We're on our way home now, we're half way home. For the guy who said it lost all driveablility, we've driven over 4000 miles so far on this trip in a car likely lower than most, and so far I'd say we're doin' pretty well. :) Thanks for the shout out!

I think the difference is that I'm preparing for it a little more. Just need to finish putting the turbo motor in then sorting out the suspension and I can depart! ... I'm going to spend some time going through that thread to see what mistakes he made that I can avoid. Weird, I’m about to do a cross-country trip in my s30 that hasn’t seen the road in 15 years.

Can't drive on any interesting roads because the car is too low. Days stuck in a POS car that is unprepared for any sort of distance driving, constantly breaking off the exhaust and cording tires, stopping a week for parts that should have been packed as spares or dealt with before leaving etc doesn't really make for an "epic" trip. And then to BLOG about it -- get over yourself. Cars like this may look cool sitting still, but they've lost all driving ability, and this "report" basically confirms how dumb they are.
