All top gear road trips. Specially in eastern europe. And around alps because of NFS 5 game.

@ericpaul7898 Год назад

I took a solo trip last April from Calgary to San Diego in my 2010 Mazda 3. It was amazing. Did a straight run there in 24hrs taking note of what I wanted to see on the way back. My goal was to escape the canadian winter and swim in the southern Californian ocean (60 degrees and raining when I got there). Kind of the reverse of your trip. I took 5 days on the way back. I live an hour from Banff and forget how lucky I am but driving through Arizona was equally spectacular to me. It literally brought me to tears to have an opportunity to see such amazing scenery (the whole trip was a bday gift from my wife). I completely agree that people should just hit the road and enjoy themselves. I hope to do a run to the arctic but want to drive to Tuktoyaktuk on the the new all season road that heads all the way to the Ocean.

Your description of the Haul Road is spot on. Went up there with enclosed auto transporter retrieving Audi test vehicles in May about 8 years ago. We were among the last trucks to make it out before the snow melt washed out the road. Glad I did it. Don't want to do it again. You told it well.

@MoaRReloads Год назад

I can’t agree more to go out and do stuff! There’s so much out there to see and minimal time to see it all! Beginning of July this year. I drove my Lexus from Indiana to Tuktoyaktuk, Nortwest Territories. 4k miles one way. One great adventure to the top of the world! Coincidentally I drove south back into the US and spent a day in Colombia Falls,MT but didn’t know about SWAE then! The LS was a tank on the off Road section (Dempster hwy) only needed a new windshield now! I saw the most amount wildlife on this trip aswell. Was seeing bears every 5 minutes on the road at one point! Plenty of moose and Bison! We were gone 12 days and the LS was running for 7.6 days! All with 200k miles! Great trip Ed! Wish I had the extra time to visit Alaska, that just means I have to go back!

@spiercephotography Год назад

Wow, looks like an amazing drive, look at that wildlife! What a fun/special time for all of you.

@andrewb325 Год назад

I did this same trip from Florida to Alaska in a Focus ST on Blizzaks. It is epic.

@mrtim5363 Год назад

Yes!! This is how it's done. Epic! 4wd/off road gear/support staff. That's cheating. Did a Civic CRX & Civic Del-Sol on Blizzaks & drove past 4x4s in the ditch.

@bwofficial1776 Год назад

That's awesome that the truckers were cool with you guys on the radio. Two orange Porsches is surely a rare sight and they were probably happy you guys were having fun.

It was such a thrill getting to go to SWAE Day last year, and I HATE that I couldn't make it again this year to see y'all off! This trip has been a delight to follow on Instagram, and I'm glad you made it there and back without any major setbacks! Kudos and CONGRATULATIONS!

@zmarko Год назад

This drive is on my bucket list. When is the next CarTrek coming?

@woodyholland9865 Год назад

The part about the northern lights brought back a good memory. I was flying from Stockholm to Düsseldorf one night and the pilot announced the northern lights were out the starboard windows. They look totally amazing from 30,000 feet and no pollution from man! Will never forget that sight.

@theveyron164 Год назад

This happened to me in March of this year! Overnight flight from east coast to Iceland and pilot wakes everyone to look over on the left side of the plane. It was absolutely stunning, and something I'll never forget.

@sladeb6036 Год назад

I can't even imagine how awesome that was. I'm in Texas an have never seen them in person.

@willmtaylor Год назад

Can someone please explain to me ExAcTlY what SWAE actually is/does is layman's terms? Honestly, every time Ed--and I love Ed--talks about them, it seems like a load of marketing jargon for some type of #influencer pyramid scheme or the fever dream of a trust fund kid who has more money than ideas. (To be clear, I'm NOT insinuating that they're either of those things, that's just how the ambiguity reads on this side of the camera.)

@heck-e Год назад

This video made me wanna go drive :)

@lunra Год назад

I saw one of the SWAE Cayennes (I don't think it had a number) and exchanged a wave with the driver at the Alzeda, Montana gas station on my way home from a South Dakota vacation on September 4th. My first thought was that it reminded me of the CarTrek Cayenne.

@hankperkins6015 Год назад

My girlfriend and I just got back from a 3500 mile run from AL to Colorado in my Jeep. We did multiple trails including a run up Mt Antero where we had to turn around at 13,200 due to rain and sleet. This included a wicked shelf road where we were about 18 inches from a 1000 foot drop. It was intense. The trip was fantastic. My first real road trip in decades. I am 65 and my girlfriend is 60. Never stop experiencing adventure. It’s what keeps us young.

The ASCC only does 2 weekends a year at Tanacross on Memorial Day and Labor Day. (The rack surface is HARSH. Might as well drive on a cheese grater!)

In '08 I bought a '94 Geo Metro for $400 and drove it with my dad from Reno to Anchorage Alaska. We explored Alaska for a week in it and then sold it and we flew home. Only breakdown was I replaced the water pump in the Anchorage Napa auto parts parking lot. Was a great adventure!

@Luke_NorseSpeed Год назад

Oh wow, a trip to the top of Alaska! I've made that trip three times since 2015 in my 2013 VW diesel wagon, including up the haul road, top of the world twice, and Prince Rupert as a side trip. You should have taken the Top of the World Highway through Chicken into Dawson City.

Sounds like a lot of prep for a road trip. Several years ago the author John Sandford [ John Camp] and a couple of his buddies made that drive from the Twin Cities on a lark. Actually it was in a fairly new pick up. Sorry, bad joke. I believe they took longer to do it and I don't recall what time of the year.

I still have no idea what SWAE does or who they are and they seem like a very sketchy company I won't be surprised if they start offshore powerboat racing. These types of "companies" always seem to have tons of money but it's difficult to figure out how they make it. reminds me of Huski Chocolate, they have the money to sponsor soccer teams, hockey teams, Indy car, F1, and offshore powerboat racing and they make a hot chocolate machine for ski resorts and hotels and chocolate drink you've never heard of.
