Default My move from Houston T.X. to Vancouver B.C.

Well i recently moved from texas to vancouver and ended up settling on a nice trip to California then up the coast. One of my very good friends flew down from BC to join me, so 7 hours after his arrival we sent out.
The start in texas:

Quick and i mean QUICK stop at the alamo:

Out in the middle of nowhere texas, sweet shot of the car:

Made it out through el paso and found ourselves somewhere in between tuscon and phoenix

Few days later we were out in California. Took a days rest then set up the coast, on some of the most exhilarating roads i have ever seen

Yup must be in cali...keepin her boosting and in vtec feels great, until you get to the pump

6 puck clutch in a camed coupe full of crap really give you a beatin trying to drive on roads like this:

Finally made it through portland to seattle and up to van

Unfortunately we blew the headgasket like 4 hours into the trip but she held on and got us through the 4000km journey with nothing but a larger coolant bill. Had a great time, hopefully you all enjoy the pics!

Nope, Originally from houston. Just visited here a few years ago and decided it was where i needed to be. Took the car to a local shop and apparently the HG is blown and the head is warped . Never ending saga with these cars, eh? Guess you just gotta be thankful its only a car, at the end of the day park it and forget.
