1.\tDrive Cross country in a Pre-1980’s car<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is something that I think every red-blooded American male must do at some point in his lifetime. The reason for a pre-1980\u2019s car is simple, no computers, no fuel injection and no techno-weenies to let anyone know where the fuck you are\u2026 It\u2019s just you, the car and 3000 miles of super slab.<\/p>\n

2.\tParticipate in the 24 Hours of LeMons<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A $500 car, a racetrack, 4 teammates and 24 hrs. of pissing your pants cause you\u2019re laughing so hard. THIS IS A MUST for any car nut!
\n<\/span>
\n3. \tDrive the Pacific Coast Highway from Top to Bottom<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Start in Olympic National Park in Washington State and run all the way down to San Diego, CA. Along the way you\u2019ll hit some of the most memorable scenery imaginable. Coos Bay in Oregon, Redwood National Park, Big Sur, San Fran, LA and San Diego\u2026 trust me on this one, it\u2019s an experience you\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n

4.\tAttend the Concours d\u2019Elegance<\/a> at Pebble Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hell, you can do this one on your way down the coast. The Concours de\u2019Elegance at Pebble Beach is THE premier car show on the planet Earth. You will only see the best of the best here\u2026 Posers need not apply.
\n
\n5. \tRun in the Silver State Challenge<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wanna\u2019 go fast\u2026 well then, here\u2019s your chance. \u201cThe journey traverses 90 miles of two lane highway, with long straights, twisty sections, and dips, which for the faster participants, may result in an airborne experience. The cars are run in classes at five mile per hour increments, from 95 mph to 180 mph\u201d \u2013 You\u2019d better bring your \u201cA\u201d game to this one.<\/p>\n

6. \tDrive Flat out on the Autobahn<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What kid in their right mind hasn\u2019t fantasized about doing this? All you need to do is ship your ride to the UK, drive to Germany, find the Autobahn and hit the go-fast pedal. Go as fast as you can and when you see God\u2026 brake.
\n
\n7. \tRun in the One Lap of America<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 8 days, 5000 miles and some of the fastest street legal cars on the planet going from raceway to raceway. Why? Well shit\u2026 if you don\u2019t know the answer to that question you have no business being behind the wheel of a car.
\n
\n8.\tRun the Mille MIglia<\/a>
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This classic Italian Road Race is one of the most famous open road rallies in history, taking place 24 times between 1927-1957. I REALLY want to do this, however, I have a problem. You see in order to run in the Mille Miglia you need to have a car built between 1927-1957 and that ran some part of the race over that 30-year period\u2026 like I said, this could be a problem.<\/p>\n

9.\tTake part in La Carrera Panamericana<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok\u2026 take 100 cars of all vintage and origin. Line them up somewhere in Mexico, wave the green flag and have them race ballz-out to the Texas border while the Mexican Highway Patrol closes down all the roads for you. ARE YOU KIDDING!! Hell YEA I\u2019ll be doing this. <\/p>\n

10.\tRun the Texas Mile<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like the website says: 3 Days, 1 Mile & No Speed Limit\u2026 now SACK-UP and start building that car\u2026 <\/p>\n
