I thought driving from Atlanta to Los Angeles was a road trip. Seems I was mistaken.

we just got the net running at our new house...the trip ended up at 11,000 miles. The Credit union sut down my credit car 3/4s the way through the trip, so me and the wife pulled money out of out butts for the rest and bairly made it pulling out a 400 mile tank in the last miles, was pretty crazy, ill have pics up later.

I drove from fairbanks AK to miami fl, and back.. I made it back in 5 days... 20 hrs a day on the road, I would just pull over when I was seeing double, pass out, wake up an hour later and continue, etc.,. Sleeping in a packed car SUCKS!! I feel you on this one..

Awesome trip, awesome pix. If you do this again, you should consider blogging for one of the auto mags -- bet they'd buy your story.

to the lights?? my brush guard, i took it off.

I got a new camera, and while on the road we decided to test it, so while driving next to a 18 wheeler we zoomed in on the side mirrors, same for the rims.
