Default Driving your buddy's car Cross country... (not 56K friendly)






This is awesome. I copied and pasted it from another forum (although thismight be a repost). These guys were driving their buddy's car across the country for a buddy. They didn't like the Black, so they taped it up. Here's the story:



Aaron (Euro Nation) and I flew out last Sunday night, arrived in Albany, NY about 9am Monday to drive a car home for a friend of ours.
Here's the car after washing it.

Why would we wash a car before driving it across the country you ask? Simple, the black wasn't doing it for us. We like our S4's in Nogaro blue.
Problem is we couldn't afford paint....

This should do the trick.
4 hours, one pizza and 4 and a half rolls of tape later we were ready to hit the road.

We didn't have any plates so I figured I'd make one so we didn't get pulled over.

That should keep the coppers away.

It ended up being more like 3250 miles or something.
Didn't take long before we saw something interesting, a big rig and some flashing lights.... this should be good, I got out the camera...

Whoops. Looks like a job opening if anyone's interested..
Not a lot more going on that night picture wise, got some fuel, stuck up some stickers and discovered the truth behind the toll highways.
The way I see it, Mcdonalds puts up these highways they trap you on and the only thing to eat is mcdonalds and dunkin donuts. Your tolls go towards building the (I think they called them) Service Areas on every exit. They sure as hell don't go towards fixing the screwed up roads.
So you're trapped on this beat up highway that you have to pay to drive on and you're stuck eating whatever they want you to eat, which happens to me mcdonalds.
We starved ourselves til later that night when we saw a Denny's. Not much better but I'll eat dog food before I'll eat Mcdonalds.
Stomachs slightly upset we head out of New York with Aaron driving while I sleep off the jet-lag so I can drive later while he gets some sleep. Halfway through Ohio I wake up and inform Aaron he's going to have to pull over cause that food isn't sitting well.
He says "You gotta ****?" I said "I'm not sure which end, but it wants out." He pulls over and I say "I hope this doesn't take long, I hate the feeling of waiting to vomit." I step out of the car, stand up and shoot half digested eggs, hash browns and french toast a good 3-4 feet in front of me.
Lucky for you guys Aaron couldn't find his camera fast enough.
2 kids dressed in all black standing next to a $40k car covered in tape on the side of the Ohio turnpike at 3am. One kid projectile vomiting while the other one tries to take pictures. I'm sure that was quite a site for passers by. [IMG]http://www.vwvortex.com/zeroforum_graphics/s
