    Being it is so smooth, one should make a high speed pass version, as if going 350 - 500 mph through the mountain/desert route, with real time stops.

    Nicely Done.

    But do include what all gear was used, Thanks'

    @Philscbx: Wide-angle lens + high camera mounting makes it look smooth. I didn't feel like drilling firewall holes for the camera cables in my daily driver, so didn't mount it race-car style in the grille.

    Though I must ask, is that a hood ornament on the Civic?

    I have a 3500 mile road trip in August from Quebec to Oregon. Any must sees/avoids ? I don't know how anyone does road trips in Civics, I couldn't drive mine two hours without getting back spasms. I now have a much less reliable but much more comfortable black hatchback which I hope makes it West and back...

    @Marquis de Saab: I did a stint from Greenville, SC to Sebring, FL stopping only for gas in a DX with the 15D, averaged 46 mpg (A/C humming) and about 73 mph. I think it was about 9 hours worth of seat time each way, for a long weekend. That was a '92, and the seats weren't terrible.


    Gave up the Civic, though. Too modern, too pedestrian. ;-)

    Murilee,

    A little off topic, but what kind of camera is that? And when you say cheap, how cheap? I'll be making a 6000 mile coast to coast meander in August, and something like this could be just the ticket for documenting it.

    @wannabewannabe: It's a generic Sony CCD-based lipstick camera and a DXG-521 DVR. I can't find that seller on eBay now, but the deal was something a bit over 200 bucks. Of course, that DVR is a fragile, temperamental piece of crap and I don't recommend it, but the camera has survived grille placement in several LeMons races and still works great.

    How much did it cost you in gas?

    The soundtrack works best for the US-50 portions of the trip.


    Oh, and by the way, the soundtrack is awesome. It's kinda like Oval meets Autechre meets Man or Astroman. You should sell it; no lie.
