Hey guys, hows it going?

I'll be attending UTI for 20 months at the Avondale campus. I can't wait, it'll be a blast. My dads side of the family lives out there. Tempe, Scottsdale, Pheonix, Chandler, Avondale. I love it out there. Never been during the summer though! :oogle:

I'm driving the SHO with my dad across country, I need a car out there. I hope I can make it without breaking down! :corn:

Now you can see some real rustbelt action. I want to see how good the condition of your cars are. Can't wait to check them out!

Joe

There is a UTI in Exton PA, it would have been a couple thousand miles closer. Do the different campus' offer different courses of study?

Yes, I know that, haha. I have relatives out here in Arizona so it would feel closer to home since I know a lot of family out here. I've been out about 5 times. Right now I am in Kansas City. Hope to be there in 2 or 3 days.

as a former rust belt guy, I look forward to seeing if I can flick a cat thru the rust holes in your sho.

Well the body is in great condition. The paint is excellent. Except now there are tons of bugs on the front bumper ;) . The intererior is in very good condition, but mechanically it needs a lot more work. I look forward to working on my sho with you all and your shos. It should be fun. :thumb:

I'm Here

Well I made it into town! I really need to get my AC working! :doh:
This next week I will be doing lots of errands like getting in contact with the school, buying things, getting an apartment, getting a job, etc. so I will be very busy.

When is the next meet? I will be very busy, but I will try to make time so I can meet up with everyone. :)

Well, the next meet is in Flaggstaff, at the Off Highway Vehicle Park. It's just NE of Flagg on Highway 89. The entrance to the Park is Forrest Road 776. Take that to FR 777 and turn right, go down that road for a 1/2 mile or so and look for the big ToyBox on the right with The Other Woman parked out front.

Welcome to AZ.

Ok, what he said is for those who have been there once or a dozen times. I live in Flag, and had my doubts about getting there my first time. You are form somewhere's else, so here ya go:

Forest Road = Hey, is this a road or am I totally lost in a Deliverance movie?

If you are interested in attending, drop me an email or pm, I can steer you in well. You will take 17 north out of phoenix....it dead ends into the city of flagstaff about (yup we are at the end of the highway). Exit I-17 at I-40 East....take I-40 about 5 miles to Country club road (it will actually have 89A signs at that exit). Turn Left at the light at the top of the freeway ramp and go down to the 89A ramp on the right.....it will merge onto 89A near the FLagstaff mall. Forest Road is a dirt road outside of town (a few miles down the road). YOu will see the brown sign on the right that says ORV area. Yea turn down that nasty dirt road and you are about 3 miles from Where Tom sets up. ....FR 776 goes to FR 777 which is a right angle right turn. Go down FR 777 less than 1/2 mile or so and you will see all kinds of wild Stuff......Tom and company will be on the right hand side of the road about 50 yards off the road looking all cool and stuff.

Dont worry, your SHO will make it back there, just drive slow. I am Eibached and Tokico'ed and I do just fine. A POS Focus SVT though, will not......kidding Eric, you will do just fine....or you can be a sissy and call Tom and we will come get you from the kiddie pool.

Mikey,

You take all the fun out of welcoming new members to their first meet. :laugh_ti: Half the fun of driving in Arizona is not knowing where the heck you are and how the **** you're going to get back!

Good to know a lowered SHO will make it down the road...although that makes me wonder what this road will look like. Hopefully I'll be able to find the road.

Welcome to the Valley Joe, I have a buddy I work with who just graduated the main part of UTI school and if you want I can put you in touch with him once you get settled. I know he will want to see your SHO and he said during the hot rod module the Yamaha engine and the SHO were used as the test bed and he was lovin' every minute of it. He has moved into the Ford Sponsored Tech class but he is a firm lover of the exotics. Well thats enough from me This Virg (PhatSHO)....Still runnin' WooHoo!!! Hope to meet ya soon. Later,

Virg
