Vacation in Miami Beach soon!

[Xprime4 10+ year member]

I've been waiting for this the whole year. 3 years ago, me and my gf when for a little 1 month trip in miami beach, florida. We had so much fun, that we had no choice to get there again before finish the university and getting a serious job.

But, this time will be different. Three years ago, we went there with greyhound, from montreal. It took almost 3 days.... that was long and for the most part of the trip, we were the only white people //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif Are black people a majority on the state east coast or was it because of greyhound background... anyway

This time, we'l be going with my accent 99 that got 170 000km ( 105635.99 miles )

under the hood. The car was inspect and is supposed to be reliable, but it's keeping me worried anyway

In the coming weeks, i'll be removing the sound system since it's worth way more than the car and i'm affraid the car could never come back/get stole... What are the chance of this budget car getting stolen in miami beach? I heard it was one of the worst place to park a car because of thieves, but i guess they won't care about a car that is worth 1k at top?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif will they?

Anyway the road will be long, so i,ll be putting a cheapo sound system without sub (only hu, a cheap power acoustic amp and alpine type r coaxial) since we got 30hour of road. Yeah i'm from quebec so that's a long way

I'm planning to do this in two days, 15h per day and sleeping in the car, at a truck stop or a flying J. Is this safe? what's the best place

How's the weather at night around north/sud Carolina? Will a blanket keep us warm enough to still be alive in the morning? I won't be renting anything since we already rent a studio on ocean dr. miami for three weeks and we spend all the year getting our money for it.

What's the gas price on the east coast? I'll be taking the 87 south, then joining the i95 down to florida. how does the paying road work? Do i need change for it or they give it back if you pay with bills?

If you have read this till the end i guess you had a lot of time to spare //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

as I do. Anyway could you help me out with my worries.

I'm french btw, that could explain the weird sentence structures and the grammar:laugh:

Thank for helping me out

Sleeping in your car on road trips sucks.... especially since it's cold out. Your car shouldn't have any problem. Mine has 220,000+ on it and I drove roundtrip to Arizona from Indiana.

That's all the input I have.

how cold? I guess it's a lot warmer than quebec night at -20 celcius.

Where does the snow stop falling in state in december? South Carolina and lower?

no no no. You said you had to clean the bud out of your car. You'd be better off just getting fully detailed to make sure there are no reminents for a dog.

really dependent upon the state and their snow removal procedures.

excuse my ignorance but, getting it fully detailed mean an inspection at the garage? They won't clean my car there lol. I'll be stopping smoking in few days and then make sure there's nothing that could bring me trouble in the car. A good vacum + some more product should do it

I don't have any felony and there should be no reason the search me. I,m just wondering what ratio gets fully search at duty

nah, it's when you pay someone to completely clean out the inside. It will look brand new.
