Since my summer seemed to like the idea of working instead of doing anything at all, I want to spend my next summer roadtripin'. Some backstory:

L.A.: Every single bit of the american culture represented like a big buffet. And car culture is repped EVERYWHERE. I want to go. It sounds like my kind of city. Here's the thing, I've never been. In fact, the farthest west I've ever been is Alabama. I'd like to go to L.A., but I would also like to see some other places. Nashville, Atlanta, New Orleans, St. Louis, Houston, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. I need a car. I could (should) take my Honda, but I would LOVE to do it in a cadillac. And also, some contacts to meet in various cities. That would be nice, have a bit of local insiders to show me how to have a good time in the respective cities (and maybe couch crashing, but only if offered). Any advice, thoughts, whatever, post here.

Get your ass to St. Louis and we'll go buck wild dude.

New York and California are the only two cool states.

MAYBE Texas, but it's a stretch.

Drive from Jersey to Central PA to meet me. Then we can go somewhere that is actually... cool.

If by cool you mean over populated and over taxed, yes.

At first I was going to argue a little bit, then I considered the other 48 and went naw.

Alaska and Hawaii are kinda cool though.

Brian Silvestro > CAR_IS_MI
08/22/2014 at 19:32

But they have STUFF!

Brian Silvestro > jkm7680
08/22/2014 at 19:34

They're cool, they're just REALLY out of the way.

I expect people to be like NO, MY STATE IS COOL BECAUSE

REASON

CAR_IS_MI > Brian Silvestro

Stuff like crippling debt and alcoholism?

1. Rust

2. Florida's future population

3. Socialist gun laws.

Brian Silvestro > CAR_IS_MI
08/22/2014 at 19:44

YES! Both of those things in excess! And many drugs.

Brian Silvestro > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
08/22/2014 at 19:44

I lol'd. So hard.

CAR_IS_MI > Brian Silvestro
08/22/2014 at 19:46

To be fair, I am pretty sure Missouri has more drugs than NY and CA combined (at least more meth...)

Brian Silvestro > CAR_IS_MI
08/22/2014 at 19:47

I bet they have the same amount. SO much cocaine in NY.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Brian Silvestro
08/22/2014 at 19:49

Always need to remember, Florida's crazy originated from NY or MI 90% of the time.

Brian Silvestro > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
08/22/2014 at 19:51

SO FUCKING TRUE

Every person who talks about retiring mentions Florida in that plan 100% of the time.

CAR_IS_MI > Brian Silvestro
08/22/2014 at 19:52

Well yes, NY does like its poweder, but Missouri loves its meth, like they should just change the state logo to meth.

Brian Silvestro > CAR_IS_MI
08/22/2014 at 19:53

I think states should have an official drug. Y'know, like they have official birds and shit.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Brian Silvestro
08/22/2014 at 19:54

I don't know why. All Florida has is beach and swamp. NY and MI have beach and probably swamp, but also mountains and legit back roads. Also, you can't snow drift in Florida.

CAR_IS_MI > Brian Silvestro
08/22/2014 at 19:55

That would be interesting, but I am sure Pot would be the most if you went by majority vote as its still considered a drug but a lot less "hard" than the others. We get a lot of X out here and those synthetic drugs so I guess thats what NV would be. Most of the mid west would be meth...

People always say "I just can't stand the winter anymore!"

Because you'd rather live in absurd heat with crazy people? In salt-filled flatlands? Cool.

Brian Silvestro > CAR_IS_MI
08/22/2014 at 19:59

Meth is very under-discussed in places like NY because not very many people do it here. But the mid west love that shit!

Conan > Brian Silvestro
08/22/2014 at 20:25

South too sadly. A meth lab blew up near an elementary school I was substituting at.

Brian Silvestro > Conan
08/22/2014 at 20:28

That sounds both hilarious and terrifying at the same time.

Your boy, BJR > Big Bubba Ray
08/22/2014 at 20:49

Cadillac crashed drunkenly into the Arch wild?

08/22/2014 at 21:01

I bet you had to answer some interesting questions from children.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Brian Silvestro
08/22/2014 at 21:18

They weren't crazy until y'all started your infiltration.

Brian Silvestro > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
08/22/2014 at 21:23

Everyone that leaves NY for Florida is stupid.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Brian Silvestro
08/22/2014 at 21:32

Well, that goes back to the socialist gun laws, I can't say they are stupid for that reason. As long as they aren't flooding Alabama, I am okay because there still is a silent safe haven.

Brian Silvestro > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
08/22/2014 at 21:33

I hear Alabama is actually very nice.

I should move there...

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Brian Silvestro
08/22/2014 at 21:42

I need to move back. I miss complete silence, and living in a town that's postal code is 150ish square miles, but contains only 2 smallish subdivisions.

Brian Silvestro > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
08/22/2014 at 21:43

mmmm seems nice.

Big Bubba Ray > Your boy, BJR
08/22/2014 at 23:02

I'll be riding shotgun and yes we can make that happen.

Your boy, BJR > Big Bubba Ray
08/22/2014 at 23:04

Only if we can bump this

Big Bubba Ray > Your boy, BJR
08/22/2014 at 23:04

You're goddamn right. Let's make it happen. Power moves.

Your boy, BJR > Big Bubba Ray
08/22/2014 at 23:13

How's the pussy and weed in St. Louis?

Big Bubba Ray > Your boy, BJR
08/22/2014 at 23:14

Pussy is meh at best unfortunately. Weed is on point. Trust me. We could hit Mizzou for the best of both worlds. Only an hour away. Always worth the drive.

Your boy, BJR > Big Bubba Ray
08/22/2014 at 23:16

Shite. Okay. Wanna continue to LV with me?

Big Bubba Ray > Your boy, BJR
08/22/2014 at 23:18

I would strongly consider it. If I'm not taking summer classes, then hell ya.
