Took the accord for a road trip from Northern California to Central Texas and back. This is how it returned.

This photo was after driving through New Mexico I think. Rain washed away evidence of what occurred that day.

The entire trip was just under 4,000 miles. Averaged 30mpg. We did the entire trip back in just over 30 hours, with me driving the entire way. it was intense.

I envisioned the entire car being covered with art works, but we stayed busy and the trip just wasn't long enough for that. It was 10 days total.

Honestly thought it would have "looked" like it just finished a 30 hour trip. Cars looks like its barely seen a 2 hour sprint up the coast.

It rained a few times out there, and quite heavily about two hours from home, so all of the battle scars were washed away. It was covered in bugs and dust for a long while though.

That makes sense. Still, I cant envision driving that long. Longest I did myself was 4 hours and my co pilot slept most of the way....not good.

Sounds like fun. I recently drove to long beach it was fun. Nothing like a few hours in the car to remind you of all the things you love & hate about your car.

What did those crazy Texans do to your car!!!!!

:lawl:

Not much tape for such a long trip.

Have you seen what those guys who attend CanAm from MD/VA/NY do to their cars with some painter's tape!

:coffee:
