Hello Vince, I just wanna say a few things: 1. I took my 2021 Supra on a 3000-mile road trip from California to Texas. Amazing and comfortable trip honestly. Had the occasional pull on the highway but like you I bought a small jack, tire patch kits, impact wrench, mobile air pump and a small tool kit. My advice is less car and drive related but more so just take your sweet as time to enjoy the scenery at certain interest points. 2. As for your content and its impact on me, you have inspired me in the process of modding my Supra in the past year or so. Been loving all the info dump and reviews. I am super satisfied with the car for what it is here in California where it's extremely annoying and difficult to mod. I am currently making 610 WHP/ 600 WTQ on Dynojet SAE on JB4 E50 + Meth with DAW Hypercore Stage 1 Turbo. This is absolutely insane as everything is still reversible while still having more room for improvement later if I decide to go FEMTO unlocked and maybe PI. California sucks but like I said, extremely happy with how the car is performing for me and without upgrading transmission/intake manifold/LPFP, this is as good as it gets while I watch your videos to witness what I know the car is capable of. Please keep doing what you do and wish you safe travels on your roadtrip!
Thanks for taking the time to respond Andy! I have a small jack at my parent's house so I just have to purchase the others. Either way, all should fit within the cared. Love reading feedback from the viewers and glad that you were able to get it to a spot that you're happy with. 610whp/610 wtq is no joke and super impressive especially since you're only on a JB4 and E50 + meth tune. Once you do a BM3 or Ecutek tune down the road along with port injection, that will really wake your setup up. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! Hoping to just continue grow the channel so I can see how far I can push the platform as a daily, whether it's on a stock motor setup or built. I've said it so many times, but I'm excited for the trip and to document the travels for you all!
You know I've taken mine across country twice now, TX - NJ and back, and TX - FL and back, and that first tip to Jersey I had my pup with me. A total of about 6k miles. Cruise control and just ride, its not super uncomfortable but take your time to get out and stretch every few hours. They really do get great gas mileage when just cruising on a long highway trip, I was able to average 33-36mpg even in the manual. Make sure you get your front end PPFd man! Bring the basics incase you do need to get something fixed on the side of the road, you got pretty much everything covered, but with how solid your car is built I can't imagine you run into any major issues. Hope you and your dad have a great trip, something I'd like to do with my dad at some point as well. Can't wait to see all the pictures along any scenic spots you come across, safe travels!
Yes I remember bro! I definitely will have a chat with you once we get closer to the dates and I'll need your help with making sure I didn't miss anything lol
I drove my supra from Tishomingo MS to Chattanooga TN (4 hours) Then from Chattanooga TN to Gatlinburg TN (5 hours Took a scenic route) then back home (6 hours) so about 15 hours of driving. It was a great roadtrip! A little tight with trunk space but I was able to fit all my clothes, drone, and camera gear. I also brought a low profile jack, portable air compressor, a peice of wood to drive over just in case I needed to jack up the car (low life) and a tire patch kit! Definetly take a break every fill up lol my back started hurting a little but I enjoyed driving the car on the roadtrip!
Wow! That's a fun drive. The Gatlinburg route was super nice. I went with my family right before COVID got crazy in 2020. All of your stuff was able to fit without cramming it all in the trunk? The piece of wood is a good idea. I'll add that to my list since low profile ramps won't fit lmfao glad to read that it went well for you! Appreciate the tips!
@@VinceChristmastree all of it fit! I did have to put my pillows on top of the trunk cover on either side so I can still see through my rear view mirror lol Yessir I love the content!
Vince that road trip is going to be INSANE!!! I can only imagine the amount of beautiful things you'll see/encounter! Btw I feel ya on the max google waypoints lol that is so me haha! When I'm on a road trip, i'm a want to see it all typa guy ya know! But fr SO SICK! I took a pic of your route so that maybe I can do the same in my supra one day 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes! I can't wait! I'm brainstorming already on how I will get the best clips for the videos, whether it's my drone or setting my camera up on a tripod for the b-roll. It's going to be a content overload so I hope y'all are ready for that! That's my dad, we weren't planning on going to Banff, but he was like "let's just see it since we are north anyway" so here we are LOL. Yeah once we get closer to August, I'll post up the itinerary for you all so if you would like to copy it, feel free!
Nice! Thanks Jimmy! When do you plan on making that drive? Should be a freaking awesome time with beautiful scenery that we lack here in the central US lol I'll hit you up!
@@VinceChristmastree I’m leaving on may 21st. Will make a road trip video on my channel. Going thru the redwoods and Big Sur (whatever is open, which is not a lot.) I’ll see you in September!
Yes yes yes! I love the look of the cargo boxes on sports cars! If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the links to the suction cups and which cargo box did you get from Thule?
I responded on IG, but for those who else was wondering: www.seasucker.com/products/monkey-bars-2020-edition?currency=USD&variant=39643056701502&Google%20Shopping&stkn=4ae61d1a5c31&gad_source=1 www.etrailer.com/Roof-Box/Thule/TH629506.html?feed=npn&gad_source=1 I'll add this in the description box on the video where I show it!
8:47 I would highly recommend taking US route 101 along the Oregon coast instead of I-5 as you go from the Seattle area down to Napa Valley. It might add a little time and miles, but the Oregon Coast scenic highway is breathtaking to drive with the Pacific Ocean on your right side.
@@VinceChristmastree As you make your way south from Seattle, when you go though Longview, take the Lewis and Clark Bridge over the Columbia River to take US 30 west towards Astoria, OR. As you reach Astoria, US 30 will turn into US 101 that will take you all the way south along the coastline. I’d stop at Cannon Beach for lunch if possible. It’s definitely one of the most scenic beaches on Oregon’s coast.
Longest road trip was 1200 miles and the car was solid throughout, highway is a breeze, it was a great trip took some breaks to stretch my legs but other than that it is easy. Be safe and interested in seeing how it performs on your trip !
Stretching the legs is definitely one of the most mentioned too so we will definitely be doing that. Glad to hear that it went smoothly for you! Stay tuned, I will document every step of the way!
Yeah, I'd be down for that. Feel free to DM me on IG and we can coordinate! We are going to be driving through Albuquerque so I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of a hassle.
this might be a really dumb question lol but do you plan to baby it most the time/normal driving? or throw in a few pulls/races ? asking since you said your dad was with you too
Not a dumb question at all. I just drive it normally a majority of the time. I do pulls every so often so the car can stretch its legs for sure! Road trip will happen next week so I will keep you all updated with vlogs!
