          If you guys have never shot before, go to an indoor range where you can rent and have someone show you the basics of safety and operation.

            Haha, well played. As a local I'll remind you to drink water.

            Since you have hit up the tourist hot spots I'd also suggest:

            Places/Events:

            - As Mazur said - Canyon Lake --- Tortilla Flats
            - Lake Pleasant
            - Phoenix Zoo
            - Ever been paintballing? There are a few fields/indoor places
            - Taliesin West (Frank Lloyd Wright's home, is now a school for architecture)
            - Depending on your musical taste, we have a few venues that are worth checking their schedule. For example, 311 is at a local casino's pool this Sunday
            - Tempe Improv and StandUp Live - owned by the same company now - nationally known comedians are there often
            - If you hike Camelback Mountain, bring lots of water, and don't be on the local news the next day

            Food:

            We have a good mix of different types of food, you must try some different things. Use yelp to make sure the place has good reviews, then dive in.

            - Like a few other states - eat In N' Out, at least once
            - Enjoy a sunset dinner/drink at Different Point of View (great restaurant with a great view)
            - Oregano's Pizza - family owned local chain, eat at the closest one, my fav local pizza (and I've tried a lot), get the cookie/ice cream dessert

            AzCentral has decent lists, old article but they have them for each weekend too:



            Another list: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractio...x_Arizona.html

                    Spent today hunting for a vehicle to ship back to MI. The blazing hot sun makes this simple task nearly impossible for me to do. My other hurdle was comunication. If I had taken Spanish instead of French I may have been successful today. I will try to visit forum member "Parsedout" tommorow to see his e30.

                        Oh really? :) I work tomorrow and the car is filthy...if you're willing to look past that and stop by after 5:30pm that's fine with me.

                            Wow, someone that doesn't call us all assholes over at .org!! Haha but I guess this is coming from a r3ver ;)

                            -Canyon lake, like a Mazur said. Be careful on t flats, many have lost their precious BMWs (and others) there

                            -Do you golf? Lots of nice courses with good summer rates

                            -"The Rim" or Mogollon Rim is gorgeous and a sweet view. It's about 1-2hrs away near Payson depending on driving speed and stops

                            - Jerome I have heard is cool, never been though

                            - like others have said, don't waste your time going South

                            -Nogales is fun to get your Mexico fix. Haven't been since I was younger though

                            -could always take a trip to Rocky Point Mexico as well. Not that far away

                            - Pavillions has a car show every Saturday. All kinds, mainly a show for the rodders but has plenty of local bmws there regularly

                            Drink plenty of water! Especially if you go hiking

                                Market is tough right now! Haven't been many good deals for sale lately. Keep an eye out though, I'm sure any one of us would check stuff out for ya
