100+ Degrees for 100+ Days!!

I'm from NY, and when I moved hear I thought it was ridiculios, but now... 100-105 is comfortable. Anything over 110 gets a little warm. Like today it's like 57 out today, and I am freezing!!!!

Oh I was kidding. :icon17:

Never been to AZ but I can imagine it gets pretty uncomfortable at times. Everyone always talks about the 'dry heat' but I really dunno what it feels like.

nogoodname 12-15-2008 02:47 PM

wow.......you guys got a Nissan Proving Grounds over there.......all I got over here is a Nissan Head Quarters building......lol......cars are brought there, but Nissan is smart, they have a fully closed warehouse so that you can't see anything.....GM & Chrysler have an open lot where you can see all the new models.

Completely different than the heat back east. When you guys see like 60-70-80% humidity... we see like 10%. If it gets even the slightest bit humid here, you can deffinitely feel the difference.

I know its cheap to live out there, a few of my friends moved there a couple years ago. They told me how big their apartment was and how much it cost, insanely cheap by NJ standards.

I drive past the road that takes you to the proving grounds all the time. It's not visable from the road (Privte Road). It's kind-of funny.... when your driving down the road, and you see the sign for the turn to the proving grounds; there are two huge *** farms with like 10,000 cows on both sides, and it stinks like crap!!! :icon17:

nogoodname 12-15-2008 02:51 PM

enjoy the nice warm weather down there, over here is snowed big time like 2 days ago and now it raining...LOL.......this is such a PIA b/c everything is covered with ice...

My apartment: 2bd/2bth 1,300 sqft w/garage, and I pay $1180/month. I live in a "Luxury" aprtment complex.

I used to live in Scottsdale, AZ for a short while with work. The weather made it a great place to drive when I owned a 350Z. In Canada, my 350Z was parked all winter...

With all the speed cameras they put up here, I may be parking the Z for other reasons. :shakes head:

I agree but thats not for me...all the salt and sand on a nice car. I would rather drive an SUV in the winter here...the fact that I try to go skiing every weekend might have something to do with that. :)

I haven't owned a sports car since I sold my 350Z in late 2005; I traded it on an Xterra which I still own, in addition to a sportbike. Well, I can attest that I stopped getting speeding tickets after trading the Z on an SUV!

Now I have the sports car bug again, so plan to get a new Z and will risk the speeding tickets. We have some photo radar here too.

Are there cameras on all the freeways now- the 101 or 202? I was on those quite a bit in addition to the I-10.
