Default From Arizona With Love...

Snapped a few pics on a recent trip to Sedona. A few turned out OK, so I thought I'd share. I guess it's a nice change of pace from the the run of the mill JDM bullshit we all see on here 5000x a day. Enjoy.









Mad t1t3 ro4d, y0! "High clearance vehicles only."







My view from the room at the Hyatt.



Half of the kick *** room at the Hyatt. I got stuck on the sofa bed.



My new truck. Ran into a few mud holes on the back to town.

Sure is nice up there compared to Phoenix. A little bit cleaner, a lot cooler and much more **** to do. Mountain biking up there was KICK ***! I wish I would have taken my camera on some of those trails. If you ever visit AZ, check out Sedona. Nice little town, not overly touristy. Just stay off those *** *** Pink Jeeps. Those *************...

yeah sedona is great, its on my list of things to see when i get out to arizona to visit my friends.

about the truck though, how's the gas treating you?
is that the diesel ram?

i want a truck soon, and a full size would be nice, but it looks like my only choice will be a little 22re power 4x4 toyota with the way gas is looking for the future.

even where gas is right now at 3 bucks a gallon, if i drove a full size v8 unleaded consuming 4x4, i'd be paying about a thousand dollars a month just for gas. that would include a normal commute, and one short fun trip per weekend on average.

can't have a vehicle where monthly gas prices are greater than insurance/loan payments.

Gas sucks in this thing. It's the 5.9L V8, so I'm averaging around 10-14 MPG around town. Actually gets better mileage when I'm wheeling in 4 HI, though. I kinda wish it was the diesel, cause I hear those get over 20 MPG on average, with a beefier transmission, transfer case and axles to boot. I wanted a Tacoma, but finding a nice, cheap ext. cab 4WD is impossible. But my insurance with the Ram is about $700 cheaper a year than my Integra.

What you save on insurance you will pay 10+ fold in gas. I liked the teg a lot better. Did some *** clown buy your teg? -Aaron

More of a psuedo-suburbia, overpriced art gallery two horse town if you ask me. I think of it as mostly the center of civilization for the surrounding outdoor recreation. There is one small area that really caters to tourist gawkers. I don't think of it as the tourist nightmare that Vegas, Anaheim, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Manhattan can be.

The Integra was fun when I had it, but I grew tired of trying to make a slow FWD commuter car into a sports car; it would never be fast and track days are getting way to expensive. I also wanted a vehicle that can clear grains of sand and can carry more than a few bags of groceries. That and I wanted to get away from the increasingly gay import scene for awhile. When I can afford a 300ZX TT, then I'll return to imports, but not a moment sooner.

If you want to go offroading, let me know. I think you'll change your opinion slightly...

The guy that bought it was pretty cool, but certainly doesn't fully appreciate all the finer points and custom parts I labored to install...

Northern Arizona is the **** for great driving. If you give it a thumbs down your a toolbag in a slow car.
