Nice!!

Day 1 it looks like we go right by MassiveSpeed, we should see if we can stop buy there on our way and see if they'll hook us up with some deals...

Or on the way back maybe?

No they don't lol
thats why I figure we are gonna leave the stops and home base at like 2-3 in the morning every day and get into a hotel about 8-10 at night. Sleep is very important. We can party when we get settled in at the final location.

Planning is gonna be needed for every detail. Detours and pit stops are a must for problems on the road. I checked and there is a Shell pretty much everywhere down there so Ill be good with my 91 No ethanol fuel but others may have to suck it up lol.

Give your head a shake John. 4 hours sleep a day, that's just asking somebody to drive off the road or into the back of a semi. You may want to consider longer breaks or shorter hauls between stops.

Changed it up for a much easier toll on the body and mind. Added gas stations and local food stops. Gas is by 400-500KM Fill up intervals.

So i have it set to anyone that logs into google they can add or change things on the map. Please don't destroy it just add check marks or places that ppl are coming from or places you would like to go and place you name next to the POI.

I'm a maybe (and the only lamer that wrote on the wall).

So long as the body work is done and the car is repainted / respectable, I'm going.
