As the temperatures go up, make sure you keep your cameras handy. I used to live there we would see lots of GM test vehicles in the Mesa area.

I don't know I'm still scared from that damn song in the 80s. "look at all the zoners, surrounding me every day." Some radio station in LA did it as a spoof on "Rumors"

*KILLER74Z28* · 03-11-2008, 03:49 AM

I lived there for 11 years and never heard that once...

*GTAHVIT* · 03-11-2008, 06:37 AM

it's kind of a CA / AZ thing. You know how in AZ we complain about the snow birds. Same thing to Californians in the summer.

bouncertime · 03-11-2008, 12:39 PM

Then what should I call everyone from Arizona? I was raised thinking that everyone who lived in Arizona was a Zonie. Didn't realize that some of them don't like that term.

As for snow birds, they are a pain. My parents live in Yuma and they are everywhere right now.

*GTAHVIT* · 03-11-2008, 12:59 PM

You're probably right. It's not a big deal. I'm just wanking.

My only problem with the Snow birds is that they still drive like there's snow on the ground.... drives me nuts. you're in the middle of the desert....

I've lived here since 95-ish, never heard that term, but it doesn't upset me and I knew exactly what you were talking about, so I guess it's as good of a term as any other!
