August 24, 2011Arizona Road Trip

Arizona Road TripArizona, Arizona, Arizona. What do you think of when you think of Arizona? My grand-mother lived there for a decade, so I think of urban sprawl and cacti. I guess most people think of the Grand Canyon. And the OK Corral. In any case, my girlfriend and some friends and I we're going to pick up some new things to think about. We were going on an Arizonan roadtrip. My girlfriend is a shutterbug, so why don't you check out the sweet pics.

The idea was complicated, not simple. My grand-mother used to live in Phoenix. She moved recently to be closer to the family. She still has her home and car there. The car however, was not running properly. My Dad brought it to the mechanic's and was given an estimate of 5 000$! That's a lot of money. Especially for a 20 year-old car.

As luck would have it, my cousin Frank dropped by one day and we started discussing the problem. I was eager to get his feedback as he's already taken a Toyota 4Runner apart, only to rebuild it. This, in my book, makes him a car expert.

He said we were getting taken advantage of and that everything that had to be done was rather easy and the parts plentiful on the internet. With my family, we concocted a plan to go over there with him and have him do the repairs. Yes, it would cost less to fly him over 3500 km than to go to the garage.
