You've got to love a proper road trip like that - and of course the blue tape - images/smilies/lol.gif. Great read.

You should try one - it's a great experience. Obviously it depends on the company & the route, how many stops you make etc, but it's a great way to see a region.

^The only road trip (I only consider road trips where you have to sleep overnight, a 3 hour or so drive does not count as one to me) I've done was pretty boring, pure driving (Actual I was just passengering the whole time)... Perth to Melbourne in 3 Days I think, somehow my cousin thought it would be a good idea to drive, didn't stop for anything except food. Plus Even though we we're in a Forester STi, we didn't speed much, didn't want to break down in the middle of nowhere images/smilies/lol.gif
But I still wouldn't mind if there was a convoy of cars rather than one images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Very funny and interesting trip.
Maybe not as fabuleous as the 2003 gumball route but still very nice.

Some places were shocking, smashed and empty, some rural towns also look very dull, not an interesting places to live.

The cops are very suspicious and unpleasant, do something not appropriate and you'll land on your face to the ground, god.

I like the car they used. images/smilies/smile.gif

I forgot to ask... in the US, how is the license plate system? I mean, that guy just put a "TAPE" written on the back, and some wood in the front. Didn't really get this...

He had temporary registration on his car so he wouldn't get pulled over.

The paper plate (temporary one) was "taped" on rear window.

Funny pictures... I like the truck that reads Volkswagen on the back.

I might have missed this, but doesn't the tape ruin the paintwork?
