Driving cross country

I don't have time to do a full writeup right now but I left CT last night and got to my friends house in Denver earlier tonight where I'll be spending a few days. From here I'm going to LA where I'll spend roughly a month and then drive back to CT. The trip has been really fun so far!! The car is running great and has been comfortable for me on the drive so far. Here are a few pictures (the last one I shot with my actual camera and not my cell phone today in Colorado ) Also I got a warning when I was pulled over not a ticket!

Before leaving colorado you must do rocky mountain national park and million dollar highway. Don't drive all that way and pass them up. Some of the best roads in the country.

I just got back from a 1500 mile round trip road trip from NY to TN. The car is a blast and was packed to the nines with the back seat folded down to fit everything. Have fun and drive safe!!

SWP respect!

Did a 500 mile round-trip in mine two weekends ago, and I was really pleased at how good the car feels cruising at speed. I've not felt this connected to the road and driving before, and yet was very comfortable. My wife, who hates the passenger seat with something bordering on psychotic rage even commented on how detached she felt driving her Forester XT the next day after riding all day in the BRZ.
