It is an interesting culture, AZ, horses and cars are a big things. I generally do not ship cars down from Canada when I am here so the sports cars are all stowed. There are all sort of events here so might just have to bring something down.

You're welcome! This is a very car-centric area and there are several cars and coffee events every Saturday which often have very exotic stuff. and are free. I go to a couple every year. The Porsche even was pure happenstance but I signed up for their calendar and will probably do a couple of events.

Been a long time since I have seen a 300SL just out for a drive though.
