Not like “oh man I’m driving four hours to get to Fernie” road trips but like a “I’m in the backseat of the family van and it smells like suitcases and I have my favourite pillow scrunched between the cracked leather seat and the windows and I’m staring at those black dots along the windows edge because why are those there? And its also 5:00am in Revelstoke and we’re about to stop at the borderline satirically named ‘La Baguette‘ for breakfast and the sun isn’t fully up but you can see the mountains”
Road trip. You know. One of those!

this might be a personal one but like just a tinge of throwup in the air bc one of your siblings got sick and your dad didnt pull over in time last year and no matter how many times the car’s been washed the smell refuses to come off

Road trip

I love windscreen time. It’s therpeutic. I live on a farm in ohio but do a lot of work in New York.Sometimes I’ll drive. I listen to books. I treat myself to a two cheeseburger meal at McDonald’s.I have a little air cooled 911 and planning a 2500 mile road trip in it to a friends wedding in July. There’s something about bonding with a machine that I love. I love the smell of oil and gas and manually rowing through gears on beautiful byways. Stress drops away and it’s meditative for me.

Road trips

nothing has ever been more about the journey than the destination. Blasting music, talking about anything and everything, pulling over for random landmarks and dinner at Waffle House.
Give me the entire world through a car window as long as somebody else is driving.

Road trip movies

I’ve got a big list of road trip movies that I’m tryna knock out. There’s a lot of titular road trip movies I haven’t seen: National Lampoon, Almost Famous, Fear and Loathing, etc. I realized though that if the definition of a road trip movie expands to being about getting from point A to point B, then so many more movies can fit under that. Like it’s not just Thelma and Louise, but like Mad Max: Fury Road, or Brüno. The SpongeBob Movie. I just watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for the first time; that might be objectively the best one.Another related thing I’m obsessed with at the moment: fonts designated for road signage. Highway Gothic in particular is incredible. I’m not crazy about the other font, Clearview, though; a bit too round for me. Those are both the American fonts, though. I just went to Europe for the first time recently, and Transport — the font used for most UK/EU signage — blows both of these out of the water.
