Well some of you knew I was going to Cali for Christmas to visit my family and well others of you didn't but I had to share a little of my road trip with all of you. On my way to Cali and back I took different pictures along the way. which I was going to share a few with everyone. some are specific to certain people.

I first want to say that the box was awesome for the road trip. Everything went well and had no troubles what so ever. I found that it was very comfortable for the long trip that I made. My trip out to Monterey California was 700 miles door to door and I put little over 1400 miles on it total for the trip. I averaged between 33 & 34 mpg there and haven't yet checked what I got on the way back. not bad for doing in between 70 & 80 mph. Anyway I had a blast crusin the box up there, it got many looks while I was driving. so with that being said here are some pictures that I wanted to share.... Just as a warning there are many pictures. Hope you enjoy.....

Here I am just cruisin thru AZ

Ron (AwesomeTc) I saw this guy and instantly thought of you. I tried to get him to pull over and load the box up but he just wouldn't go for it.... :rofl:

On my way from Salinas/Monterey to Bakersfield on Hwy 46 this is the James Dean Memorial. that is the tree that James Dean crashed into which killed him. You can see the metal memorial that is in memory of him at that tree.

This picture speaks for itself but I did this on the way to Cali just to see how stable the ride was. Once I got the picture went back to my crusing speed

Ray I was only at 100 mph for 10/15 seconds.... long enough to take the picture and say I've had the box to 100....lol No I didn't meet the xB owner I had no clue who's it was cause there were so many people that were in In & out.

DJ....No I didn't get to meet any of the twins there...I just saw the sign and took a pic of it.

Cool pics Chris...Glad you had a good trip...I took the xB on a road trip to Mexico awhile back and you are right, it makes a good traveling companion...I had mine to 110 mph for only 10 to 15 seconds, ok maybe it was like 10-15 minutes but who's counting...Thx for the pics...
