Just came back from the road trip.
Drove about 6000 km in two weeks with two kids in the back.
Went from Vancouver to San Francisco, LA, Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, back to San Fran and back to Vancouver.
Missed the Grand Canyon unfortunately.
Was a nice drive, with the longest stretch at about 16 hours with just fuel stops.
Car made it through ok but I found out that seats were not comfy for such a long drive. Had to buy one of those gel things to stick under the butt.
Did the oil change after the trip and will probably was the dead bugs of the car this weekend.
Should have called me, and come hang out with us!!! We did a similar trip (2500 miles) for our spring break. 6 people in car, 21 cubic feet roof box. Instead of Vancouver, we did Mexico too on our trip.
