Yeah, it's hot. But 'it's a dry heat'.

I love it here, I've met a ton of cool people (and even *3* AZ natives), and the car scene is awesome. I'm new-ish to rods, but I've been kicking around the VW world for about 15+ years. I can't compare the scene to my NJ scene at all.

Hey, you're right! I'm a nobody and I'm a native!

Beware, come out and you may end up financing Colangelo's next stadium with your tax dollars.....
