Good topic.
I've always dreamed of trying to drive from here to the Tierra Del Fuego....though I don't think that there is a route to do this.
We'd probably want a Chevy Suburban, with a body that looked like it was worn out pretty good (so as not to draw too much attention). We'd have to get reinforced suspension and tires, and if money were not object we'd get bullet proofing done on it.
We'd need someone in our group who spoke Spanish. We'd also need a ninja. Probably KK could do both, not sure.
We'd have to document it all with video, etc. Probably though, we'd just spend most of our time reviewing the beer/tequila/pork products in each jerkwater barrio we ran into.

Cannonball run in Lamborghini Diablo with a stripper from Centerfolds. TIA

Some small 60s or 70s era deathtrap convertible. Only items to take with are what I can fit in the trunk.
Go through Colorado/Utah for Canyoneering/Mountain biking. Go to Portland for beer festival. Head south to see friends in Cali/surf/scuba dive. Travel through the south, see live shows in Austin. Scuba dive a shipwreck close to Galveston. Scuba a mine in Missouri heading back north. Head to Cedar point for rollercoasters. Finish in Chicago at a music festival and seeing a Hamburger bed a friend purchased for a ridiculous amount.
I would want to know how fast I did anything athletic on my trip so I would take Stacy to keep my stats straight.

I love the fact that LSOC started a thread about a "Fantasy roadtrip" an hour before he started the thread about how to stop a baby from crying. Things must be golden in the LSOC homestead right about now. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not in a hummer dood, in fact I may get a hummer stretch limo to fit more doods in.
Are personal drivers/chauffers allowed? I feel like they would definately make the road trip easier/allow for more drinking time, but would also take a crucial expeirience(the actual driving) our of the trip.
Thoughts?

4 words:
Girls

Would try to convince sys to go w/ me, wherever I went.

I have always wanted to get a BMW motorcycle (only because they are comfortable) Haleys look cool but my back can't take it. I would drive from Protland Oregon to Portland Main along the coast line - NOT along Canada. I would carry a gun to shoot Mexicans that try to hitch a ride unless it's a hot little sinurita(sp)?

Got me.
So, I will amend
Vehicle: Escalade, loaded but in an odd color, like goEMAW purple. Or Silver cuz its G
Group: Pete (if he can get away) SD, RD and Trim. Slimz if he doesn't mind sitting in the luxuriouse third row seating
Bring along: good scotch, cigars, tents, a duct taped cooler full of bundles of coke on top of bundles of $100 bills
Route: start at the Keys, during spring training. hit the games all over florida, head up the eastern board, over to Atlanta, dip through deep south to keep real. head back north again through Tenn, then turn west on 70 and fly by seat. Would hit Aspen in offseason, then down to great sand dunes, over to vegas then zion and bryce, then head north again. Up to pugent sond then take PCH all the way to tijuana.*
*typed while drunk so save me your geography lessons.

1. Bike
2. 2 of my Best Friends that can hold their own
3. Knife, Sleeping bag, tent. one change of clothes. Some food.
4. Start in Colorado and end up at Cape Horn. Sell whatever is left of the bike and hitch-hike through South America. Fly from Peru to Home.

Don't think you'll be making it to Cape Horn if you're riding your bike through Colombia. Would probably run into Pablo Escobar and either overdose on some great cocaine or be kidnapped, ransomed and murdered. Might want to bring a million dollars cash w/ you, just in case...

Plus lugging all that cash around would probably wear you out. I beg you would give up around Quito dead tired from carrying that extra Mil in cash around.

Hey idiots, ever heard of a one million dollar bill?

I've always dreamed of trying to drive from here to the Tierra Del Fuego....though I don't think that there is a route to do this.
This intrigued me...it looks like the biggest obstacle is the Darien Gap...sounds like a fascinating place.

The Moon. Eating pie and drinking wine the whole time. Would also probably be naked.

With money as no object, no road trip can hold a candle to island (or continent) hopping in something like this

Arrrrrgg, that seems like an awfully small boat for a money is no object purchase. :garr:

it is the best compromise between luxury and fishing.
Also would be easier than a giant mega yacht to get in and out of exotic ports of call when stopping to load up on food/booze/native girls
