I travel pretty often. So far this year I've been to 32 of our beautiful states. Over the last few years I've been in 47 of them at one time or another. I will occasionally drop some pictures in here or document anything interesting that happens or I see.

On the docket over the next month:

Washington, DC to visit family and work.
Cross country road trip from Richmond, VA to Los Angeles.
Costa Rica with the girlfriend.

I want to go to the NC mountains. I need to soon. I hear there's a road near there.

We visited DC, the National Mall is really cool. Weirdly, I've been to the DC metro but had never visited all of the monuments and stuffs, very cool and iconic to see all of these and it was a great fall day to walk around:

I saw this breh in Bethesda, MD. Huge suitcase in the passenger seat of the C7 necessitating the top being off on a 45 degree day. Basically, this guy is RichGriff. Also, napped the pic while driving, :fuckyeah: :mahtroy:

Thanks man!

Me and my buddy Maxx are driving the Bang Bus from Charlotte to Los Angeles starting thie Friday, so hopefully we'll see some neat stuff along the way. My CEO felt bad for me having to make such a long trek, so he offered to pay for someone's room/board/meals on the trip if anyone could come along. It'll be a lot of driving but a pretty :fuckyeah: experience as I've driven all over but never in one shot like this.

We're going to Costa Rica in December so she couldn't take another week off... plus, I don't think she's giving any road head :disappoint:

Though, I find it hard to receive and not crash.

The Bang Bus would be pretty optimal for it though, automatic and bench seat.

Can confirm, it is the perfect setup. 1SMP is the same.
