UPDATE:
I made it. 19 hours STRAIGHT, the van only being shut off ONCE in that entire 19 hours. We got pulled over in Alabama(gotta admit, the cop was nice enough), and got lost TWICE in Georgia. First outside Atlanta, and again outside of Athens. Georgia sucks.
The van tried to die on us in Vicksburg, Mississippi, prompting us to push it the rest of the way(figuratively). She didn't even get shut off for refueling.
I drank six Java Monsters(Mean Bean and Moca Loca, w00t!) and...pretty much subsisted off of Corn Nuts and beef jerky.
The fun part is, I gotta do it again at the end of October to get my car and bring it back.
WOOP DE FUCKING DOO.
I took some pictures of the road, I'll post them later. My back is killing me.

Bury me with my guns on,
So when I reach the other side,
I can show him what it feels like to die.

So, I gotta wait a few more days for my dad's Social Security check to come in, so we can diagnose what the FUCK is going wrong with that engine. It sure as shit can't run for 15 hours straight.
So, relax Crim. I'll be in the city for a few more days. Quit whining.
Yea!

Nicely done. I'm not sure I would have been ballsy enough to hit the road for that long when you knew it wasn't running right. Kudos to you.

Either way, I agree, I hate where I live. I can't wait to go to Germany or back to Illinois.

It really wasn't balls. I HAD to get out. The landlord was getting pissed off(He wants to sue, for us leaving, despite the fact we already had the eviction judgement), and it was either push the van to make it there, or end up living in it.
Well, my first day out here in the sticks(the first day I wasn't asleep).
This place sucks. Sure, cigarettes are two bucks cheaper, the scenery is beautiful, and all that good crap, but it still sucks. More on that later.

I could see why you might say that. But there are worse states. They're down and to the left of us. Or to the left and up. Or Kansas. heh heh
I kid though.

True, one could get lost easy in Atlanta, but try the Griffin Walmart, A.K.A. the Walmart Labyrinth, that's a maze lol. (Just finished remodel of it and even I don't know where everything is yet -.-)
On a good note, good to see things are working out to say the least in regard that you don't have to deal with that guy anymore after things settle down...
Nyaa... Will be around but not very much.
