My fellow Miata owner/friend, Ken leaves tomorrow. He'll be driving from Vermont To Hawaii in his 2001 Miata. 8K miles round trip!

Good Luck Ken!!!

 

Good luck to him!

This map makes Hawaii look much closer to the continent than it is though..

 

good luc in your drive. that last leg of LA to Honolulu is gonna be difficult. very humid, your car might not run right.

 

He will just have to setup his water injection.

 

I dunno that's a long trip what if he runs out of water?

A while back, I made a typo while entering a starting destination into Google maps. It decoded the zip code as being in Italy, and as a result, about halfway through the "turn by turn" directions, it instructed me to cross the Atlantic ocean and enter the Port of New York.

Of course, XKCD recently played on this as well:

 

LOL!!

"The spectral wolf fears only fire. The Google Maps Team can no longer help you..."

 

There was something when the google walking thing first came out and it told you to swim across the atlantic ocean =D

 

Ken finally made it back...not sure if it's any kind of weird record or not...He takes some great photos..
