ive been a fair share of road trips and ive loved everyone of them. i'd love to write down some adventures and things we've gotten up to but its seriously too good for words. some songs that are played loud and proud while we cruise are.
-living on a prayer (of course!)
-california by phantom planet
-the brews by nofx
-what i cant describe by the transplants (ultimate summer song)
-children by robert miles
-whats the deal by 28 days

theres about 6003 more but i cant be ****ed.

road trips are awesome. the ingredients for a perfect one is:
1. good people
2. alcohol
3. good vehicle (mini buses are ****ing cool)
4. good music
5. video camera and plenty of still cameras
6. good destination

all in that order too. good people are the most important, and after you have the first 5 it doesnt matter where you go or how long it goes for.

long live the road trip.

another thing...how good is it when youve been cruising for a few hours, the sun starts to set over the ocean, the sky is just orange and everyones a bit worn out and then someone slaps on some relaxed chili peppers music like scar tissue, venice queen or even road trippin'.

Really thinking of doing a major road trip with my friends around Australia with a rented RV.

Dont know if it's a good idea or not.

Got to really plan out the entire journey.

yeah its got to be well planned out, but its a good idea. just imagine how fun it would be with your friends. my mates and i were planning on doing it last year but rented out a house with 6 mates instead and f*cked sh*t up really good.

still love to do it one day. i will.

Road trips are fun, but you really need a lot of discipline behind the wheel.

I've been on a couple of short-ish road trips. But I havent found anyone i could really stand to be in a car with for more then a hour with out wanting to pulling over, drag out of the car, and proceed to kick the living crap out of...... Im a little anti-social lol

But some of the better ones we have been on have been pretty mad. Mostly alcohol fueled mayhem.... Such as tryin to hit the car behind us with beer cans...
