May 1st came and went. This is the legacy?

Hope the headlights are helping out! Thanks for dropping in!

Blow it our your shorts.

Please, no more mean words, your amount of bad-ass is too much for me to handle and if you shall go on to be such a, really tough guy, I might start crying :(

[einhander]

This looks like fun

Blow it our your shorts.

Oh wow, didn't see this before.

I doubt I will be very available when you are heading through CA but if you want to let me know when you'll be in the bay area I can probably squeeze a beer or two into the ol' schedule.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Sounds like you are semi nearby, hit me up, I'm going away for a few days next week and I don't want to miss ya.

Road trip across the country, and you don't have any of Route 66 on your way?

For shame!

[Gangsta]

Holla when you're coming through Hermitage, TN. I have a few e30 buddies and some lady friends. We can buy you some brews!!

[lambo]

I'm heading back to Colorado on Friday. No idea if I'll be in the FoCo area soon, though.

[89AlpineM3]

Sweet,glad your on your way

[fronton]

nice progress, I like the rushmore pic. May I suggest you toss you roof rack in the trunk to get better MPG and cut down on a ton of wind noise? If so, I hereby suggest it.

[Ryan...]

No worries broseph, you'll just have to show up to a local meet now to make up for it!

[TurboJake]

Well, the trip has begun and I'm well on my way around the country. Still have minimal internet (just my phone). So here's some phone Pictures. A better update will come just as soon as I can, which is when I have internet without a data cap. Pay no attention to spelling mistakes.


Starting in calumet. Still snowy



Friend in Appleton decided to throw a mask on. Twas a fun night.


Then my phone skips ahead. Sorry, I didn't get to you in Madison Ryan... If it helps sex was involved.

But anyways, we'll get back to the times inbetween later when I can upload the DSLR pictures.




Corn palace


Entrance to the badlands


Parked in front of wall drug. No idea what is so fascinating about this place.


This is a legitimate "something isn't right. My steering isn't as sweet as is was before"



But it fixed itself *shrug*

Mount rushmore!




Sunset in Wyoming


Now resting in Fort Collins for a bit.



More to come!

If you are going to Seattle, like you said earlier, you have to pass through Portand, OR. If so, we can gather some of the local crew for lunch etc.

I will! I'll keep everyone in the loop. See the bottom of this comment.

This sounds like it's going to be an amazing trip. I wish I could offer you a spot in Detroit b/c it looks like you have a bit of a hole around there, but my parents aren't too keen on having strangers spend the night.

Actually, I have a couple places in the detroit area that I can stay at. No issues there. And as a personal thing, being 28, staying at a young'uns house with his parents is and would be kind of......... Strange... No offense to you whatsoever. Would be super awkward.

I can't offer a place to say for its not my place to offer, but I wish you safe travels. Awesome trip you have planned ahead of you and something I want to do someday, preferably while I'm still young.

Put your past behind you and keep on driving on. Document the trip. It is something you will forever remember. And after that many miles, your e30 will feel that much closer, and that much harder to part with. You say it may be her last hoorah, but I see it living on past this.

Safe travels, my friend.

Thanks for the wishes!

As for the E30, she's old. She has some pretty intense rust and the recent run in with the deer. I maintain her mechanically, but she's had a hard life. We'll see.





In other updates. Lukebox came in. Installed. Good sound with a spare tire? FTW.
Transmission and diff fluid changed. Redline FTW
Engine oil changed. VR1 FTW.
Roofrack installed. Just in case. Ya never know.

Classes are done. Just one final and one term paper holding me back. 5 days until launch!






Took a stroll to test out the stereo. I may hit up Miami, just to prove a point :D








I'll be starting a new thread to document the trip.
