[QUOTE="virginiafiveo, post: 11288441, member: 39103"] I second the crown vic cop car. but hell, your talking 1000 dollar car, and a drive from LA to washington DC is like 2700 miles, don't know the gas mileage of those cars but with no traffic and all that you are looking at a minimum of 500 dollars for gas alone, let alone the intelligent oil change and fluid check prior to taking off, not to mention most POS cars like that have shit for tires on them, either bald or really low quality or horrible dry rot. oh, and don't forget the time to get it registered, and I don't know if cali has an inspection requirement for newly purchased vehicles or not. 2 man teams can be done, but you are going to need food and monsters/5 hours. it adds up quickly, plus tolls, flat tires, or other problems. I would want the vehicle heavily vetted before I took off on the road. but big and comfy would definitely be a necessity. and I would recommend early spring because of the slightly warmer but not ungodly in the desert in the event your AC breaks or doesn't work, and easier on the car being a cooler temp as well. and I would have to second, what's the prize, cause a cold beer and a pizza wouldn't cut it. I'd rather drive my cobra both directions without a second thought though. remember to carry a few extra fuel cans if the race is that important, make one stop worth much more. my other thought would be a suburban or the like with plenty of inside room and a huge gas tank, not to mention the other benefits of a truck over most cars. my pops 350 suburban, I want to say a 99 had a 44 gallon gas tank and he said it got around 20 or 21.
