Scottsdale Arizona

As a fellow NYer (Queens), you'll love it here. Good weather, quite a few cruising spots & shows throughout the State almost non-stop. If you race you can run year 'round. I live on about 1 1/2 acres & property taxes are about 1,800/yr.
Downside? HEAT! Interiors disintegrate like you wouldn't believe, no real streetracing (if you're into that:ncool: ) few speed shops & if it's not Brand X you're screwed.
BUUUT the weather is great, roads are good & open (compared to NY), most cops are cool and you'll find lots of fellow gearheads that are more than willing to simply help out as opposed to charge for every little thing.
If you've never been here, consider coming in late Spring/ early Summer so you can see what kind of heat you'll experience. Winters in the Valley are generally 70s in the daytime, 40s at night so that's no shock. It's the Summer that gets everyone so you may want examine that closely. My sister won't even come here then:cheers:
