1500 mile drive home. (oodles of pictures)

Went with a buddy to pick up a car, drove it from California back to the Midwest. FYI, mountain roads rule. I didn't get to start taking pictures till Nevada which was hotter than hell.

Nevada -

Tranny temp getting high

Some other random state nobody cares about -

This was back when there was a HUUUGE forest fire going on in the west coast, we were pretty much at a stop for 2 hours -

This was the road they directed us to for safety reasons, come to find out later, this road the the one from the last picture were in the fire later on -

Drawing into the night, one last shot of the car and head for bed -

Pink bathroom what? -

Wake up, check out the carnage, keep going through Colorado -

Once we got in the Midwest, I stopped taking pictures, not much to see out there other then the last fuel stop before we got home.

Parked it, headlights are off, currently cleaning up the wiring harness, the interior and some of the exterior. Fun little car but needs some work.

very nice ride, i've always been keen on the supras, especially with the targa top, shame they're all autos (i think?).

Body kit probably not, maybe OEM ground kit, having a buddy build me a full 4 inch titanium exhaust (minus the downpipe obviously), and those are real volks, taking the centers off and powder coating them gunmetal this winter.

They made 6spd Turbo Targas, but a 6spd in general is hard to find. The car will stay an auto simply because I've already got a road race car (my Ford) and this is something to go in a straight line with. Plus the transmission is already built for some serious power.

Awesome pics .Love the U.S .

Great pics. There's some beautiful country through there.

Pretty much anything between Nevada and Nebraska was amazing to drive through, and some of the roads were CRAZY. There was no shoulder, two lanes on each side, no spots for cops and wide open corners. THE most fun I've had driving.

Brings back memories of my 6 spd Supra RZ twin turbo. Nice photo's of the US. Must be good to have so much open road to drive on. Especially in a quick car.
