Sounds cool.

I'd start a new thread in the pick-up section and post your route. Everyone should be able to chime in and give you contact info in case you need help.

Got anybody going with you?

So is it too early to expect an update? Man I'm envious of these adventures.

6772king · 06-30-2009, 09:38 AM

nope not too early ,, I made it home about 7:00 am monday morning,,, I didnt have to do a thing to it witch really suprized me (I was worried for a little bit,, LIKE THE ENTIRE WAY HOME). I have a whole new respect for gearheads in the southwest,, I dont know how u can function it that kind of heat!! I think the best part of the trip was seeing all the route 66 stuff on the way home ,, I wish my boy could have went (he is 3 yrs old and in love with the cars movie) he would have love to have seen new mexico it almost made u feel like you were in radiator springs LOL!!

VanceH · 06-30-2009, 10:13 AM
