Default Cross-Continent S2000 Road Trip

Hi, All.

I've just recently finished a cross-continent road trip with the S2K, and part of my web presentation on the trip is on how great the driving was. Here's the link

Andrew's S2000 Cross-Continent Road Trip

Also, I've compiled a list of what I thought were the best routes on the trip.... you can get to that here: Top Road Picks from the 2004 Road Trip

(if you're interested in the whole report, the main page is here:
2004 West Coast Road Trip)



Let me know what you think!

I wanted an S2000 to take on my recent west coast trip - didn't happen. Ended up making the 6,500 mile 3 week trip in a `93 Accord.

Congratulations! I bet it was incredible (:

It certainly was incredible. Unfortunately, we did have more wet weather than I would have expected for the southwest.

And I wore clean through a set of rear RE-050s! As in, no tread at all left. Had to stop at the Tire Rack on the way back and get some new ones.

Wow, that is an incredible drive! Thanks for the write up, I truly enjoyed it.

But yah, it has been raining like crazy here in the SW, too bad My S has been garaged way too many days as of late...

My lady and I encountered only 3 or 4 days of rain during our 22 days on the road. We were truely blessed on our trip. And no mechanical failures at all. But we did go through a bit of gas - 209 gallons to be exact.
