My trip to Phoenix , May 2008 (Photos)

Trip was a great time. Went down, hung with Kustom Play (Steve, for all the OG’s around), the local MR2OC Phoenix/Glendale group, and the guys at Scottsdale Lotus, as well as some other Lotus friends. Weather was 90 degrees everyday, but not humid. All in all, a nice city, but nowhere I could ever live year round. At least they got bubble tea though. Anyways, here’s some shots.

wow…the shot of the ferrari’s/porsche’s/benzito’s reminds me of gone in 60 seconds lol…good shit!

Nice run of photos there. Mmmm bubble tea.

Yeah, there were some serious cars there. But as per usual, I was totally fixated on the Lotus cars, especially the Exige Cup cars, haha. I actually walked by a McLaren SLR and that DTM CLK Mercedes without even noticing them. Then on a later pass, I was casually like, “Oh, an SLR.”

Adam, I had to post some photos to compete with what you’re always putting up, haha.

Did you drive or fly?

Boba drink, lmao.

Nice joe.

You drove down there? What was the occasion? Or was it to hang out with Lotus people.

Nice. I used to know a few folks who worked there. I believe they moved since then though. I tried to stop by when I was interviewing at the Lambo dealer on Raintree Blvd, I don’t remember finding it.

It’s Bubble Tea!!!

Nice pics by the way…

Great pics Joe!

Thanks all. I flew down there. It was merely just a vacation visit to see Steve, but I figured I’d make the most of it by getting the Lotus/MR2 guys involved. I’m sure I’ll make my way out there again.

nice pic.there … i have not had a good bubble tea in a long while…

The BT there was good, but it didn’t hold a candle to the old BTC, Bao, or even MBT. At least in my opinion…

couldnt live here(phoenix) year round…are you nuts? I didnt have to scrap my windows once all year.

It’s just too much hot, all the time. Honestly, winter alone aside, I couldn’t think of a better place to be than Buffalo, all year round. I like summer, winter, and fall here very much. However, I really do hate winter. SF, Ca. has amazing weather, and while it too is constantly in the 60-70 range most of the year, I’d take that over 90-100 every day. That’s just me…

But Phx. is super cool, no doubt, and it looked like it’s growing FAST.
