What to see in Phoenix?

Hi All, I'm going to be in Phoenix for 4 days next week (October 2 to 5). My first trip to the States, just wondering what is worth seeing in Phoenix in the couple of days I'm not working, expecially hotrod/custom/cl***ic car related?

Thanks!

 

id hit up el polacko on the board.

 

will do

 

If you want to see an old boneyard , you might as well stop in at Desert Valley Auto Parts in North Phoenix and just take a walk around.

 

Peoria swap this weekend I think.

 

go to this web site if you're wanting to see a car show

Peoria Swap sounds like fun. Might have to take a look into what it'll take for me to get up there. Any forms of public transport to use/avoid?

 

that is an amazing collection of metal there. Do they let people in for a browse?

 

The cruise at 83rd Ave 7 Union Hills (Safeway parking lot) on Saturday evening usually draws 300+ cars,the cruise at 35th and Northern on Friday night is much smaller but you may find some HAMB guys.

 

Go over to Mesa and over on Washington avenue , theres Papago Park. There was a restoration shop near by when I worked there in 1988 too. Actually , to em I don't miss thw area . Mesa looks as though it was built no more than ten years ago! scrubba

Its going to take you a long time to travel around town on public transport. The Phoenix metro area is spread over quite a large, well... area. You can check bus/light rail schedules at www.valleymetro.org.

 

Well, tons to see.

If your into street vendor art and find yourself wanting to do something Friday evening the 3rd, downtown opens up. Click this link and check out the exhibits: http://www.google.com.my/search?q=First+Fridays+Phoenix
