i am dead serious about this trip, too.
we just drove to fucking colorado springs for my best friends wedding, and since i was a groomsmen there was no chance to go skiing.
the drive to utah isnt that bad at all, hella easy in fact. i think we made it in like fucking 12 hours from the south bay area.
i dunno about vehicles though.
my car is a piece of shit, but i am hoping my parents would lend me the mini van. kinda lame but fucking whatevs. its got room and its not ghetto.
