Road Trip Pics...........
I just recently returned to San Diego from the NOPI show in Denver. I was also there to visit my relatives in the area. I took 1st place in the Honda street class. On the way back I took the scenic route via I-70 to Green River Utah, south to Lake Powell Utah, northern Arizona to the Grand Canyon, I-40 west to Barstow California, then I-15 to San Diego. This has ranked first of my many road trips.
My point is that built Hondas are not just for racing, show, or urban operation. They are also great for seeing this great land. The southwest is magnificent. The vast expanse of empty roads also enabled me to push the speedo WELL past 120 MPH in some spots.
Enjoy...............
Vail Pass Colorado 10,666 foot elevation
The Japanese Flyswatter
Glen Canyon, Utah
Near Lake Powell Utah
Southbound SH 261 Utah. This road was MOSTLY 65MPH till you come to the part where road slows to 15 MPH to descend down a 2,000 foot drop to the desert floor via an 8% grade gravel road with sharp 5 MPH switchbacks. Then the road continues at 65 MPH.
Northern Arizona US 163 West
The Grand Canyon Arizona

Very nice shots.
The crystal taillights really fit perfectly w/ your car.
On my car it's not as great a fit b/c of my car's color/shape it's in- but better than the oems which had a big hole in them.

Sweet pics man. I love the West...so beautiful. The Glenwood canyon from Glenwood Springs to Eagle county is so amazing. You probably just drove right past my podunk town. Next time, you'll have to stop by and shoot the shit.
