Road trip across America

Hello,

Pacmania - If you want to do the Tornoda alley stuff you'll have to come in the spring time. I think April to June is the best time.

---Just do a net search for "tornado alley" and you'll find a ton on it (tornado alley is the plain states - Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, etc) ---

I'm thinking that we'll probably be coming around March/April/May so that should fit in well.

That's actually my sister Shelley's daughter. She's 33 now. But she's a looker I had to include that to get your interest.

My wife's sister "K"'s daughter is also very hot, but she's 23 and living in LA now. Her other daughter "K" is also hot, and lives here, but I don't have a recent pic of her either. I didn't have a recent photo of either so I used the one above of the other neice. Then there's "C", but she lives in Alaska. And ....oh well :P

Ok, we're definitely stopping in at your house. Organise a family get together on that day. 8) I could make a side trip to Alaska if she's hot enough.

Once they move to a city like LA you've lost them because their are so many Australians that live or visit those type of areas.

Do they have a southern accent?

No. None of them do. There really is no southern accent here. We get some backwash from Texans that have moved here (way different than a southern accent like tgpo's), but we try to ignore them (j/k Flay )

I don't mind the Southern accent on a girl as long as its not too overbearing.

I dislike the really strong Yankee accent.

I'll try to dig up an audio clip of what I mean. It's not your accent, I heard that on the video clip of you going to work.

Somebody's been watching too much South Park... 8)

[yoda313]

Hello,

Squirreldip - you guys do say some stuff differently.

On CBC the annoucers say PROCESSING with a really exaggerated LONG O. Prooocessing..

And how about Detroit??? They say De-tro-it. Wierd...

Kevin

J/k - just different

[pacmania_2001]

Canadians can't pronouce the U after an O I've found from going to school with a Canadian exchange student.

Example. About sounds like Aboot

Couldn't find an example of the Yankee accent so heres an example, they pronouce Aussie, Arsie.

Back on topic, what are the requirements for buying and insuring a car in the US? I've heard you need a social security number, correct? Is there a way around this for tourists?

Hello,

Yeah buy one from a guy in a back alley!

Just kidding- check out some government websites and you'll find out...

Kevin

[zzyzzx]

I also recommend spending some time in Key West and Miami, FL. Also set aside planty of time in the Baltimore - Washington DC area.

[pacmania_2001]

Whats in those places zzyzx?

What department is in charge of stuff like that do you know?

[yoda313]

Hello,

Pacmania - seriously I don't really know. Why don't you check out some car dealer websites??? Go to the Big 3 or honda or somebody and click through for an actual dealer website. They might be able to give you some info.

YANKEE ACCENT - Do you mean New England Accent???

Norm Abrham on THIS OLD HOUSE would be a good example.

They say drawer like draw. They also add r's to the end of vowels an awful lot.

Go to the state's website for where you're planning to buy it. The Secretary of State is the responsible branch Or, if you go to a less civilized state like here in NM, it's the Motor Vehicle Division

[pacmania_2001]

No idea who Norm Abraham on This Old House is so I couldn't tell you if that was the accent.

Anybody have a clip of THIS OLD HOUSE with Norm so Pac can hear it???? (I'm at work)

Just checked the Californian state site which wasn't very informative. I'll talk to my Grandpa about it when I see him next, hes a walking encyclopedia when it comes to things like this.

@pac: Also check on getting insurance in Canada - it may be easier than the US and any Canadian auto insurance will cover you in the US (it just won't cover you if you want to go to Mexico).

The cheapest in Canada I believe would be Saskatchewan (government insurance) – should be able to pick up a vehicle there pretty cheap too, Take a look at http://www.sasktourism.com/ ...

I’m unaware of the actual rules regarding out of country people owning/licensing vehicles but it can’t be too difficult as I’ve known many who have done this.

[pacmania_2001]

Cheers for the links. If worse comes to worse then I have relatives in the LA who would probably buy the vehicle under their name for me.

How're you gonna get it home? They have baggage weight limits, you know

[pacmania_2001]

Everyone's a comedian :P

Here's the car we'll go around in:clicky

Key West is a really neat place with tons of drunk and horny people all over.

Baltimore - Washington DC area has way too many place to visit to list here. Besides allt eh bovious touristy places like the Mall in DC, Baltimore Inner Harbor, and Annapolis City docks, there are tons of other things to do here also. Like visit civil war battlefields (Gettysburg, PA in particular is good to visit; if you visit one, visit that one). Try a day cruise on the Chesapeake, or something else local like the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge visitor's center or National Abboredum, etc. At the very least, expect to stay a while and visit the museums in downtown DC and maybe Arlington National Cemetary. Most of the places around here are real cheap to visit, the exception being the touristy food places and parking. If you do drop by here just yell and I can tell you where to park for free.
