anyone who's done it, did you want more space or the ability to smoke m3's and corvettes for sport and take some of the southwestern mountain passes remembering just what a perfect use of your clutch feels like again?



depends on whether you're just looking to make time, point A to B, or if you're going to stop for pictures. if we need to go southern to northern cal fast we'll take the SRT8 and freeways - which i'm lucky to see 250 miles on a tank - otherwise its SUV + scenic route and frequent stops because she "thinks she just saw a deer."

i say if you're going to be stuck in a tube for 6 hours at a stretch then make it a widebody and bring the seats from 1st class. there's going to be long stretches of nothing on that kind of trip, where everyone's talked out and it's just unrelenting boredom, waves of it, powerful waves of boredom like the boredom you get from twitter and then you'll want to get twisted. you'll start to believe the first five-ten minutes of Fear and Loathing needs another look. truth is you never want to get The Fear out on the open road. finding quality emergency care in the land of chain link fences and doberman pinschers can be a real bear, a bad trip can turn terror when the nurses look like kid rock.

really your choices are the cherokee or split a rental if you don't want to put mileage on. the cayman is out because those are some cramped quarters for a long-distance. after about a day it will feel like you're both in the same sleeping bag and not for any legit avalanche survival type scenario. someone falls asleep, a hand falls into the wrong lap, next thing you know you're in a decontamination shower in one of those gay rehab jesus camps with electro shock and b&w films of mickey mouse walking into a rainbow bar and coming back out ten feet tall with giant teeth and the army is called in to take him down.
