Cross Country Road Trip Tomorrow

[King James]

Tomorrow my dad and I are going to drive from Edmonton, AB to Toronto, ON.....I recently moved to edmonton....decided i wanted to be closer to my family so I asked for a transfer back to ontario......and here we are

Im gonna be driving my si.......I feel a little bad for it.....cuz now it will have just under 10000 km on it and ive only had it 4 months lol

Im planning on pretty much driving straight through......Im told its 30 hours of driving.....so I picked up some coffee beans to keep me awake haha.....and when the time comes when I crash Ill switch off and let my dad drive......I HAVE to be back before saturday night as my friends are throwing me a welcome back party

Wish me luck

hahahha.....2 years ago that woulda been the way to go......but now with the pee in the cup job I have.....its not an option lol

I think well probably spend the night somewhere at some point......I wanna make it to Ontario sometime in the morning (on whatever day) so we dont drive through northern ontario at night.....Mooses would fuck us right up ahha

[King James]

I got back on saturday at 745pm eastern time

We left Edmonton on Thursday at 615pm eastern time

It was a total of 36 hours of driving.....We slept for a grand total of 11 hours during the trip which was 49 hours.....Spent maybe a total of 1 hour getting gas and food....The rest of the time was just driving....and driving.....and driving

We used 276.736 Liters of gas....or 73.127 Gallons
Which cost us 376 Dollars

The trip total was 3652 Kilometers...or 2269 Miles

So that means we averaged 13.1966 Km/L.....or 31.0282 mpg

The average speed was about 100 km/h....or 62 mph

Including hotels (which we used for a max of 6 hours of sleep lol)....food.....and the ticket i got in manitoba.....the trip total was 800 dollars

I will never.....EVER do this trip again.....I feel like crap cuz of the lack of sleep...the lack of good food......and the fact that northern ontario is HELL to drive in at night

But it was an experience im glad I did.....and it got me home....which is awesome

[starchland]

oh a ticket thats unfortunate man! glad your home safe and the mpg doesnt seem to bad at all!

[lokuputha]

lol...good to know you are back home James ...I offered you guys a place to sleep in Thunder Bay. but that would have made your trip at least 8hrs longer.

how did the Civic drive?

[mozzandherb]

30 hours is a long ass trip, but at least you have your dad with you....good luck man

[King James]

oh a ticket thats unfortunate man! glad your home safe and the mpg doesnt seem to bad at all!

Thanks man.....the ticket sucked.....but im gonna fight it.....since it was 123 in a 100.....He gave me the wrong speed too....cuz my cruise control was set at 121 and its accurate......and he was going the other way and pulled a u-turn to get me....it was bull shit lol

and the mpg surprsied me.....since in the city i get 21ish.....but i guess in the city the car sees 8250 rpm more haha

lol...good to know you are back home James ...I offered you guys a place to sleep in Thunder Bay. but that would have made your trip at least 8hrs longer.

how did the Civic drive?

Thanks man

we actually ended up staying in Thunder Bay friday night.....but we werent planning on it.....We arrived there at like 830 got gas and food and was ready to get rolling agin....then it rained so bad we couldnt see....so we had no choice but to stop.....It sucked cuz it turned saturday into a 16 hour day to get to Belleville haha

The civic drove fantastic......Smoooooth as butter haha....I was actually surprised how great it felt....I thought itd get a bit tiring after awhile

30 hours is a long ass trip, but at least you have your dad with you....good luck man

The turned out to be 36 hours....Since im home now lol....but thanks regardless lol.....and ya my dad made the trip alot better to take
