Just make sure you shake out the sheets at your hotel.... or just bring your blacklight along.

Let us know when you get here and might have to have a meeting at our "office," which usually looks A LOT like the Hooters on I-17 North!

Missed you, got into Phoenix at 1 pm met the guy drove around, he lives out by John McCains old house, bought it and drove home. Just got home. What's the scoop with all the photo enforcement zones, when you see them are you already busted? No helmet law in Az?

No helmet law in AZ, the temp "pop up" photo vehicles have to have a sign on the road 100 yard before you come up on them. The "built in" versions do not.
Sorry to have missed you! What kind of car did you end up with?

I would see those photo signs and wonder if I was already tagged.
I got a 89 Vanagon, pretty clean, nice car, well taken care of. A 86 targa in his garage with 55k miles on it. The air worked good on the Vanagon, even in Phoenix, I used it almost all the way home. Pretty cool around here now, no need for air today, got it smogged a little bit ago and am going now to pay up the but to the DMV. Thought about staying around but hit the road anyway. Didn't know anybody in town. ![]() ![]() |

McCain's old house is about a mile from mine. Well their is no helmet law here, but those Photo radar are what the local gov call "a way to keep the highways safe" total BS. Just a way to generate revenue.

I didn't know I was going to go look at it until Tuesday evening and flew there Wednsday morning. Way to short of time to see if I could meet anyone.
Pretty warm there. Sure is a lot of desert. |
