Talking Just moved to Tucson, AZ!

I just moved to Tucson yesterday from Ann Arbor, MI where I finished up my Master's degree in Electrical/Optical Engineering. I am starting my first job on Monday at Raytheon Missile Systems.

I drive a Stage 2 Turbocharged 2003 Lancer OZ Rally and it should be arriving off the car carrier by the end of the month

I am already loving Tucson and can't wait to meet you all and see the tuner scene here. I came from a great EVO/Lancer club in Michigan (www.mievo.net) and am told that it's great here as well.

I'm not sure where I'll be living yet as my wife and I will start looking for a house. I'll be in some temporary corporate housing in Northwest Tucson (N Silverbell Rd) till July when we'll hopefully be moving into a new home.

Again, I'm excited to be here and to finally have a Sonic again!

Cheers!

- Zack

How is it out there (the company)? Big? What organization are you with? I was thinking of moving out to AZ. Let me know.

Wow, small world! I'm not sure how big it really is since I actually don't start till tomorrow However, I think there are about 18,000 employees here between all 4 Raytheon sites. I work in the EO Center - at least for now. So far I love Tucson. Much better than cold Michigan with their salty roads and snow in April!

Welcome to Tucson!

I'm from Ohio, so I can relate to your Michigan background. You will grow to love Tucson for sure. In my opinion, it takes a full season to see all the beauty of the desert and learn to really appreciate it. Enjoy the expierence.

Tuner cars meet up on Wednesday nights about 8:30pm at the Sonic on Broadway and Plummer.

Watch out for this EVO!

Jim

I'm loving it now. And I don't really notice the heat either. Dry heat FTW!
