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

[Ryan...]

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

[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.

[89AlpineM3]

Sweet,glad your on your way

[lambo]

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

[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!!

[z31maniac]

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

For shame!

[Xat1cZ]

This looks like fun

[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.

[Wh33lhop]

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.

[einhander]

This looks like fun

Blow it our your shorts.

[Xat1cZ]

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 :(

[GunMetalGrey]

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

[TurboJake]

Real update time!

May 1st. Leaving Houghton Mi. The Lift bridge over the Portage Canal connecting the Keweenaw and the Mainland.

Her name is Mary. She was the first person to Draw on my Hood. On my way out of town I stopped at a place called Ron's Body Shop, they heard what I was doing, and pulled my core support out just enough to get my headlights to line up and not have the drivers side point straight to the sky. Free of cost. Amazing people.

She felt it necessary to fill in the blue on the Roundel. :)

Driving down 41, I saw this painted on the rocks. Figured it was a great time to take a picture of someone else's bucket list, while completing something of my own. Dre, wherever you are. :up:

Upper Michigan has trees. Lots of trees.

BBBUUUTTTT! With the season lasting so long. Most of them are sticks

Leaving Eau Claire Wi, Got stuck waiting for a Marathon to be completed. Just snapped a picture. Wish I had my camera ready when the Police officer signed my hood while waiting in the middle of the road. That was neat.

Longest train I've ever seen. Still in MN.

IMG_8380 by JayDLundin, on Flickr

There's three things I'm taking away from driving the MN. Lot's of farms. Lots of painted wall muriel's, and more (actually) dead possums than you can imagine.


Then we go through SD.

Wall Drug, Wall SD. Seriously, this place is strange. There's signs EVERYWHERE in SD to go to this place. Decided to see what the hell was up with it. Did not understand. Nonetheless, I sent a postcard from the Wall post office

Helicopter tours right off the road.

Driving on 16, simply amazing road to drive on. Lots of switchbacks, up and down, and lots of scenery. If you had a ball joint fail on this road, you'd die. Easy.

More updates to come!

(Also, that really low hanging exhaust is now fixed. A very nice SD State trooper had a concern about it, pulled me over,and gave me a courtesy warning. First thing I fixed when I got to Fort Collins.)

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

Indeed they are. But I'm getting flashed by people EVERYWHERE!

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.

Will do. I'm leaving Fort Collins on Tuesday or Wed if that helps.

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

For shame!

Gotta save stuff for the future ;)

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.

I might. I did find it to be a great place to grab and hold on to while driving though. The lack of an armrest is certainly popping it's head.

[shameson]

If there's a chance you'll be heading into the PNW, I know me and some of the Portland guys would definitely want to get together

[slammin.e28]

I am loving this thread! Keep 'em coming!
