US Roadtrip - Woodside, NY to St. Louis, MO
In the summer of 2007, five Irish students flew from San Diego, California to Queens, New York, where they would buy four tonnes of early 1990s scrap metal from a Puerto Rican man for the fine sum of $1,200, worth a lot more at the time than it is now, let me tell you.
These four tonnes of scrap metal came in the form of a Dodge Ram 250, born in Detroit, Michigan in 1992, and christened "Maureen" in rural New Jersey some 15 years later. Boasting a 6.0L engine, state-of-the-art surround sound and a staggering collection of unused (or so we'd like to have thought) flavoured condoms, Maureen would become a loyal servant, a friend and a soulmate for us all.

Very well done you guys! There is nothing better than a road trip! I can say that from my own experience too. I've been across Australia and I loved it!
I'm going to Europe now and then I'll make it to USA! Your video kinda helped me to have an idea of what I'll find. Gave it 5 stars cause you deserved it and no video on youtube ever got my attention for nearly 30min.
Cheers
Alessandra

Really? There you have it, there was a crash on the interstate that day, it took us about 10 hours to get from the Ohio state border to Indianapolis, it was crazy.
