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  Viva Las Vegas -

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.

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.
