The 101 in scottsdale, and the upper west side.... All over the I-10..... All over the 51. The 60, and the new 202 don't, but they put those stupid mobile radar trucks on the side of the highway now...

That's too bad. I lived in Old Town Scottsdale and worked in North Scottsdale near Greyhawk GC so was on the 101 loop a lot...I remembered everyone going about 85mph on the 101, but those days must be over now. :(

Slidefox 01-03-2009 12:11 AM

Pretty much.... The stretch of the 101 from Indian Bend to Scottsdale Rd is the main reason we got the cameras in the first place. They were calling it "Arizona's Autobahn".

frost 01-03-2009 01:30 AM

What upsets me the most is people don't even do the speed limit when going by them. They have to do 10 UNDER the limit, as if they are going to get points for doing less than the speed limit.
If you live in the valley and are disgusted by photo radar, go to camerafraud.com and be part of the solution. With enough signatures, we can get it on the ballet.

Slidefox 01-03-2009 01:32 AM

^^True... You will even see people slamming on there brakes in order to avoid the cameras, and then speed up just after them.

Hey from Phoenix, AZ!! Just saw a silver 09 on the 101/7av.... had a license plate frame from the Nissan dealer at Bell Rd and I-17.....

The dealers around me (litchfield park area) have had the same ones for the past couple weeks. Not sure what they are asking because it's going to be probably 6 months before I get my trade paid down enough.

Hey Everyone,

I am in Tucson as well. Ordered my 370Z a couple weeks ago and sold my 350Z yesterday.

Z-less for the next 3 months is gonna suck. I'll be driving around my commuter, a mazda 3 :(

Has anyone else ordered or received any date details? The dealer isn't telling me anything other than maybe Mid to late March.

frost 01-21-2009 06:44 PM

Driving the mazda for three months will make you appreciate the Z that much more when you get it!

Endgame 01-21-2009 09:32 PM

Been driving my RX8 for 2 years... Can't wait for my switch. So, I am guessing I probally need to order mine in April if I want it in July/August...

Word to AZ! GO CARDS!

Slidefox 01-21-2009 10:08 PM

I will be so glad when the Superbowl is over... cause then i can stop hearing it from all these frickin fair-weather fans!!!

Endgame 01-29-2009 10:29 PM

I wasn't necessarily referring to you... just the local yokals in Phoenix. This is like the ultimate bandwagon state now!!

Sports and AZ:

Suns vs. Spurs Tonight
Cardinals in the Superbowl on Sunday
FBR Open Currently going on in Scottsdale (Biggest stop on the PGA Tour)

Yeah, he was an acrobat. He fell 40' to the ground on the first night of the events (Tuesday I believe).

par4bmw 01-30-2009 11:07 PM

Quite the party. Will be at the 16th green tomorrow and nest at night. If you have not been, go even if you are not into golf. Lots more to watch besides the golf.

It is sad what happened early in the week.

frost 03-24-2009 09:48 PM

I have yet to see one 370 on the streets here. Which is good, because it will enrage my penis envy.
