As far as cruises...check here:

Phoenix area cruises

These occur every Saturday night...monsoons permitting of course!

Ed M, Az is great. Alot of hot rods, and of course BJ auction in Jan. Good luck. The Pavillions in the winter is wild.
Bruce, when my car gets done I will look ya up and come over to the Pavillions and maybe have a brew.

Stuart...the beer is my treat! Do me a favor and bring that Steve Sandlin guy!

Are you going to SCR8 with Steve? I'll buy you guys beers there, too. Now that I think of it...I'm going to have to make an excel spreadsheet to keep track of all the people I that I owe beers!

This may cost me a bit more than expected! J/K...

Bruce, I took a rain check for the trip with Steve, I will be in N.C. checking on my car. Steve S. is a great guy. SCR sounds like great fun, enjoy. I will call you when I come over to Scottsdale.

There are lots of nice places around the phoenix area with an acre or so but there is no city these days that will let you do whatever you want as far as building "outbuildings". I have built in phoenix, glendale, scottsdale, tempe (where I live now), and even chino valley outside of prescott and they all have a ton of red tape to get around now. I couldn't get a detached garage approved in tempe and finally had to attach it with a carport to the house for them to let me build what I wanted and even then I had to go to the city council for approval and it took 10 months, for a simple garage that is nuts.. For a place like you describe it comes down to finding it available and in your price range. as bruce said, west valley is cheaper if you want to stay close in to the city otherwise Tonopah to the west, maricopa to the south, apache junction/florence to the east, new river area to the north are still reasonable for land big enough to have a nice detached garage.

Good luck!

Are you kidding...Lake Michigan water..I'd rather drink the water in Ensenada! (It's piped in from San Diego anyways!)
