The idea that food and water didn't make this list (granted, it was about prepping the car) is more than a little ridiculous.

Six months? With months of side-trips, sure. But as a single trip, itself, it's a comfortable week. Two weeks if you take smaller highways and "stop" often. Beyond that - you're filling whatever amount you choose with (non-driving) sights and activities.

Shouldn't this be number two?

A cross-country drive is stressful in and of itself. If you take the time to make sure your car isn't an additional source of worry, I can guarantee you'll have a much better time.

4.) Have Spare Parts Specific To Your Car

7.) Bring A Compass

The last thing you want on a cross-country drive is to be stuck on the side of the highway with a flat tire and no spare because you needed the room to pack all your stuff. Bring tire plugs and tire goo to help out in a pinch.

I don't understand pro drifting - especially not when rally combines, and has always combined, drifting with some actual purpose.

Actually, I only started by pointing out that you saying "we cannot assume" was just as sloppy, and pretentious.

Why? Why is that so important? I assume if you read a piece about cracking down on meth labs, you'd want to know where they got their beakers and Bunsen burners, and what brand of gas mask they used?

Annnnnnnnd still not getting my point.

Agreed. Except the idea of a 1/2 ton RWD pickup making a nice winter vehicle. In climates where it actually snows - a 90/10 front/rear weight distribution and rear wheel drive is just.... well, a poor choice. (And the "solution" of putting bricks or sand in the bed to help balance the distribution is wasteful,

You still refuse to see my point.

Nice. I think brown exteriors also look good with a two-tone black and brown interior scheme.

"Standard Configuration: Regular cab, rear-wheel drive, 6.5" bed.

Oddly enough, a lot of those luxury cars are 4 wheel drive...

Will it still have only 160hp? I think it's less "offroad", and more "equipped with a roof bin and some stickers."

I'll bet he'll be popular in prison.
