I thought you were supposed to take Hunter S. Thompson, a rental car, and
a suitcase full of drugs and guns?

A good supply of parts for the 44 years old car I'd be driving and my
meds, including Viagra in case I'm lucky.

In addition to the usual assortment of favorite music, reading
material, snacks and supplies, I'd take Ed, my former next door
neighbor and surrogate big brother. I've traveled up and down the
east coast with the guy and from NY to Minnesota for a Corvair
convention in a car with a one-day old rebuilt engine that we had put
together in a month as our intoduction to Corvairs. Ran perfectly
Now a chief mechanic at a 100+ million gallon per day sewage treatment
plant, he can fix anything that breaks. Could have been Scotty on the
Enterprise in another lifetime a millenium from now. Once I blew a
head gasket during practice runs for time trials at Lime Rock, and he
had it replaced and I was back on the track in 30 minutes, running
faster than I ever had before. Not an easy feat in a Corvair, where
you're working on your back with hot oil drupping in your face

After a devastating injury 20yrs ago, that even gave me some brain
damage, I planned a trip all around the country, wanting to take as
long as it would take, and seeing anything that I wanted to, mainly
scenic and interesting places. It helped a lot with cognitive therapy
that I needed, and kept me looking forward instead of backward. Being
more into nature than conviences, I wanted to be able to go off road,
and also camp. I still haven't decided on the perfect vehicle. Sube's
probably can't go that far off road, but then I'm not into climbing
rocks. I have problem with fatigue,
and pains, so being able to pull over and rest or sleep at any time
would be a plus, and a trailer or RV would be better than camping in a
tent, but with gas prices climbing all the time, a tent might better
than an RV or towing a trailer.
I bought an Impreza wagon last year, but think a Legacy wagon would
be a better choice, for the size, and a trip I planed would take a
year, and 15K mi. Trying to pick a route that the weather would be
mild, as much as can be planned for, and see things I wanted to,
seemed like the thing to do.
When I planned the trip I had an oder full sized wagon, with a lot
of miles. Figuring on that I planned to put in a new motor, and carry
parts like belts and simple things. With an older motor I'd carry a
water pump and anything that could fail, that was small, and I might
not want to wait to get parts for, like maybe a master cyl. Ease of
getting parts would determine what I would carry.
Don't think I would go alone, and even a dog would give something to
talk to. At the time I had 2, that would have made the trip more
interesting, since the female liked to rest her muzzle on my shoulder
while I drove, and the male would get into trouble anytime we stopped.
A companion who wanted to take the trip as much as me, and was
compatible would make it more interesting. At the time I had a friend
who had a stroke, and he wanted to take the trip. I don't think he
shared my interests, but the trip would have helped him with the
depression. An interesting woman who wasn't afraid of challenges,
which I once had, would have been ideal. I can't think of any high
profile person who would make the trip as interesting, than someone
who likes an adventure. I gave up making plans long ago, since things
never turned out the way imagined, and being open to what happens or I
ran into, was a Lot more interesting. When I saw something I wanted to
see, I would stop and check it out. If I saw a road that looked
interesting, I turned onto it, to see what it lead to.
I still have the dream, but still am not able, so toned down my plan
to interesting places not as far, though they haven't seemed
interesting enough to get me past my limits. I figure when I am able
to, I will Just Go.
