You folks in AZ are spoiled (cars not gov't)
...for cars! I was is Tucson over the weekend, and I'm STILL wiping the drool from my chin. w123s, 114s, 70's BMW's, plus countless others, all remarkably rust-free, running, and so new-looking. I'm really starting to not like Ohio anymore...

best thing arizona has going for em is the dry heat. it wont rust out a car like it will here

Flagstaff has some rust issues due to the snowy winters, but they haven't used salt in many years so that's improved things greatly. |

Yes, we are spoiled. ;)

Arizona cars have diferent problems unlike here where rust is an issue, they have lots and lots of sun and heat damage issues, as collapsed headliners cracked or even burned plastic that just crumbles, dried up rubber and moldings. cracked dashboards, crumbling steering wheels, damaged paint etc.

Reminds me of the mystery that Toyota engineers were puzzled with when they frist started selling cars here in the US in the 60's. Dealers were reporting back to Japan that the cars were having recurring problems with winter starting. This puzzled the engineers since they have similar winter weather and there was no issues with the domestic cars in Japan. So, a team of engineers went to the US to investigate.
They were shocked to discover that Americans did not uniformly park their prized posessions in covered garages, out of the elements. More weatherproofing and insulation cured the problem. |
I really do not get the issue people have with emission testing. Personally I think it should be nation wide with no exemptions. I am tired of driving behind smoking cars who got their plates out side of the metro-plex area to by pass the emission test. I keep my car in good working order and it passes the em emissions each year. If it keeps the air cleaner, I'm all for it.

I left the rust-belt almost 38 years ago - best move I could have ever made! |

I think Prescott, the territorial capitol, would likely have the most moderate, rust belt free and not sun baked weather conducive for keeping cars nice.
I almost relocated there 20 years ago. Not as cold and snowy as Flag, but not the murderous heat seen in Phoenix and Tucson. Anyone else think it'd make a nice AZ. choice? And, what about Pinetop? A lot of Arizona natives take summer vacation there.... |
about 30 yrs ago my dad was talking of moving out to prescott.
