yeah talk about spur of the moment!!

if yer doing this b/c of yer problems, you might wanna think of someplace a lil closer than the other side of the country

or take a cruise to the islands or fly there for a few days...that'll put things into perspective...i usually live by a few cardinal rules...

1, life is too short to deal with petty sh!t
2, bro's before hoe's
3, the future's not set...there's no fate but what we make for ourselves
4, life's uncertain, eat dessert first :D:D

:sadwave:

Lovin' the spur or the moment, I always wanted to do that, but to Florida. Have fun bro, I'll see you in exactly one week then. ;)

FYI: that's a 6,000+ mile round trip, there goes that re-sell value! :gap:

I meant I'm gonna be there in a week. Actually when my dad did it back in the day he said it took almost a week to get there from NY. Long story short, road trip with 2 guys, got there then ran outta money, car got wrecked, 2 guys wussed out called parents to bail em, and my dad worked as a mechanic for 2 months to pay his way back home. Priceless.

Let me tell you. New York is one long ass state. I made it all the way to the end of New York, got a hotel room, and decided I would sleep for a few hours. I slept, but when I woke up I was bored as hell, and I just kept thinking about how long the drive is going to be. My desire was completely gone. Going alone is not the way to go at all. It's to damn far to drive by yourself. So I headed back, and got home around 4am. I went just about 500 miles. I think Florida would of been a smarter plan. One day down isn't that bad of a drive.
I started thinking, I called my buddy who has done this trip. He said California is a 3 day trip non stop. It's to damn far to do alone.
I took the mass pike all the way through Mass, and through New York. I was just shy of Buffalo.

I did a nonstop drive to Chicago once. Spur of the moment thing. Took 16 hrs nonstop to get there. Driving back was crazy. I was doozing off and almost ended up in a guard rail. Man, I was dumb back in my college days.

xtccrush
03-25-2004, 03:16 PM
Yeah, even after I had slept I started to doze off in my car on the way back. I was almost on 146 when a mass staty pulled up next to me and gave me the light. Damn that's a bright light.

speedeeGTS
03-25-2004, 03:19 PM
what did a statey do? you got pulled over?

xtccrush
03-25-2004, 03:24 PM
Nope. I had gone by him before at about 80mph. He didn't do anything. But a short while later I noticed a car raceing up on my ass. I was in the high speed lane. What other lane would I be in.
Yeah so he pulled up on the right side of my car. And gave me the spot light. He sat with me for a bit with that light on and then zoomed away. That was after I slowed down to 65. I then pulled into the next lane, and he was on his merry way.

03-25-2004, 03:38 PM
i love when they are nice like that. that same thing happened to me but i was going over 80. he caught up to me about 2 miles down the highway and pointed at his speedo, so i dropped to 65 and then he took off

03-25-2004, 04:33 PM
Are you sure he was pointing at his speedo. Maybe he was pointing at my croch. :gay:

:werd: I just asked my dad and he said he did it in 3 days, non stop. Makes sense because I got to Florida in less than 20 hours and it's a 1500+ mile trip.

I still cant believe you attempted to do this on your own! awesome! :thumbup:

I actually went and booked a vacation to Florida once and offered the other ticket for free to my friends. And they all used the excuse, I can't get the time off, I have to work. It was a free trip! I figured one of them would of went. But it worked out even better in the end. I was able to get a girl "friend" to go. And it was sex sex sex once we got there. Best thing is, we still stayed friends, when we got back. It was just friends, "now with benefits".

Matt: Gumball 3000? what the hell is that? :wtf:

There's also that new movie Hidalgo, but that's on actual horses, not horsepower. :D

Im not sure about that movie hidalgo. It kinda reminds me of the mummy. I just watched dawn of the dead. That movie wont win any awards for effects. haha. It did have a few funny parts though. I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Cannonball Run- European road rally (and also a video with Burt Reynolds)

Gumball 3000- "The Gumball Rally, 150 supercars, 3000 miles.... in just 6 days" this is across the US. www.gumball3000.com

watch Mischief 3000. guys from DTMpower.net made a documentary on this from NYC to Hollywood. and then Mischief Destroy is from LA to Miami. i love those dvd's!

and now they are releasing Mischief Invasion. In this vid they are in Europe for the Cannonball Europe Run. It started in the UK and went on through Spain, France, Africa and back to the UK in only 5 days. pretty sick if you ask me

i should be a Teckademics spokesperson :D
