Rode a bike to see how far I could go. My longest day was around the Santa Ana mountains between Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego Counties. I've ridden all the way around those mountains. My computer went dead at 176 miles but the trip was around 220.
I moved 2k miles across the country one time because of my highschool sweetheart, just to give it a chance. She was not acceptable to my folks for stupid cultist religion reasons.
Not really in the not allowed section, but I had this hotrod camaro that was my little project. I had to move back across country and leave it with a friend. It needed a motor. I worked for a machine shop, built a motor, got a cheap car, tossed the motor in the passenger seat and drove 2k miles. Put the new motor in and sorted out all the kinks on the 2k mile drive back home. I definitely couldn't do something like that as a kid
What did the first leg of the journey accomplish that installing the new motor at the outset and driving 1k miles each way would not?
They drove the first 2k to bring the motor to the vehicle they left behind.
Then they installed the motor into the vehicle they left behind and drove the newly assembled project car back 2k miles, working out the kinks as they travelled
😁
Ah thanks, on the first read through I missed that there were two cars.
