so i'm going to be in AZ from 13th-20th maybe hang out in LA and LV too, but anywho, has anyone ever drove from houston to phoenix before? non stop? im debating whether i need to tape my front end and what not...and if theres anything i should look out for.

and i know having to cruise control blows

anyways if theres anything going on in that area within the time frame let me know i would like to check out the scene =]

this is my first time driving alone out-of-state.

 

Prepare to be bored most of the way. I 10 sucks and there are big wrecks sometimes between tucson / phx a lot of nothing around u

 

I've driven las vegas to dallas non stop. I think that is pretty simliar length to your trip, maybe a little shorter. That was brutal, took me 17 hours

 

tape the front end?? come on man its a car just drive it and enjoy the loong cruise, BUT do take pit stops cause you dont want to get in a wreck by being tired.

 

yea serious i dont understand the whole tape the front end its stupid and a waste of time. Like your going to be missing huge chunks of paint or something chances are whether its taped or not if you hit something its doing to destroy the bumper anyways. Just drive it there and take your req breaks in the action so you dont overwork yourself.

 

I drove from the Middle of Minnesota to Chicago it was about 8 hours strait. not fun without cruise thats for sure be ready to take pit stops to rest your ankle!

 

I drove non stop from chicago to florida and back......twice in my old eagle talon with no cruise control. Man were those fun trips.

 

+1 whether you drive 1000 miles around your town or 1000 miles cross country, its the same thing

 

see what your top end is on the way just one time... i did 171 baby...! it was a blast!

Scary as hell btw!

 

get a bar on. is aound $200-300, and it'll last you a long long time.

 

Say wha?

 

i think he means a bra?

 

thx for the input guys looks like im having some fun ahead of me...

 

I drove Cleveland, OH to Phoenix, AZ nonstop. 31 hours, in a Ford Ranger haha.

Wouldn't take $$ to ever do that drive again. From texas to Arizona was the most boring drive of my life! All desert and fields as far as you can see, little two lane road, speed limits 75.

 

UH...no. I've hit more **** driving from CA to AZ than around time. More people travel on the freeways thus clearing the debris to the sides of the roads. But when you're on open the highway, rocks etc don't get cleared as much. Not to mention the dust storms

No cruise control REALLY sucks but at the same time it'll keep you a little more aware. Drive safe
