Phoenix is really nice. You can visit any professional sports teams for NFL, NHL, NBA, College games too (Arizona State University is near) and NASCAR (if that's your forte). We have a track here too if you'd like to take your car out. They have drift sessions at the Wild Horse Motorsports Park (WHOMP). The car scene is pretty good and at least you won't have to deal with stupid car restrictions as much. So start building and register that bitch for 5 years! Yes it's true, 5 year registrations. If you get too hot in the summer, travel north 2 hours to Flagstaff and enjoy the cool mountains and forest areas.

Traveling to LA from Phoenix is easy. It takes about 6-7 hours. You usually have to fill your tank up at Quartzite before you hit the first town of Blyth in Cali. The main reason is a .40 to .50 cent increase due to Cali's gay as gas prices. Plus there speed limit drops from 75 to 70.

Traveling to Las Vegas is easier and has better scenery. Same amount of time and you get to go through a nice, long mountain pass that has plenty of curves. It's gotten easier getting into Vegas because of the bridge they built to surpass the Hoover Dam. No more slowing down to 5 mph while crossing the damn.

There's actually quite a bit to do here in AZ. Hunting is good and plenty of lakes in the desert and woods. Snowboarding or skiing? Go to Flagstaff. Need some cheap houses recovering from foreclosure? Phoenix. Own guns or want to? AZ has some good gun laws and plenty of space to shoot in the desert. Need to find cars with little to no rust at all? AZ. Cheap landscaping or home improvements? Mexican labor. The heat really isn't that bad. It does snow here believe it or not. Maybe every other year and it goes for 20-30 mins and then melts in 10. If you have any questions, just PM me. hope this helps a little.
