New here from Phoenix

Post by BarbWire »

Found this board with lots of good info for someone new to the stick and driving in general.

I am 16, about to get my license at the end of this month (ya im late) i drive a 72' bronco passed down to me from my father . We are going to "re-do" it all ourselves after successfully overhauling my brothers 79' camaro

Ive been driving it on and off whenever i can, it is only a 3 speed atm until we put a 5 speed in, yes 4wd

I love driving a stick, i still have some problem areas but i know how to fix them and Hopefully i will get some pics up soon

Welcome. I didn't get my license until 18, I think. But then, being from NYC, half the people there don't even have licenses. :P
Glad to have you on board. I'd like to visit Phoenix one day.
What'cha gonna do when we come for you?

But it's a dry heat!! :lol: Seriously, I know exactly what you mean. Doesn't get that hot here, but with 99% humidity, even 80 degrees makes you lazier than a bump on a log. :)

Ya its a "dry heat" until your clothes are damp with sweat after driving to the store thats less than 2 miles away!

I went to texas last summer, like you said it was only 80ish out but the humidity just killed it lol, still had fun

Hey welcome to the site!

I have some relatives in the Tucson area, been out to AZ a couple times. Mainly did the touristy type crap. Some nice views down there though, like Sedona. Also hung out in Nogales a couple times. Border towns are always an interesting place to go.
