There was no school this Monday. (no 56k)
There was no school the Monday of this week so me and my two friends decided to take a road trip. The states we visited: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Toronto. Yes we took my car. Why did we go? Cause we are kids and we like exploring. All we took was a second set of clothes, chips, energy drinks, and 2 cameras. Oh, and no GPS cause its not fun when you know how to get somewhere. Because we didn't have a GPS, we went sight seeing and we took a lot of detours. The outcome was great we had tons of fun and were definately gonna do it again, just to the opposite side of the Island.
On to pics. I took a lot but I'll post some. The goal of the trip was to visit the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan near Detroit and visit the Niagara Falls(cause I always wanted to go as a kid but never had the opportunity and my parents worked a lot and there was no time/money.)
The Henry Ford is the biggest Museum in USA and probably the biggest in the world. Its like the size of O'Hare airport if anyone has ever been to O' Hare International in Chicago.
We taped up some parts that were prone to any kind of damage.
It's painters tape that I picked up at auto zone. We put it on becuase we thought it would look cool(we ended up getting a lot of peoples attention and I thought I would get rock chips.)
MOOOOOOO!
I think they are Omish?
I felt like a king for about 30 seconds.
After about 2 hours of walking and exploring we thought we'd covered like more than half the museum until we walked to this street. Thats when we decided we will make use of the roads.
For $4 you can see 3/4ths of the village. We didnt feel like walking for 6 more hours so we went on a 15-20minute ride in a 1916 Ford Model-T. yes its original. 4 cylinders 35hp. I'd like to see an amg take on that!
We saw plenty of these.
This chair actually belonged to Thomas Edison. Edison asked the people to nail his chair to the floor bakc in the 1920's. They redid the floor in his laboratory in 1996 or 1998 so they cut out a square block of the original wood around the chair.
TOO cool for school!
For another $4 you can take a ride in a real steam train through the village where you will see another 3/4ths of the village.
The museum is both indoor and out door. Indoors they have houses from 1920's,1930's.1940's,1950's.60's.etc. They hahe cars from those years. They have real oil derricks. Real huge engines from like boats(like 10,000hp steam engines), machines that produce electricity, furniture from those years, electronics from those years, cars from those years, clothes from those years, ads from those years, planes from those years, action figures from those years(including all original costumes from the tv series like original darth vader suit, terminators leather jacket, the suit val kilmer wore in batman and so much more....
It was time to move on. So far we have driven like 300 miles.
This guy was chillen on his bike. 5 points to anyone who can spot my car on his bike.
Got some premium fuel with invigorate for $3.17 in some imbred town in Ohio lol
The views from the highway were awesome though. This is in Pennsylvania and I wish that was my house on that cliff.
5 hours later....
We were walking to the waterfall and this spider was hanging like 5 feet above the ground from a tree like right in the middle of a sidewalk like its the cool new thing to do so people can walk into a huge *** spider in the middle of the night, and as you can see its dark as hell outside.
I was about to slap the Sh*T out of it cause my face was like 4 inches from it when I realized it was about to be on my face.
I used a camcorder to take a pic becuase the battery on the camera died.
The tape thing turned out being pretty useful.
My friend found a marker in the car so that was the only way we could keep track of the miles we made between major stops. Highway mileage was usually between 24 and 30.4mpg. On the first tank we did about 280 miles becuase I drove the Speed limit and it was 2am and I couldn't see the sneaky cops and I'm still on temps because it takes 3 months to get vanity plates.

Those are some bad *** pics...especially the train and the spider close up. I can see your car's reflection on the bike's storage compartment in the rear, right next to the taillights.

That spider is terrible. I hate spiders so much. I lived on a huge rock hill for years and was always finding huge a*s white spiders around the house. I'm scared for life.
Looks like you guys had fun
