Default Road Trip... Miami -> New York...

Again.


I had to come down to Miami before I left for Canada, so that added 4 hours to my trip.


Oh well. I'll be leaving here at like 5ish this afternoon and probably going to stop in Baltimore... tomorrow at 3 or 4.


So who wants to take bets? I have summer tires with little tread and the East Coast is getting hammered with all sorts of crap.


Will my CV joint go?
Will I lose a tire?
Lose control?
Fall asleep while driving?
Make it safe in one piece.



Wish me luck, i'll post when I get to B'more!

my first bet is that you'll make it

my second bet is that you'll either slide off the road or get stuck

Its a smooth drive. Your best bet would be to drive at night so u could pass all the traffic around NY.

Drive safe :canada:

Made it


It was beautiful weather the entire way up. I left Miami at 5pm and got to Baltimore 1030am Good time I think. I even had to stop for like 20mins at a truck stop and change out a fuse at 130am with no flashlight or fuses :happysad:



I got to harass Jae while working, and called LT a bunch of times leaving rude messages h: I was bored. I wonder if he knew it was me :rick:




The real test will be heading North from Baltimore, cause they still have snowy/ icy conditions, and I dont think my tires are good enough. But we'll see!





Nap time now! h:
