What would you consider an adventure trip in your FRS/BRZ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I am curious how far/ foreign any of you would be willing to drive your cars? The BMW road bike guys have rallied pretty much to every corner of north/ south america. If one day there were a large rally planned, where would you be willing to drive to?

I don't think Route 66 is complete anymore is it?

Tanuki · 04-01-2013, 06:25 PM

I am thinking of maybe a run to Costa Rica or Panama.

I've already taken my car on a 1,500 mile road trip. It was pretty awesome romping on some deserted roads in Wyoming and Idaho...also had to keep a keen eye out.

The car is pretty good on road trips, though I wish it got a bit better mileage...I also did it with my muffler delete. For those doing a long trip, I suggest you install the standard muffler.

I drove my first FRS from Salt lake city to the grand canyon, then to LV and back to Utah. I think it was around 2k miles? Car gets good mpg's though. What do you consider bad?

I'm planning to drive up to Big Sur, CA via Pacific Coast Highway.

Zaku · 04-01-2013, 06:52 PM

Actually to do a diagonal might be fun too from like Washington to Florida. Or Maine to California.

Did someone say FT86club Cannonball Run?

Headed from Central NY to Myrtle beach in mine in 3 weeks (14 hr drive) and driving it there is the part im most excited about.

Perhaps I'm an oddball, but I don't like highway driving. Droning on for hours and hours in a straight line bores me, and it's not what I bought this car for. It's not a GT car, and so I wouldn't want to use it for touring, with BeSpoke I'd probably find myself in an ocean, or the back of another car.
