just got back from the worst road trip ever. I was driving fom AZ to MI that past 2 days, here is a list of the "fun"

1: Not even out of AZ yet and get caught by a speed trap, (pair of cops pulled over about 4 of us on the highway I was speeding but not hugely)

2: About 2 hrs later I had a blow out on the highway and proceed to almost flip my car in the median on I40 just outside of albuquerque . Cop then pulls over while I'm changing my tire to yell at me because i'm not supposed to be in the meidian and gives me a warning. Gee thanks like I have a choice when I don't have a tire, and he was lucky I didn't cause a 10-20 car pile up.

3: That evening at a rest stop my key breaks off in my door, and my spare key ended up in the wrong box that is sitting in storage in AZ. Loch Smith comes, will only take cash, and way more money than I could spare. so I had to wake my dad up at 2am to have him western union me some money so I could get my car fix. He got it going again, altough I now have to start my car with a screwdriver and couldn't lock my car since I have no key.

4: Cop pulls me over for "swerving and looking drunk/tired" he really pulled me over because I was a college age student from the south west in a loaded car. they proceeded to call in the K9 unit to search my car. and question me why my steering column was taken apart (see 3)

I'm glad this nightmare is over. and to all you spelling and grammer nazis who are going to have a feild day with this mess. go to hell i'm tired and going to bed

um....good road trips are supposed to be crappy!

that's why we like them. it's not the hours of speeding down a road that makes them fun. it's overcomming adversity and reaching point B at all costs.

seems like a fantastic road trip with a crappy perspective. it time, you will enjoy it.

wtf is with MI and AZ?! :D Everybody goes there or comes here from there.

Thread about when I went.

My friend's parents moved out there origionaly from here.

When we drove out there, we ran into some old friends that knew some people that were moving to MI. :confused:

Sorry, but I will bet I have you beat. A few friends and I bought a RV in Texas and drove it back to PA (kind of). One of the guys wrote the whole story down here:

Road trip from hell

If anything could go wrong, it did, and something worse was always right around the corner.
A speeding ticket and a flat tire would have been a walk in the park ;)
