Across our great Country.
So which CD's would you bring along, and if you had a DVD player for passengers... suggestions?
-
MT go get some un abridged Books on tape or CD. We drove up to WA state this summer. 15 hours. My GF would not let me listen to my music so the trip up was 10 hours of country and 3 hours of 80s music, lol 2 hours of mine while she slept.
It was HORIBLE!! seemed like we where driving for years.
The trip home was 12 hours of an un abridged book on CD, it was SOO much better, the last two hours was back to country, but what can you do?
-
Anything by Bob seager.
Allman Bro's band
Led Zepllen Physical graffity
And when you want to mello out Sarah Mclauchlin
-
Johnny Cash

Folsom Prison
All the albums he did for Def American.

greatful dead
clapton
more clapton
maybe some paul simon
and some more clapton
for long road trips ( I do 'm regularly for work) I highly recomend getting a cd player that reads mp3 discs. or if your car stereo doesn't play them then get a mp3 discman or I-pod with the audiobug (it broadcasts your player over an fm chanle)
aside from the 10 hours or so of custom music per disc. you can store 10 albums on a disc so you aren't jugling discs and flipping through the cd cases at 80 mph. also your original cd's stay home, safe from car breakins.

I drove from the Bay Area to Chicago alone, and before leaving bought a box set of Monty Python. Was like 4 hours of tape and way worth it.

2 1/2 or 3" dyno max turbos through decent headers. 2 chamber flowmasters are fine too for a roadster..

Will this be a one vehicle trip or a bleeding heart liberal convoy? :D
I am told liberals enjoy listening to Peter, Paul and Marys "Puff The Magic Dragon And Other Greatest Hits CD". :rofl
If you care to plan your trip with some good listening in mind, I would recommend checking this site out :

-
May I suggest you make your own CD's if you have a burner? Just make several "best of.." and "My favorites..." CD's to listen to out of your home stock.
But IMO there's a lot to be said for listening to the different stations as you drive cross country. While much of the music formats are the same (can't escape Clear Channel) there is some local culture to be enjoyed as you listen to the DJ's and discussions as you drive through the different states. Opinions on issue will differ (somethimes greatly) as you travel from one region to another.

That was cruel Dago...but I still love ya.

Richard Wagner's(pronounced Ree-kard Vahg-ner) "Ring of the Niebelungen". 15 hours of classic, psuedo-nordic mythologial opera at it's finest.
For DVD, I recommend "Ken Burns Civil War" and "The World at War".
For a fun DVD, try "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World".

MT, I live in Rochester, MN, just 45 minutes east from I35. If you want, I could meet you for lunch or something in Owatonna, MN. which is right on I-35.
I'm serious, would be fun to do lunch. If you want to set something up, email me at jdahlen@us.ibm.com

Dago, Owatonna would be about equidistant for you coming from Lakeville and me coming from Rochester. We could take MT out for lunch, and meet each other for the first time, too! :)

Much as I appreciate the offers guys, I won't be alone. The wife and 2 of 4 kids will be with me. We plan on pushing the drive to our destination (Big Bay Michigan), and then enjoying the drive home.
If you want to e-mail me we might be able to at least say howdy on the drive home.
-
Well, if you have the wife along, you better stop at the Mall of America, you won't be far from it. (couple miles). Women love that dang place. Get a room at a nearby hotel (walking distance), there are some good restaurants, and stretch them legs.

2 8-Tracks of march music.

Never understood the Mall thing, especially from Midwesterners. My buddy from Wyoming always takes his wife straight to the mall when they are in town.
Are malls rare back there? Can't swing a dead cat without breaking a food court stool around here.
-
slap a upper (you-per) on the forehead for me MT
:D
-
Naw, Malls are everywhere, but some women just go apeshxt over a big one. I dont see it myself, when I go to a store, its go in, get what I want, get out.
