Hello Phoenix

A week from today I will be in Phoenix for about a month on business. Any car shows are anything special to check out while I am there?

Its not exactly a mall, its more like a big shopping plaza cause i doubt they have home depots at the malls lol. Its on scottsdale, indian bend and the 101 n

There is also another somewhat meet ive heard of on friday nights on the west side. I think its on 99av and indian school, or is it 105av? lol somewhere around there!!! and there was another one on mcdowell around those same avs too. I just been out of the underground meets. Pavillions its a huge one, depending how sunny the day is you will see muscle cars, beautiful classics, exotics, bunch of modified tunners, bikes etc etc lol

Yeah I'm sure i'll get a nice tan. I've seen a few FDs now and just saw a red s5 parked on base so I'm glad there is a living rotary community here.

I have seen 3 red FDs and 1 red FC. 3 were on base so I assume they are military.

Yikes, didn't even realize this weekend is the drift event.
I'm saving for tires for next months event on aug. 27th

I'll still go as a spectator though.

July 31st is Vegas Pro Am. Some of the drifters are heading up there to party and crash cars.

If you are talking about hitting pavs after the event, i wouldnt recommend it. Usually everyone stays at those events late night and cops at pavs start kicking people out after10:30p

Then you should come and meet/hang
