Reunited! After being away for 10 weeks, it’s so good to see my Coupe again. I can’t really drive it until I visit the MVD on Monday. The insurance is reduced to very little coverage (comp and collision), and its “de-insured” with the state. But soon, though!

It’s been almost 3 weeks since I last drove it, and many more to go. I’m not eager to be back in the heat of Phoenix, but I sure do miss my Coupe!

I stopped and snapped this photo with my iPhone a couple of days ago while a dust storm (or haboob, if you’re the local news) was rolling through Phoenix. I used an app by Microsoft called Photosynth to make the panorama. I dig the way it turned out.

Road Trip — Phoenix, AZ to Las Vegas, NV | 2002 M Coupe | Laguna Seca Blue | Black
To celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary and my wife’s 30th birthday, we left the kids with our family and drove the Coupe to Las Vegas for a long weekend. I prepared for a variety of potential issues with the Coupe, but we were very fortunate to have none at all. The Coupe was an excellent road trip car, and very comfortable for the 5 hour drive. Not that I should be surprised as we bought my first M Coupe from Rowland Heights, CA and drove it home. The bulk of the drive to Las Vegas is a 2 lane highway through scenic desert with lots of opportunity to enjoy the drive. Friday on the way up to Vegas though, we were stuck behind a caravan of RVs that were poking along 5-10 under the speed limit. As soon as there was a passing lane open, we easily blasted past the slow traffic. We stopped for some quick photos in Nothing, AZ, mostly because of the irony of the name. We had a great trip, and a good warm up for our drive to Dorkfest in August!
