On the road this morning, a positive note - a pothole so big and deep that I would look for it in the dark by water reflections, and so big and deep I think it generated its own weather like one of the Great Lakes, has finally been patched.
Two winners in the dark rain today - RSX with nothing, some kind of roller skate (maybe a Yaris) with parking lights.

Your next road trip might be watched - Orwell would be proud, three cheers for small government and the authoritarian melding of public and private sector.
But, even if it's only twice per decade, if I want to go 100 mph, I don't want to report it to my insurance company. (The Infiniti made that happen a lot more than usual..)

Good luck with that AZ visit in May.
I have a quite different point of view, based on most of 50 years of off-and-on experience with AZ weather. Phoenix (the "valley of the sun") can be, and usually is, above 100 deg F from 15 Apr to 15 Oct. Earliest was 26 Mar, as I recall. You'll have to wait until June or July to participate in the 115 - 122 degree weather.
Oh boy.
The braintrust sanded my street (hill), so it sounds like a gravel road when you drive on it. But go a block away, and it is still a black ice sheet with no treatment and no cares given. Someone important must commute on my street.
It never ceases to amuse me how a decade ago, the qualified experts who are in charge of infrastructure in this region would ignore any weather-related road events. But after mishandling of the 2008 snow event cost the Seattle mayor his job, they jump in and over-react (de-icer everywhere when it is 36F), or even better, react inconsistently.

I rode a motorcycle back in the late '60s until it looked like a losing proposition, especially in metro Phoenix. I quit and bought an MGB.
Riding a bicycle in heavy city traffic falls into the same category, but then I'm old and testosterone is but a fond memory.

Overnight trip on a section of the WABDR (Washington Backcountry Discovery Route). It had been raining a few days prior, so there were some pretty muddy sections. Another fun part was a slope called Baby Head Hill, apparently named for the rocks on trail that, you guessed it, were the size of baby heads. Morbid. Still, the Volvo got through; I was glad to have the slightly bigger tires and the skid plate. Well, and a group to go with. They would all stop and get out to see if I'd make it through whatever obstacle. Fortunately, I did.

On the far side of the road from my driveway, the berm is still about 4' high. And, with the warmer temps, it has compressed to a nice, solid mass of ice. So, I drove one side of my Q7 up the side of it (driver side on the road surface, passenger side on the berm) yesterday with my kids in the car. At first, they said nothing, so I just kept angling up the berm and climbing higher. once we were up about 2.5' on that side, which induced a pretty substantial tilt inside the cab, they start yelling at me, "Dad! What are you doing?! You're going to flip the car over!" Hahahha
Ah, making memories, even if they're ''crazy dad" memories....
I have a friend who bought a Cherokee Trailhawk last year. Still hasn't driven it off pavement.

Bluetec is 4Matic, but way too low for anything but an unpaved driveway.
Fun times.
