My trip To AZ photo journal

[Joel]

Well today was the first day i got to borrow my grandpas towncar and go explore. Went to apex motorsports in tempe. Saw some sweet rides, this one was my favorite!

It was really hot! lincoln outside temp gauge...

Palm trees are pimp!

And exploring a couple parking lots and just driving, I saw some killer whips. I only got to snap pics of a few.

More later...

going cruisin right now... plan to see more cool car pics in the morning! BTW i think i decided i am going to buy one of these things(GEM car) if I sell my civic, yes seriously! autocross would be so insanely fun with one of these, even tho they are fwd. as long as the course was tight. They make coilover kits, wide body kits, HIDs, etc.... for these. anything you can think of x 1000.

Saw a saturn sky today, will post pics tomorrow. went to visit the campus of mobile dynamics. will probably start in july instead of november. I hate ND. I don't wanna go back.

I am also going to PIR tomorrow to watch some rolex Grand prix class road racing. Ran into a guy carrying a carbon fiber briefcase and found out his name was Leighton Reese

and he drives a ZO6 in those races. He invited us out. I am trying to find more info on it right now.
