Road Trip-AZ to NY.... Tons of Pics

ROAD TRIP !!!

Xander and I set off on trip last Wednesday to fly out to Lake Havasu City Arizona (where my Gramps lives). We went out there to pick up a car for GSTairs (Andrea). My gramps has a bunch of cars and was selling the 2004 SRT-4 he had with only 4K on the clock.

She wanted it, so Xander and I looked at this as a good reason to go visit my gramps and take a little road trip across the country. Also a good reason to see/drive all the cars my gramps has around.

Pics from the trip:

He really needs a more diverse car collection. :bloated:

Damn gramps is cool as hell.

The local dealers must love him

WOW… that must have been a hell of a trip. HAHAHAHAH especially with chris and xander together :lol:

love andrea’s new car though :tup:

can’t wait to move to az!

How long did it take you guys to get there and how fast were you cruising?

not for nothing, but you probably could have had that thing shipped on a car trailer for under 800 bucks. I paid to have my car trailered from the bottom of texas for 600. But whats the fun in that.

very nice pics!

i’m jealous.

roadtrips are fun :slight_smile:

how much was the ticket? lol

:tup:

Your gramps > * Love the bikini chick pinups in the garage. He looking to adopt?

His gramps could not drive it, so they would of had to pick it up at his house and that costs alot more.

It took us about 30 hours of driving roughly. It was 2300 miles. We did not go straight through. We were not in that much of a hurry, so we got some ZZZ’s at night and had a few beers.

We looked into the shipping and since it would be residental to residential it was more $$$.
But I know what your saying, my brother just had his car shipped from california for $600. But that was terminal to terminal. That was not an option here in AZ.

Jeller

Just a “warning” some asshole must have called the cops, cause they were waiting for us up ahead :rofl:

Gramps has been a bachelor for about 40 years :pimp:
Most of them were early 90’s pics, its funny. Jenny McCarthy looked like she was 16 in the one.

:tup: to the Buick Reatta sitting under the tent cover

Oooo nice.

nice.
