I will be moving to Houston TX and coming from CT, the distance is around 1774 miles and I am planning to break it down to two days driving. I never driving cross country before so this is the first time I really get to know my TL, I will try to taking pics as going through each state so stay tune for update.

 

When do you move?

 

I am heading out tomorrow morning.

 

Safe travels!

 

Woot!

Welcome to the H-town family!

Good luck

 

Have a safe trip!!!

 

nice!

 

Was on 3 cross country roadtrips in my tsx covering 42 states

 

Have fun, I drove my TL from San Diego, to Jacksonville, then up the east coast to Maine all within a week. It was a blast, The TL is such a comfortable highway cruiser. I was averaging 31MPG most of the time.

 

^^^^ Yikes, that's a hell of a drive.


Dude, safe travels, for sure.

 

thanks for all the cheer up but this is my first time driving long distance, I got to H town around 9:35 (local time) tired and I will up load shitty pics up tomorrow.

 

glad you made it safe. Wish i took more cross country pictures but then again i was short on time.

 

troungthe!!!!!!!!! you've made it JustNtime!!!
cars and coffee on the 3rd and then indoor go karting!!

 

welcome to Houston

 

Title if this thread needs to change... Pics er what?

 

^^^ Agreed.....

 

 

dam you guys. I need time to rest and put shit back together but anyway here is the pics.
Sorry about the shitty photo skill and all the pics is taken with Iphone 4 during driving.


in CT early morning



hit Tapanzee bridge



PA u suck big ball, I got stuck here for 1 1/2 hours standing still. So much for the good MPG I achieved.



moving again in PA.



just cross into state of MD





hit West VA and the gas price was socking to me lol.





long ass drive in VA but the scenery was beautiful.



saw my CT fellow also moving and I just wave at him after that. I saw many CT plate moving down south either in car, car and Uhaul trailer or Penske truck



gas price in VA they also have a promotion going on every Friday when premium is same price as mid-grade.



Tennessee welcome you!



my MID showing range for alittle less than a tank full.




Knoxville TN my windshield is dirty as hell from juicy bug.





its time to end day one of driving.



Beautiful big lake in Chattanooga TN.






cross into GA





Hey how come that guy does not have a plate? lol obviously its a military convoy. In AL









my first encounter with a 3rd gen TL.



near outskirt of Birmingham AL





welcome to Mississpoor, I felt very unsecure when travel through this state. I only stop to use the rest room and I felt much safer if I had a 9 mm on me. The name I giving this state because the whole state is some what poorer than all the state I had been to.



No cop patrol the highway in Mississippi = 85-90 mph



open road = destroy your MPG





crazy driver some how manage to flip a FWD car.



open road again



almost out of Mississippi last exit into NASA space center.



crossing the bridge in Baton Rouge LA









in LA



a series of long bridge over swamp land and a lake in LA prior entering Lafayette.













crossing lake Charles LA















0.3 mile left of LA territory and will cross into TX state line.







Finally good old Houston down town appear on the horizon I always flew in never got to experience the view from driving in via I-10 interstate.






Accident on I-10 and I was like "you got to be kidding me" but then I remember that I m in H town where there always a road that run parallel to the interstate but for local stop.




All of this crap has to fit inside my TL and I hope my MPG is good.










after two days of driving.






Notice added:

1. Speed limit increase from 65mph to 70 mph after crossing into West VA.

2. I was doing 90-120 mph in TN trying to get to Chattanooga and I wasn't alone there are two more car was going at that speed, one has FL and the other has GA plate. I was hoping that no deer coming out since we travel at that speed.

3. I could swing by Atlanta GA but choose not to since its will cost me another 50 miles extra.

4. he two state I don't like the most is PA and MS.

5. Speed limit of TX is 75 mph (I love TX already)

6. most southern people I encounter speaking in southern accent is some what nicer than people living in the north.

7. The entire trip cost me 5 gas tanks FULL. 1st fill up in PA, 2nd fill up in VA, 3rd fill up in TN, 4th fill up in AL and last fill up in LA. looks like the magic number to get good MPG is around 75-80mph any thing higher than that then your MPG will plunge. BTW I have cargo fill the trunk and interior of the car along with AC on at ALL time and yet still get 28 MPG gotta love this out date SOCH motor.

 

Everything looks great. Glad you made it safe
28 MPG is pretty well as well

You didn't say hi to Elvis Presley?
I felt the same thing at Mississippi

 

^^^thank I actually listen to my XM radio and one of his song came on as I hit Knoxville TN.

 

woot!! woot!!
again, glad you got here!

 

Awesome road trip, sir!

 

felt like i was riding shotgun with you the whole time.

nice report!

 

thanks everyone, and Crabman when is the car and coffee again? I think I can't make it since my new job require to work on Sat at least 5 hours.

 

Nice road trip sir!!!
