Guest Incandenza Report post Posted December 20, 2002 The gas will be a bitch, obviously. Longest road trip I ever took was from Jacksonville, Florida to Providence, Rhode Island. We (two friends and myself) were fortunate enough to have free places to stay along the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JangoFett4Hire Report post Posted December 20, 2002 What did you guys do for food? Stock up in the cooler or live off of fast food? How many hours did you average driving per day? Did you spread it out, or drive as much as you could to get there ASAP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HBK16 Report post Posted December 20, 2002 I am suppose to go on a road trip nest summer to. From Phoenix to Oregon. It should be fun though. Quite expensive but we have money saved up for it already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted December 20, 2002 When it came to food, we ate very cheaply. In addition to being fortunate enough to have free places to stay, we encountered people who willingly fed us for free. One friend's cousin in Springfield treated us to dinner at Outback Steakhouse; the other friend's uncle took us to a Mexican restaurant (the name of which escapes me) as we were passing through Baltimore. As for drive time, we did very little fooling around. Sometimes, curiousity got the better of us, and we spent a couple of hours in Philadelphia. Usually we were all business.

Guest razazteca Report post Posted December 21, 2002 I went from Texas to Florida in roughly 14 hours straight for Spring Break. From San Angelo to Panama City is a damn long ride, but it was well worth it! Especially seeing Flair vs Mysterio live. About $60 in gas but of course I have a small compact car, Toyoda has always been go to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted December 22, 2002 I've gone (not driven) from Nova Scotia to Alberta. That's almost the length of Canada. It took us about 4 days, if I recall correctly. But since we had about 4 drivers, they'd rotate. They'd take turns sleeping, so we only had to stop overnight once. Fuck, sleeping in the back of a crowded van sucks balls... We packed a bunch of food, and would just pull over to some rest spot, bust out the cooler and eat. No fast food for us, bay-bee! I suppose if you wanna be REALLY cheap about places to stay, depending on how many people you have, you could always pull over and sleep in the car, if you don't have enough drivers to go all night. Can't imagine it'd be too pleasent though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
