Default Drove from MN to Cali

So I sold my NFR a few weeks ago and wasn't sure what I wanted next, was thinking about a NSX but then I found a deal I couldn't pass up...

Anyway, the trip was made in an 08 Subaru Tribeca it's stock so I didn't take a pic of it.

Overall the trip was 4000 miles, about 60 hours of driving and we made it back within 90 hours because my buddy needed to be back for work.

Within an hour of leaving we saw a huge crash, over 20 cops, fire trucks etc. It involved a Semi and some other cars. Apparently the Semi was carrying over 2 million Bees!!! There were some beekeepers trying to get some back in the crates and most of the people had some sort of face protection (second pic shows the bee keepers):




On the way there we took a more southern route through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Here are some pics (these were all taken with my BlackBerry Storm):



Once we got to Cali we went and checked out my new car as well as packed the Tribeca with some of the stock parts the guy included.

Here are pics of my new car



Some quick specs: Built engine, lowered compression ratio, Comptech SC with Aftercooler, AEM EMS, headers, Greddy exhaust, Tein coils, 18" Work VS-XX rims, Hardtop, Seibon hood, fenders, trunk, front lip, INGS rear bumper, Upgraded gears, clutch, flywheel, AP2 tails, red OEM H badges, alpine + JL sound system, aftermarket rear differential, and much more but those are some of the main parts

It puts down 418 whp, it feels ridiculous.

On the way back we took a more direct route through Vegas, Colorado, and boring Nebraska. Here are some pics:



It was a fun trip, I would do it again

I'm more of a clean look type of person if you've seen my old S, although I actually kind of like the aggressive look with the cf but know I will get sick of it soon, once I do I will decide what I will do...
I may go back to the stock hood + fenders + repaint the front bumper/lip GPW...

Yep it's from bakersfield, was on ebay but I made him an offer, he accepted then took it off ebay.

And yes it will eventually all be GPW, but I'm going to decide whether I want the stock hood/fenders or paint the Seibon ones GPW... and first I'm just going to enjoy it!
