So I drove my Type R across the U.S.
I used to live in Southern California (currently living in South Carolina), and I decided to drive out there a few weeks ago. I went through the bottom half of the country on the way there, and then took the north route on the way back. The trip was amazing, although lots of driving. It took me 12 days, 20 states, and about 6500 miles.
Anyway, here's a sampling of some of the trip:
A pier in Mississippi
Driving through Texas
At Montezuma's Castle
Grand Canyon
Filling up
The Hoover Dam
In Las Vegas
Downtown Los Angeles
Just by chance, local L.A. resident Sean saw me driving and flagged me down
How can you not like Disneyland?
Yosemite
Golden Gate Bridge
After stopping by Yosemite, I went to Mount Rushmore
After Rushmore, I decided to head home

Good stuff... How did you keep heR safe during the 20 days? Did you stay at hotels/motels or did you camp?

Nice pics. What made you move to South Carolina. I live in Spartanburg. About 15 mins away from Greenville. Welcome to the Carolinas

Oh, and the camera I used was a Canon 20D, and I was using a couple different lenses.

Re: So I drove my Type R across the U.S.
I was going to do a similar thread to this in the next month, but now it seems pointless.
I am going on a semi-cross country trip leaving in 11 days from Ohio to somewhere roughly 1800 miles away. I will be driving my 98 with 145K on it.
