las vegas-philly pics

I promised these awhile ago, but I was busy for the wedding so I’m just getting around to putting them up. Thanks to my buddy Eric for bringing his camera. Here we go, in chronological order…

The Penske truck with the car on the back. It was really long and hard to drive in tight spots. This is when we were still in the Penske lot in Las Vegas, just getting ready to go.

Headed out of Nevada towards Kingman, AZ/US-40.

Probably the fastest/nicest car we saw … a Porsche Turbo.

Texan wind energy.

A huge cross in Texas.

Our bug collection builds…

Obv we needed a trucker hat in order to get across the country.

Another huge cross. These things must be everywhere.

We drove by a few ATMs strapped on the back of a truck. Unfortunately they weren’t spewing money.

Me driving, I think on the last day.

Possibly the best license plate/car combo we saw.

Heading across the Ohio River into Wheeling, West Virginia. We were in WV for all of about 10 or 11 miles.

Me in the trucker hat doing my best “i’m a dumb trucker” pose. Not that I think all truckers are dumb. A lot of them are hard-working and intelligent individuals. But there are also a ton of asshole truckers out there who are dumb as hell — we ran across a bunch of them. So I don’t feel too bad.

The trip computer for the whole thing. 61 mph isn’t great, but we couldn’t go too fast in the Penske. It has a 75 mph speed limiter on it that slowed us down a bunch of times.

Anywho, it was a fun trip. That being said, I don’t want to do it again.

This might be a dumb question but I really like the resolution of the pictures. Do you know what model his camera was that you took these pictures with? Thanks.
