it's a car-drive it
Did 3 cross-country roadtrips in our 06 tsx. Hopefully you do not get into many heavy rain storms on the highways. Most of the chips on my car aré from driving on 95 from NC to NJ and back. Have them in front of the sunroof

make sure to check your tape everyday...sometimes the tape gets loose and comes off a lil and lets dust/sand/dirt/rocks come in and scratch your paint

that's a great tape job! I assume you're going to do the driver's mirror as well?

When on our cross-country roadtrips we tried to get pictures of our car by the Welcome state signs. The nav came in handy for changing the clock automatically in each time zone.

DUDE, awesome. What a way to end the summer. Like the "coast to coast" on the front. Can you take a picture with a buffalo??

heading out at 4am
stopped in the hills of Pennsylvania
what the front end looked like in Woodsville Ohio
about 20 min from Davenport Iowa, where we stopped for the night, there is literally nothing around. Basically this is how it looked for the past 5 hours :/ corn, corn, corn, and more corn
its dark now so i cant take any pics of the car, but we basically lost all of the lettering on the front and i have had to do some fixes here and there whenever we stopped to the tape because it rained for a little so some parts started peeling up. but other than that it was a solid day, even stopped off at notre dame to look around for the hell of it, and may i say DAYUM! what a campus! well now time for dinner and bed. was a long day. so far we have driven 970 miles. tomorrow we shall drive another 700 something miles which will put us in rapid city south dakota where we will take a 2 day stop to relax and see the sights (Mt Rushmore, etc...). Ill post some more pics tomorrow night when we get to rapid city. so far the tsx is holding up great. running perfectly and no problems (knock on wood
).

hey so here is the 2nd update. we spent the last two nights in rapid city, south dakota. yesterday we rented my dad a motorcycle for his birthday and drove all over. we went all through the black hills, the nature preserve, to sturgis, to deadwood, and up iron mountain road to mt. rushmore. let me just say that these were some of the most awesome roads i have ever driven on. Driving on iron mountain road was the most fun i have had in my tsx since i bought her 4 years ago. it had hairpins, sharp sweeping curves, hills, corkscrew bridges, and narrow one lane tunnels through solid rock. needless to say it kept a smile on my face the entire time. the tires were squealing on every turn as i pushed the tsx to its limit around the corners. plus not mention hitting vtech basicaly every 5 seconds 
today we will be driving through the badlands and going to see devils tower. then we will be heading down to denver to spend another night or two there, then its off to vegas. ok enough with the story, on to some pictures
my car and my dads bike
and as per Joe's request.....BUFFALO!!!!!!! WASSUP WASSUP!

the weather there will deter you from wanting to go back to NY.
Be safe!
