Thanks to all the Tucson folks who made twisty road recommendations!

We ended up doing Mt. Lemon. I hadn't been up there since I was a kid more than 25 years ago, and I seem to recall it had been a lot of dirt roads back then.

What an awesome drive, and it's right in your backyard! I'm so jealous - it's waaaay better than South Mountain in Phoenix, especially being so close.

We may try to make it to the Chandler meet tonight if we get out of Tucson on time. You'll just have to excuse how dirty our baby is...

Armrest does not delete the cup holder.

I was curious about the actual condition of the roads up there. I do like 88 and all, but the loose gravel makes for paint chips which I don't like. Also, anyone have an idea of how patrolled this mountain is?

I have a lot of the parts off the car. Some people have requested certain items. I'm bringing them to tonight's meet. Bring cash and they could be yours today!

Man... My coworker went to lunch and backed into my car. She doesn't have insurance and the estimates came out to $2400. I just got my car last Monday.

I've never seen a bike cop up the 88 once in my life. The only time there are cops is when its a big weekend and they usually don't even bother with speeders, just looking for drunk drivers.

I'm with state farm. She is taking full responsibility so I might go with her paying the 1000 deductible since she can't do the 2400 right away. I got referred to brads deer valley collision but I have set anything in motion yet. I'm going to call my agent tomorrow. She had me go to one of her friends shops but it seems shady as hell and I'm not so sure if they will be able to replicate silver ignition paint correctly.

What the hell. That's nuts. I would be mad in that case. I try not to be mad at the chick, rather mad at the situation. I'm more bummed out than anything else. I just want it to get fixed so I can move on and enjoy it. I just wish if this was going to happen that it happened after a few years when it wasn't so... New.
