    Anyone interested is stepping out for a bit come Feb/Mar?

    It's easier to get good pricing if you have a group..

    This is one of the more difficult tours as far as I can tell... costs ~$1k/day all inclusive

        Too difficult for me, I’ve been to Ki once and learned how to jump, but I would need more practice.

          I emailed them, but they haven't gotten back to me. I'll give them a call after the holidays, but I'm leaning more towards just renting a dual sport/adventure touring bike and putt-putting around Arizona for a few days. Not as much fun, but ~1/4 the cost.

              Highway 60 East of Phoenix leads to some cool areas, I've done this drive twice now all the way to Albuquerque, NM.

                Definitely an option. Could take that out to 191.

                            Does automotive enthusiasm seem different to anyone else during the last year? I dont know if it’s just me, other hobbies, house projects, or what, but I think 2020 has been the year I have thought the least about cars since I was 6 years old.

                            All i’ve really been in the mood for is some Colonel Sanders cosplay and maybe a round of cribbage.

                              Home projects dominated for me too, lack of places to go/visit don’t help either.

                                I barely touched my cars this year and didn't auto-x at all (I signed up for 3 and had to cancel on all of them), though I did drive the e30 quite a bit. Buying a house and renovating almost the entire thing has been the main culprit for the lack of car things though, it's been all consuming...

                                  I can 100% say that I'm thinking about it more but that's because of work.  On a personal note I don't think I'm thinking about it less.  I did more home projects but it didn't result in me driving less.  I did my first auto-x, attended a track day and hit some cars and coffee events.  The season wasn't the same for sure but I don't think it was "less" for me.

                                    It was pretty different for me, the highlights of my summer are usually the Lake Mills cars and coffees and Wibimmers events, and obviously neither happened this year. I definitely didn’t drive as much as I normally do (the car was also off the road for a month, which didn’t help) but side hobbies took a fair amount of time away from car stuff. I did a ton of canoeing, hiking and biking this year just to get outside, I guess it just pushed the car stuff out of the way a bit.

                                    I’m thinking this summer will be a bit different, lots of new roads to explore with moving and all that.

                                      I’m thinking this summer will be a bit different, lots of new roads to explore with moving and all that.

                                      Capitol Drive between 124th and 126th is pretty exhilarating

                                          Bar looks great! I aspire to someday have automotive decor as cool as you do, I wondered if you still had your m60 engine table.
