"Here in Northern California, it's sunny most of the time ..." Sure, except when it's foggy. I last time I flew into San Jose we almost got diverted to Oakland because the fog was so bad in San Jose. No fog here in NM. |

You need a bigger gas tank to get around that state. Gary are you near Albuquerque? fowler3 |

No, I'm not near it, I'm in it. |

Mazda6s: Do you know of any good scenic drives (preferably with some nice curves) in the Albuquerque area? We're going to be taking the 6 on a road trip in Arizona and New Mexico some time this summer, and we're planning to hit Albuquerque and Santa Fe for a couple of days. My wife and I have never been there before, so we're looking forward to it. We wanted to visit all these places in Arizona and New Mexico that we haven't been to since moving to Tucson a few years ago. Mike |

Santa Fe and Tularosa!! Beautiful country!! Winding roads, but high altitude. Mike, what's the area above Santa Fe, "Eagle" or "Fire" something? fowler3 Mazda Mania tonight, bring your questions and ask them LIVE. Many drivers there to answer them. 9:00PM EST, 8:00PM CST, 7:00PM MST, 6:00PM PST. Help us build a great chat room; the Subbies have one, are you going to let them beat us? |

You want curves, we got em. The Enchanted Circle: Taos to Questa to Eagle Nest to Taos. This is fairly curvy and hilly. Stop for lunch at the Apple Tree in Taos. Yummm! If you want a long, scenic, very curvy road from Santa Fe to Albuquerque, this is it: Santa Fe to Pojoaque to Los Alamos to Jemez Springs to San Ysidro to Bernalillo to Albuquerque. You can take this route in the other direction (Albuquerque to Santa Fe) as well. Sandia Peak: If you're in Albuquerque and have some time to burn, take the road to Sandia Peak (10678 feet). This is my ultimate car test ride. Yee-haa! Head East from Albuquerque on I40, turn North on highway 14. Watch for signs to Sandia Peak or Sandia Ski Area (I forget what it says). Going up will be mostly 2nd gear, and don't overheat the brakes coming back down! Both of the roads to the Santa Fe and Taos Ski Areas are good drives too. |

| You're thinking of Eagle Nest and Angel Fire. | |

Excellent! Sounds like you have a couple of fun ones up there. Thanks for the info! Mike |

| Glad the staining issue is being taken care of. And the 'brand X' people can stop calling them "rust buckets". Besdies 'Brand X' has its own issues, too. | |

"Besdies 'Brand X' has its own issues, too." Sure, but they do offer a quick and painless cure for insomnia. |
