Traveling - after log
The 2ZZ spyder was one hell of a car. I sat at 80 mph for hours on end. Then she gave me speeds that would get me put in jail in some parts of the country.
And to all the pussies that complain that the Spyder is not a car that you can travel with because it does not have room for their tampons, well they just don't know shit!
I hauled two weeks worth of clothing in two duffle bags, DSLR camera bag, Dell projector, 3 sets of shoes, a few bags worth of trinkets for the kiddies, spare tire, tools kit, gallon of prestone coolant, gallon of prestone windshield washer fluid, two quarts of Castrol Titanium something or another oil, 100CDs in case, small ice chest for cold drinks, three bags of pretzels and a few bags of doritos. Sleeping bag, and a 6'x6' blanket. And my computer bag. and I still had room if I needed it.
When I was in my twenties I traveled across the USA a lot between Bradford Pa and Phoenix / San Diego. It was a lot easier back then. I would drive from Bradford Pa to Oklahoma City. Sleep a few hours at a truck stop. Then drive on to Flagstaff, catch a few more hours. Then on to Phoenix or San Diego.
That would put me in Hospital today if I tried that! Plus now I can afford the finer things, like hotels...
I remember having to borrow money from my father to get back to Pa one time because I underestimated my needs, plus gas prices went from under a $1 a gallon to $1.50 or so from an earlier trip. Cash was king then, we had no credit cards!
I am amazed I did not get any tickets. One thing I noticed with the Spyder is that the radar that is used to let you know how fast you are going in construction zones rarely picked me up. Either they are too weak or aimed to high to get the SUVs.
I love this car. It is rock solid. Fun. and freaking fast.
