Left Coast Envy (56knoway)
(I think this is where i would post it)
This summer, my gf and I drove from CT to Irvine, CA and back in two weeks. It was an amazing trip, one of those once in a lifetime kind of deals. In under two weeks, i managed to pack on 7k miles onto the fit without a problem, except the fact that it hated a loaded trunk. The trip was not planned at all, in fact i did not want a plan. We went and did whatever we felt like in that moment. We made it our to irvine, spent a few days in sunny huntington, newport and laguna, and came back, camping most of the way to cut down on cost. This is something that i would do again in a heartbeat and encourage everyone to do it as well if they ever have the chance.
Now on to the picsss . . .
fit packed and ready to go
somewhere in illinois, or indiana, all the corn made it seem like one big state
campsite in St. Louis
Beauty of a sunrise in MO
St. Louis Arch
Due to my love of beer, had to take the tour of the bud plant, plus you get free beers at the end
ozarkland?
Most of the trip, me driving with a rockstar to keep me up
flatness
so many windmills in kansas
Oasis on the plains
scary Kansas weather
I <3 CO, despite the downpour, our tent collapsing bc of high winds and everything i brought on the trip in ankle deep water.
Colorado National Monument scary ass drive
fit and couple photo op
fit pics at deserted rest stop with no running water
campsite in small Utah town
Drunk in vegas at Urban
Hoover Dam
no shit.
5 star hotel on von karman ave in irvine
huntington beach
burnt and miserable
Laguna and Sunset
Cadi ranch
Cool old school gas station in shamrock, TX
After two weeks of driving, the fit could use some tlc, these pics dont even begin to do justice, i think i killed every bug in america.
such an amazing trip.

Fantastic pictures, haha - that was a bug genocide right there.
Nothing like a spontaneous holiday.
What's going on with the spoiler? Stock sprayed black?
Like the black part on your boot too. Great pics.
loool, makes me think: fuck it, turn the car round, we're going home.

2 weeks was enough time, but 3 weeks would have been perfect, although i dont know if i could have handled any more quality time together.
There are so many more pictures, i think between the two of us we took almost 2k, but none from cali of course. Too much time enjoying ourselves. anybody has a job opportunity ill be more than happy to come back out there!
