ok so I felt sorry for all the east coasters who made the trip out for the expo... so as a token of my grattitude for your efforts i too am embarking on a trip of my own...though mine is slightly less planned:

I got a call from the honda dealer today at 3pm pst, telling me that my car was all ready for me to get (finally) between then and this post, I've gotten my one way plane ticket to cleveland, insurance for the car, some maps, and a fellow crazy fool to join me. i'll be leaving akron w/ the new car on sat. morning and heading to detroit where I'll meet up w/ my foolish counterpart, and make the non stop drive to cali. Wish me luck...(any akron peeps want to meet up and say HI i'll be at park acura off of arlington in akron on sat morning from 9m to about 1030am..IM me.

fais- who goes to get ready for his crazy s2k journey.

PS special thanks to Zygspeed for being there for me when I needed.

have fun....let me know if you ever need another crazy fool/co-pilot...i love road trips..

 

Easy way to break in the new car

kitkatr-always see's the glass as half full

 

good way to look at things!! i hate it when my glass of beer is half full though.

 

wow.

ive done NJ-Iowa straight shot, 15 hours for 1000 miles, and i thought that was a lot.

good luck

Tom

 

2002 expo is 17 hrs. for me, so i'll get to feel how driving that long is. can't wait.

 

SpeedPak - it's not that bad of a drive. I did FL to WA in the summer. It was fun! The key is to take the scenic route.

 

hrm three f00z stuffed into a s2000 - jajaja...

yoshi - who thinks that'd be a pretty crampped long 455 drive

 

No problem Fais, ... my boss at work won't even know what foolishness I/we had planned.

Have a good and safe trip!
I'll have to come out in March or April to test drive the vehicles (S2K and the OTC hybrid).

Yoshi -- that third fool, would would probably be ... out of luck!

P.S. its not a "road trip from hell", it's one of those "adventures of a lifetime" ... hehehehehe

Fais, don't forget to report in when you're back in LA.

 

I did about that same trip, only I took the southern route from Pittsburgh. Hmm, good luck on your trip and drive carefully.

 

Well...

Started at 840pm EST on Sat. in Detroit (after taking it from Cleveland to detroit) 34 hours later and 2500 miles, We're all back in SoCal!

I'll post some pics after I recover for a few hours

Glad you made it.

 

welcome back to SoCal fais

yoshi - who wonders if speedpak got any tix - hrm/ness....

 

hahahaha -- (sorry)
replace "sleeping" with _______ and then you've performed an "acrobatic feat"!
Oops, did I say that out loud?

Congratulations, 34 hrs ... I could have been back on the East coast by now!

 

Tickets= 0
accidents=0
'interesting moments'=2

Fais- who thinks that Okla. City needs to recommend kidney belts for stiffly sprung cars!!!!

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sweet.

I'm thinking about taking a journey down to Canberra, or even Melbourne (Australia). A road trip would most CERTAINLY make running in the car alot easier

And the ROADS in Canberra, i've heard are GREAT

 

Glad your back safe
Know wake you and post some pics

 

Good deal, seems like you made good time. Did you take the southern route?

 

yea southern route. Basically 55s-44s-40w-15s to home
