48 States cross-country road trip
 

Whats up guys this is Jin from NJ.
Im going on a road trip with my 16' FRS, which will last for 40 days.
If you guys want to see me and my buddy's journey, follow @48states86 on instagram.
We are on currently on our way to Bar Harbor, Maine, if you guys have any recommendations for scenic spots, We'd appreciate a lot.

Thanks in advance:)

sounds fun, please keep us updated with how "practical" the car is for longer trips like these as I'm looking into something similar

Thanks for the invite.

WOW ...... sounds like fun!

I suggest that after you leave New England ....... jump on the interstate, set the cruise control at the speed limit and don't let up till you reach the Rockies ....... then get off the interstate, let up on the gas and look around at everything ...... :thumbsup:

Stay as far away from Canada as you can!

Oh, my this brings on a back-in-the-miata day story. I might have already told this story ...... but, so what ....!!

A miata.net forum member with a handle of SmittyNC, was from Toronto and had a new miata copper red NC.

He was on a long haul journey through the US.

My wife and I had a new copper red NC and headed out from Seattle on a long western trip.

Now, with all the traveling we lost contact with each other.

Early one morning, we had just reached the top of Pikes Peak (14,100 feet) when we joined a group of about 6 parked cars. I thought the altitude had gotten to me when I saw that one of them was a 2006, copper red, NC, just like mine!

I introduced myself to the driver and said my name was humfrz ....... he said "humfrz from the forum ? ...... I'm Smitty NC".

That was the "high point" of our trip!

THE END

Why? Because they're proficient at catching speeders?

Breakdowns can be very lonely.

As a Cannonball record holder, I applaud and endorse what you are doing -- which is taking your time and soaking in all the beauty this country has to offer.

Our team entertained the idea of doing 48-state transcontinental record, but after seeing how much I missed out on while trying to speed across the country in 29 hours, I too, wish I could take my time.

Would be interesting to see how the 86 holds up throughout the duration of it.

Should make for a beautiful trip! Drive safe. :)

Let us know how many oil changes you get

So Im on my way to buffalo NY from Vermont.
So far I've driven Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and haven't spotted a single frs/brzs. Couple of wrxs and lots of na& nb miatas. Where is everyone at?!?

I thinking of doing 3 oil changes total during the whole trip. I did oil change right before I left for the trip:)

Yo your last name isn't Au-Yeung, is it?

This is one of things I'd like to do when I get my BRZ. Curious to hear your experience with your car on a long road trip like this! Any issues, back pains, speed traps, interesting stories?

btw, how are you finding your hotels? Did you plan ahead or just staying at whatever hotel you see when you are tired?

Good luck!

Can't believe your on this forum! I'm reading eds book now

UMMMMMM
