2300 miles and 2 days later

I went from Rochester, to Albany, to Philly, took a 4 hour nap, hopped back on the road, drove to Charleston South Carolina, dropped a car off, got back on the road, drove to somewhere in north western VA, slept for another 3 hours, drove to Buffalo. It’s amazing how much time you have to think when all you are doing is driving for 2 days straight… needless to say I was exhausted. Here are some pics:

You know that site about flicking off Hummers? I wanna start one with giving Prius drivers the bird. Probably the car I hated on the most all trip, as I got cut off multiple times by there birkenstock wearing, long haired anti oil hippie asses (yes, I realize the irony here).

Ran into (not literally) the Mazda Grand Am DP trailer.

Last but certainly not least, the reason for my trip, dropping off my friend Shawn’s Silvia in SC to it’s new owner.

fucking love the mattress one Mike - and south of the border FTW

would it not have been cheaper to just ship it to new owner?

I was getting paid to do it, plus the car was in non running condition. I suspect you could’ve done it for the same price with a big carrier. But knowing the person transporting > big carriers IMO, especially when it’s non running. (needed a few things fixed).

wtf he sold it for $10k, i remember when he was trying to get rid of it for $14k

whos car/

Ya pics and info on said car?

S14.5 (custom metal fenders, carbon hood, fiberglass bumper)
SR20DET (with some mods on it)
JIC Magic Strut Bars
JIC Magic Coil-overs
R32 Skyline Brakes
Volk Gram Lights

Used to have an RB20DET in it, I know there is more done to it, but I honestly dont know the specifics. It is a well built car. I wish I could’ve bought it.
