    About to start another 1000 miles trip

    At the beginning of the year I went to my hometown 1000 miles away and drove my car of course, I had no issues at all so now I am going again this coming weekend. 2/3rds of the trip is thru the USA I-10 and 1/3 thru Mexico roads.

    The only difference this time is that I recently bought a R/C quadcopter with a camera (not HD or anything) but the videos are pretty decent.
    Since this is a pleasure trip I plan to stop a couple of times and fly my quadracopter up in the sky and record the landscape. I am not a very good pilot so don't know how long its going to last before I break something and can't longer fly it.

    I am building a bigger quadcopter from scratch that will be able to carry my HD handycam, however, the parts I ordered didn't get on time before the trip. Still, it must be funny. Even if the quadcopter gets damaged I can still use the remote control camera and attach it to the car while I drive and record the trip from unusual angles. Let's see what happen.

    OMG! It's a spy drone!!! Fly that thing over Area 51 for us and find out what's really going on there okay?

    Seriously though, have fun on your trip.

    This made me realize that none of our cars can go on a road trip! Have fun with the drone, I always see them at car shows and they're pretty dope.

    Speaking of road trips, back in September, we took my Accord on a 5 state road trip over 3000 miles. SF Bay Area, Crater Lake, Ontario OR, Spokane WA, Glacier Natl Pk MT and home. Car ran great.
