^^^I've been to OC, NJ but never in MD. Will have to consider it next time.


As for the current roadtrip, I came prepared!

Default Going home

Reality sets in and vacation is over but driving the NX makes the journey back home a pleasure.




Starting our trip home at 4am with a Wawa coffee and snacks.




On the Garden State Parkway in NJ.




Crossing through downtown Philly. Love the lack of traffic at 5AM.




Approaching the Lehigh Tunnel.




In the Lehigh Tunnel.




one of many tolls coming up!




Our first pit stop.




On our way...driving by Syracuse.




On our way... driving by Rochester.




Our final pit stop, about 30 miles from the border.




Crossed the border in a record 2 minutes, now just an hour away from home.




Arrived home! Big brother IS waiting impatiently in the garage, ready to drive out!

Yeah, great photos and I enjoyed the commentary too. Thanks for sharing..

The only problem is, it's giving me the itch for a road trip and we just got back from vacation 3 weeks ago!

Great pictures and looks like a nice trip! Yeah DC drivers are pretty chill...people here think they aren't but they need to experience drivers in other cities lol

This was going to be my question, ever been to Ocean City, MD corrado? I've never been to Wildwood, NJ but I have been told that Wildwood and Ocean City are very similar. I've literally been to Ocean City, MD every summer since I've been alive.

Isn't it ironic how HUD is not available in the US, but only has US speed limits?

Thanks for sharing the pics of your trip and of "Darth". Such a beautiful car. I haven't been able to take a major trip so far this year as I am building up my vacation time with the new job that I started back in January. I'm itching to get on the road too! Planning a trip to Arizona and Utah with the family in mid-January!

You may want to rethink the bolded statement. This is a public forum and this can read multiple ways, one of them, that is bound to attract vitriol from some.

I'm surprised you only drive 65 on highway
I just came back from LA and rented a car there, when i go on highway and drive at 65 the cars behind me keep honking me and give me fingers
Then i decide to let my cousin drives it, he cruised at 83 and cars nearby just keep passing us
