Default Driving Giants -READ

FG mobile command post on the road.. Time: 12:35 EST. JeeUm, HuckinHax0r, and Biff. Just passing exit 170 on I-77 West Va. Temp is 40 Degree's and Biff isn't happy. The Hemi is humming along @ 16 MPG...

Remember the days when an airplane flying road trip, case of beer, two packs of smokes???
Now it's Dodge Hemi, 2 computer geeks and Biff. So far we've talked to everybody with a cell phone already @ Toldeo. We got word that MadMax booked his flight for the wrong day. Now we have to pick him up @ 6:15AM, an hour after arriving in Toledo after an all nighter drive!!!

In the 4 hours and 46 mins we've been driving we've discussed every airplane every made.. EVER!

Once again Biif's getting pissy because the further north we get the less green the trees are, that's if there's any leaves on them.

JeeUm's pissy because starbucks was closed and we was unable to get his $5 cup of coffee.

ROAD TRIP NOTE...
Don't buy burger king apple pie expecting it to be taco'esque like McDonalds. JeeUm's truck smells like a yankee candle!

West Va very mountainous but the Hemi is handling it nicely!

My 14 hour deoderant is starting to wear off. At this point we are welcoming any topics you can send! Any questions from the outside world??? HELP!! PLEASE REPLY!

see the pictures..

Just got an update from Toledo.. a bunch of intoxicated yahoos are calling Biff's cell. 34 degrees.. BIFF's really pissed!!! He still has shorts and short sleves on! Getting ready to gas and recoffee. Will post pics shortly. Texx.. come meet us at the ohio river, you puss! Cleveland. 140 miles.
JeeUm: "Stale PopTarts SUCK!"
HuckinHax0r still wants to play "I spy with my little eye" in the dark. I spy something black!
If JeeUm sings row row row your boat one more time i'm kicking him out of the truck, I don't care if he's driving. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
JeeUm's only seeing doubles, the coffee refuel will fix that. JeeUm says he's going to kick max square in the junk. See picture later.

Highlight of the trip so far. ShortBus isn't with us

Tip to pass the time.... 20 foot piece of string tied to the back bumper...Foamie tied to the string. see how it will hold up at 70 MPH. How good are you reflexes????

33 Degrees. Biff's Livid!! Just coffeed up. Jeeum got white choclate caremel cream.
Huck got gatorade and oreo's. Biff purchased seal hunting gear, survival blanket, and a pack of matches. Also a large cup of coffee that he dumps half of on his head and soaking his feet in the other half now. We're 45 miles from canton. Jeeum wants to go skydiving.. not, last time(his third jump) he had a "near fatal" injury. He broke his arm.. you big wimp!

conversation is getting thin, temper is flaring. Guys you've gotta post some more!

JeeUm's realizing prepackaged sandwatches and coffee isn't a good combo. Looks like he'll have a 4th golden turd to show max in a few hours.

Biff is frantically searching for a bluegrass station.. He's lost!

Question? If you put a 40% airplane on top of one of JeeUm's tires @ 70 MPH will it take off?

Sounds like its time for some serious bench racin. Tell each other how hard you gunna Huck it next time out etc and how you will out hover,roll etc you co drivers. Maybe how big a fish your gunna catch or how many pheasnt or Bob white your gunna shoot. You get the idea.
