Delawhere???
Got this idea from an S2000 forum, so I thought I would see if anyone here would like to participate.

Just go to this website: http://douweosinga.com/projects/visited?region=usa

Copy and paste the HTML code, then edit it as follows:
Post only the part I have highlighted in bold in the example below, then use the appropriate img tags in front and behind the bolded part.

Here are the states I have driven my NSX in:

OK, I give up. How did you get to California, North Dakota, and Florida without passing through the states in-between? :confused:

North Dakota was the result of fat fingers on an iPad while I was sitting in the courtroom listening to the judge drone on. Car was shipped to Florida and California for NSXPOs.

Most of that was racked up by driving it home to Michigan after buying it in El Paso...ah good times.

How did you get an iPad in a courtroom?

I have never driven an NSX.
 
Cool :smile:

My NSX has been a daily driver, so I've never hesitated to take it on some long drives, like:

The first two days of ownership when it was driven from Austin, TX to Suffield, CT.

Then driven again from CT to SC when we made the move in '05 to get away from those New England winters. Relocation would have paid for enclosed transport, but wanted to drive it instead.

The trip from Columbia, SC to Orlando, FL for NSXCapades '10 with my 6YO daughter.

Road trip! From the East Coast to West Coast via the south and back again via the north. After those 11,500 trouble-free miles I put my NSX on a boat and brought it over to Europe, where I've had it for the past 15 years now.

Took me 2 miles in Florida to realize I wanted to buy the car...had it shipped to Ohio because it was late December and driving would have simply been a bad idea :biggrin:!!! But yeah, I drove it around the block around the dealership in Florida, so that counts.

Bought the car in Chicago IL, and had it delivered to Edmonton.

I claim the title -- ALL 48 contiguous states. My definition of "driving in" insists on a minimum of feet on the ground. I have filled up the gas tank, eaten a meal or stayed in nearly all of them. I've probably spent about 4 months on the road on perhaps a dozen different trips to travel in all of them.

I finished up last October with a trip to New England via South Dakota. I had intended to include SD the previous year, however the forest fires in 2009 in Yellowstone National Park closed the north and east entrances. By the time I got far enough east to hit SD I was many hundred miles north of it. This year it was just a slight detour (is any driving in the NSX a detour?) to head north instead of just going through Kansas.

At least 80% of these trips were on 2 lane roads -- why waste the tires on the interstates? It is much more fun -- and fewer cops -- on the "blue highways." I also get a much better feel for differences in different parts of the country. I also like to hit the mom & pop restaurants and off-brand motels, also. There are many more stories to tell of the different experiences this way, in my opinion. (Many overnights were with friends and family.)

I'm curious to see how many others have done this, or even come close. So far it is Greenberet that is the closest.
