I like everything about this except the "being in the USA" part.

So, back in 2009, I lived in a tour bus touring with big acts like Linkin Park, Pearl Jam and guys like that. Well, we did a little stint with Madonna and we went from LA, straight to NYC, down to Miami and straight back to LA in I think about a week. It was one of the most brutal on road experiences I've ever had to endure for 4 shows. I was on a really sweet fully decked out tour bus too, so it was the best case scenario. It gave me a new appreciation for how motherfucking vast my country is. However, I would NOT recommend the experience.

I did get to meet Spike Lee and Chris Cornell in Miami tho and even had birthday cake with Justin Timberlake while in NYC. It was his birthday and he was doing a music thing inside our bus. He sat right next to me at the front of the bus and we talked about Pink Floyd. Super nice guy. It was a pretty wild week.

Whilst in all about road trips this fool better be driving at 1500mph to make these times

Mach 2 is very reasonable. Gillette makes a Mach 3.

Haha yes!

I remember travelling to family in Canada and asking if we could go to Disneyland. In Florida.

I would skip Florida. You won't miss much.

It takes like a week to drive from NY to CA.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (6 children)

Realistically 4 days with ~12 hour drives will get you there including lunch and gas stops.

Something like NY - Toledo - Omaha - SLC - SF
