Been in phoenix for 17 years and im pretty much stuck here. The car scene is alive and well, drifting took a short hiatus due to local track but its back up and running monthly events.
Mexico(although everyone is afraid of it) is the closest beach, with warm water rocky point is about 3 hours away. Vegas is about 3.5 hours 4 tops if you drive really slow, the new freeway and bridge helps a ton.
If you have swapped vehicles the emission laws are easy to work with. You also have the option of registering your car as a collector vehicle and can bypass emissions entirely if you have a daily driver.
The summer is rough for us boosted cars, but if you have A/c and a good radiator you will be fine. Even the events in the summer are held in the evenings so it cools off some. Dont be afraid of the heat the winter makes it all worth it. We dont have as many great hills and phoenix is pretty flat; however there are a quite a few places to cruise to if you wanna get into the twisties. Ive lived in north Phoenix and the west valley since ive been here.
Hope it helps to aid in your decision.
