For full features; Go to Your ultimate roadtrip
Alright, at the risk of having to actually do homework I came up with a
query: What would be your ultimate roadtrip? The only rules are that you
can't put your vehicle on a ferry or anything to transport it, and you must
complete the entire trip in the same vehicle. What you drive is more or
less beside the point unless you plan on mud bogging.
================================MY
PLAN===================================
Starting point: My house (Boston area)
Ending point: Rio de f*cking Janeiro
Overall plan: Fly by the seat of my pants while in the U.S.. Limited gas
stations in other countries would need a solid plan. However, while in the
U.S. I would stick to my usual roadtrip rules. One of them being that if
you don't have to be anywhere at a certain time and have a small reason to
drive 100+ miles out of the way, you have to. Local road trips include
going to Buffalo for Buffalo wings (not that far off of the course) to
going to Schenectedy in NY because it has name thats fun to say. On the
big road trip I'd stop for things like the world's largest ______ and
whatnot. Eating a grinder, hoagie and a sub would be a goal as well. I'd
also have to go to Valencia (Venezuela) to get some Valencia oranges. You
get the idea.
Is it likely to happen? Yes...but not for a long time.

I would like to tour all major cities in Europe, or go to Ibiza, its
supposed to be a huge party island.
Realistically, I would like to drive down to Virginia again, and just spend
1 week there driving to places sightseeing.

my dream roadtrip was on any different provinces. take note in just one
week on the road along with my friends off course. he..
mhaneil

I would love to tour Alaska, and Northern Canada(in the summer of course).
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind restoring my pony, and taking it for a
top down tour of every state and province in US and Canada (except Hawaii
of course). I would avoid as many major cities as possible, simply because
I hate cities. Nothing like cruising down winding country roads with the
top down. Hit up B+Bs for good home cooking...

D@MN IT that would be fun...

Starting in Charlotte, going to either to Alaska or the Yucatan Peninsula
or Cancun or somewhere in Mexico.
And plenty of stops along the way to see whatever stupid stuff there may be
to see.
Actually, Alaska would probably be alot better. Lots of mountains = A+

I was actually planning on driving to South Carolina this March break, but
a couple of things (need money, parents don't let me, etc) came up. Me and
a couple of friends might rent a car (a good sized sedan), during the
summer and go to South Carolina/Texas/Louisiana/Florida/etc, but we'd go
through Quebec, because the minimum drinking age is 18, and then Virginia
and the mountains there, because it's beautiful.

Me and my dad did that when I passed my test! Except we went the other way.
Very good fun :)

Why on earth would you want to come here? Just pass through?
jedimario
How about drivin. starting from all the way east of US like New Jersey and
travel all the way across the US to California and back and of course stop
for some siteseeing there and there. One big huge DSM cruise with over 30
cars. This would be my dream roadtrip. I think all DSMtuners would love
this cruise. but hell this trip would be expensive as sh*t. especially some
of us that have to use premium gas lol

I've been to SC before, and it was a nice place...Especially during the
summer at the beach, but the people are nice too.
chris_knows
You guys would need to have road shops on speed dial LOL i keed i keed
newyorker
Well Myrtle Beach is nice I guess, so is Charleston, but I'm on the other
side of the state, don't get that way much.
jedimario
Man you so beat me to that one. We would need some of those members riding
in flatbed tow trucks for us awd kids out there:laughing: You know eagle we
have those giant cruises in cali called meets. Pretty good amount of DSM's
make it out to the event and then we'd drive from one area to another and
then stop and barbecue. Check out the norcal thread for the last meet. But
yeah be sure to bring some tools and towtrucks:mrgreen:

If you're going all the way to Texas, just keep going to Mexico. I went in
the offseason and everything was crazy cheap, but even in the summer it's
probably still a good deal. Drinking age is 18 or less, you can rent
hotels, and it'll be more interesting than th U.S. Honestly, I wouldn't
even consider stopping in Texas for a trip if you're 18.
beaches>desert
girls>cows
good cheap beer>no beer
3/$1 tacos>just about everything
giant016
That never crossed my mind. If the thing happens, I'll make sure to go to
Mexico, but I'd have to visit Texas too.
chris_knows
Makes sense I guess, lol....I've never done it myself but I keep telling
myself I must one day! :thumbs:
Cliffy
Yeah it is well worth it. Just make sure the car has air con and plenty of
leg room!
2007DBR9
A/C is good at the right time of year here in the UK....Leg room is always
good but I'm only 5'7"(ish) so I'm not the tallest person in the
world...:laughing:
Cliffy
My ultimate roadtrip would be to go through the deep south in a 2003 BMW Z8
convertible. Through Georgia, Carolina's, Tennessee and Missouri. The
end.

Yea, Mexico everything is crazy cheap if you go into a place with a very
low economy of course you cannot go and get name brand stuff cheap like a
new microsoft computer as they still sell them the same price as they do in
the USA in the end but other stuff you can get good deals on.
Guru
I never knew Microsoft made computers...
dvdrose18
Anything can happen in Mexico.
jedimario
My ultimate road trip would be to travel the world by car. Even if that
meant sitting in the car as it was riding across the ferry to another
country. :-P
It just sounds like fun!
