Hey, its a dry heat! You want Hot? How about a humid sticky hot, now that just draws the energy right from you.....we used to camp in Death Valley, CA. Hotter than hell but great to ride motorcycles in (Before it was almost illegal now). Just find some shade and a cool one. I spent 18 months in Philippines, most of the time in full fatigues and sometimes with a pack, holy Jesus that place is humid! Either steaming jungles or hot hills. You 'Nam vets know the same conditions, but I didnt have anyone looking to off me....I think you'll like it. It'll take about 3 months to aclimatize (sp). Snow sucks....

Hope you have a better first summer there then I did, 100 + days in a row of 100* or hotter. 143 days without rain one year. Worked in the afternoon, can remember standing in the TV room waiting to go home at mid-night and the temperature still being over 100*. Winter time skies of yellow & brown.... Hope you like people....don't miss Mesa one bit.

WELCOME STEVE! We are most likely within ten minutes of each other. Queen Creek was getting so big they sub-divided it about three years ago. one half Queen Creek,one half SanTan Valley. I live at Gary Rd.,and Hunt Highway. You can pm me and I will give you my phone number and email address. again WELCOME !!!:glasses7:
 
Welcome to AZ. I live in Sierra Vista about 3 hours SE of Mesa and about 20 degrees cooler in the summer. When people come up to me and talk spanish I tell them I get paid dollars and not Peso's so speak english. I've had my barracuda for ten years now and still don't have a/c in it.

I live fairly close to you, not a fan of all the rain and gloomy weather we get either but temps over 90 kill me so it would be one extreme to the other. A steady 70 - 80 would be perfect but there's no such place.
 
I live 90 miles north of Phoenix by Prescott AZ.
It's generally 20 degress cooler here than Phoenix and about 2,000 higher elevation.
26 this morning and supposed to be 51 for the high today.
 
Welcome to Az! I'm up near Anthem, not far from "805moparkid" .The heat is an "acquired taste", although I've never gotten used to it. Start lining up "car buddies" as you'll find it's not quite the same as where you're from. There's quite a few Mopar enthusiasts around here, although you'll find many (most?) are more into the mildly modified Mopars as opposed to some real hard-core cars (just my opinion). Can't speak for the East Valley, but most of the cops around here (even SHeriff Joe's deputies) are pretty cool. You'll like it here.....

Wecome,you will love it here.Every Sat. in Scottsdale,at 101 $ Indian Bend RD.There is a car show at Mickey D,S.Mopar day is the 3rd Sat. of the Month. DAN
 
welcome and lets get together...all of us. I plan to stop @ Earnhardt thursday morning to see all my friends off for the MATS cruise. 8am to 10am. maybe we could set up a saturday night at the pavilians? I'm interested to see the Duster.
 
I live just down the road from "805moparkid". Don't know about the car scene in the East Valley, but I'll tell ya one thing----- it's nowhere near as busy as back East or the Midwest. I think that's because the weather is so good here (even in Summer) guys just don't have a sense of urgency to finish & use their cars. Plus there's alot to do here besides car stuff anyway.
anyhow................ WELCOME!

I should add that the wife and I are actively looking for property in, Mesa, Gilbert, SanTan etc. looking for a house with room for a small shop.
 
No rain in 145 days? How about no rain in 3 years! So. Cal, baby!
 
How about a 2500sq ft house w/about 1600sq ft of garage, & a lift all on an acre & 1/8 in Mesa? Loads of room for a huge shop!!
