[@bingeMAFIA]

There's not a lot of things I can watch with my parents but since we watched the west coast road trip we've been hooked. Thank you for providing well produced content, memorable bonding time, and road trips to look forward to doing ourselves. ❤️💙

[@EverydayDriver]

Thrilled to hear you enjoyed this with family. Thank you for watching!

[@westleyvanzant]

Thank you guys for letting me live vicariously through your road trips as I sit in my retail lunch breaks 😭

[@thomasdowney3688]

A fantastic conclusion to an epic series. Loved it guys!

[@tjautocross]

Thank you! You have demonstrated the best parts of friendship and what it means to have a zest for life. I’m delighted to hear you will continue making these. I must also say that I’m truly saddened that I was out of town when you were in Philadelphia. I’ve followed the podcast, KZbin and TV show for years. I’m hoping one of these days the stars align and I’m able e to meet two guys that I think of as friends, but have never met. 😊 I should also say that I was out of town on my own road trip. My wife and I drove down to the Tail of The Dragon and spent a few days driving the amazing roads in that area. You guys helped inspire that trip and I’m forever grateful.

[@PrimsAlg]

I got my first fun car (nc2 miata) last year after your show and podcast helped to awaken my latent car enthusiasm, and I’m so excited to take it on its first road trip this summer. Thanks for sharing your passion with us; it’s infectious!

[@brandonsever2576]

That's a hell of a first fun car! I've owned plenty of different sports cars and the NC2 is easily one of the most fun cars at any price. You've done well

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

This is a road movie - I mean not a YT channel car guy movie - it's a real movie and the best I saw from you guys, I am a fan since...you started. The MIB clip? Awesome!!! Greetings from Germany!!!! You feel like friends and family, somehow...I know it's weird. Also you show me again what I love about America today. Thank you guys! 🌋

[@EverydayDriver]

We consider this a big compliment. Thank you for watching!

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

@@EverydayDriver yes that was the intention!!!

[@corysekine-pettite1783]

Yes! More road trips, Todd! We're here for them!

[@tilmykillme]

A 300zxTT was the first car I drove where I was like "oh ok, THIS is what a fast car feels like to drive"

[@lptomtom]

Other channels would milk these roadtrips over several videos, thanks for the great content as always!

[@EverydayDriver]

Thank you for watching! We hope you’ll share it with others who might enjoy. Glad to have you with us!

[@ryanfarrier3052]

Thank you for this.I love your guys content. The Nissan holds a special place in my heart, especially the Z32. I'll never skip a Z video.

[@Geromino555]

Don't sell the Z, do more trips with these cars, this is the best series!

[@BeerWagoon]

I'm loving this series but I think it would be great if they got different older cars like this, fixed them up for actual use and created a new series or a new season.

[@simonhurlimann908]

You guys should really do a roadtrip in Europe - you would not regret it - I swear 😀👍 Another great video - thank you so much!

[@herrbrahms]

Fly into Frankfurt and use Germany as a hub for side quests to all the surrounding countries. From narrow Swiss passes high above the cows to bombing down an Autobahn at 150 mph, Europe can be a great if expensive place to road trip.

[@franciscomonterrosa7889]

I am left without words, heavy breathing after your last comment in the video. I had been waiting for this final episode of this series of road trips for months. I now remember why I love my car. Such connections with these machines.Thank you guys and your team for putting such amazing work, for being out there and sharing these amazing trips. I can't wait for your next content. Thank you Thank you!

[@EverydayDriver]

Thrilled to have you watching and encouraged to know they’ve played so well for you. Many thanks for watching!

[@ijimppangi]

You guys have the best road trip videos. Please keep them coming.

[@EverydayDriver]

We’re flattered and encouraged to hear this. Thank you!

[@1966dc]

Incredible series! As a fellow 300ZX TT owner, you have inspired me to get out there and drive! I struggle with a little reluctance though, since my car is a pristine super low mileage (under 40K) beauty. Thanks for showing us how much we're missing by not driving these cars like they were built for.

[@EverydayDriver]

We sincerely hope you’ll drive your 300zx and take it on many adventures. Thank you for watching and we’re thrilled for it to be inspirational!

[@wingspantt]

A ship in harbor is safe. But that's not what ships were built for.

[@jdub6909]

The 300zx is one of those cars that can give you a super car feel for a normal budget. The interior is still cool.

[@jbrenofficial]

This was an absolutely amazing way to spend an hour! I wish it didn't have to end but I'm so excited to see what content you all produce next! I grew up in a big road trip family and these videos bring back so many memories. I better get to planning my own for the summer because I've missed these types of trips during the pandemic! Thank you for all the amazing content you continue to publish!

[@EverydayDriver]

We’re flattered to know these brought back memories and provided inspiration That’s what we hoped for! Thanks for watching and enjoying what we do!

[@StopGettingFiesty]

The stone hedge suits part was hilarious.

[@Jorge_Magallon]

The other Road Trip films in the back of my mind had me holding my breath as Paul pushed his 928 on the track. Great climax and ending treatment to the whole series. Bravo!

[@EverydayDriver]

Glad to have you watching! Thrilled to hear you’ve enjoyed them!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Can not wait for the Honda Civic Type R vs Toyota GR Corolla episode! 👍

[@zmarko]

I love these road trip specials. Job well done, guys.

[@andreasbeaufort3594]

That thing you guys said about Texas being all straight and flat looks very much like the midwest here in Brazil. Around Brasília (capital city, where I live), roads are just about straights and flat terrain as well. That said, what an awesome trip that must have been! You guys just make me NEED a nice car to go on road trips again (damn, I miss my old Accord Wagon), and Todd just makes me NEED a 300ZX every time I see one of these videos. Thank you for such good content, guys!

[@EverydayDriver]

We greatly appreciate you watching!

[@TheTardis157]

The 928 is a fantastic roadtrip car. I used to drive the hell out of my 89 S4 between LA and San Francisco when I wasn't stuck in LA traffic and it never missed a beat. It currently has 218k miles and only ever left me stranded once when a battery terminal got loose at like 1 am. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

[@mkei8973]

Hi, from Japan!! Your films always make me smile. These cars cannot defeat GT3 or Lamborghini. It doesn’t matter!! I could see how these cars were shining on the track because of you two!! For every foreigner drivers like me can also learn how Texas is like or four corners is like. Awesome. I’ll watch your Civic type-R review later, of course!!

[@dartman1113]

The way you integrate the maps into the episode is fantastic and really helpful. Looking forward to experiencing some of these roads someday. Still dreaming about returning to Highway 12...

[@EverydayDriver]

Glad it’s helpful and inspiring! Thanks for watching and enjoying what we do!

[@shannonshepard5047]

I have a 1975 Pontiac Formula. I bought it in 1976. I have restored the car to a higher level than what it started out. I’ve taken my car on the several hot rod power tour and they have been awesome. I will never get rid of it. Yes I’ve spent a ton of money on it, and it’s been worth it. Keep your cars, you will regret it if you don’t. I love both cars.

[@davidboyce6427]

You two men have shown and documented what Road & Track, Car and Driver and Motorweek told us back in the 80’s that these two cars are are meant to be driven and built for road trips. Bravo for showing 0 the younger generations a little bit of history

[@EverydayDriver]

Thank you for watching!

[@frankwaugh1894]

You have both put a fabulous series of road trips together. Wonderfully well done. When I bought my 84 928s in 2015 I drove all 1400 miles back to Dallas tx nonstop but for gas since my neighbor wouldn't feed my dog .made it back in a little over 17 hrs. Had to play songs from 1984 on the way back. I had to be standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona such a fine sight to see there was a girl my lord flashing me and slowing down to take a look at me...blasted through Arizona at fun speeds blasting I can't drive 55 and devo we are here to GO on the Blaupunkt. Hope you guys had a blast :)

[@rjkStudios]

Thank you so much for this series with these 2 cars. I've loved every second of it! 😎 👍 Your Pacific Coast highway road trip is still my favourite video on KZbin. Can't wait for car season to roll in up here in Canada. After watching this Texas road trip, I'm really looking forward to hitting the road in my 28 year old summer car as soon as possible.

[@janwergeland5586]

Thank you for the insight into this side of the car hobby, road trips. Here in Scandinavia it is still winter and the roads are salty. Looking forward to the planned drive this summer with a friend where we each have our 80s Porsche, 924 S and 944.

[@stephanmartini4514]

@janwergeland5586 I've been enjoying these road trip video's myself from the UK, remembering my own California Road-trip in a Mustang Convertible Hire car in 2008 and inspired myself to do a UK-France-Belgium-Germany trip in my own 944 Turbo last Sept. to visit the Stuttgart car museums and the Classic Spa Race event. Great to hear you have a 924S & 944 dynamic duo.

[@kylepalaian]

“It’s like a multi-state chase” lol you guys are awesome 👏

[@IcelanderUSer]

Isn’t it strange how you used to think the last 928s were the best looking versions? Now, I’m loving the originalish look of these. So clean and pure.

[@abrahamibarra9535]

Y'all should have visited Lime Creek Road since you were in Austin. Definitely not many other roads like it in Texas.

[@sprattbooks]

Paul saying "Okay to go" was... *chef's kiss*

[@anthonygordon14]

Always enjoy my trips in my 928 S4 MY89. Have owned it for 12 years and have driven around 130,000kms (80,000 miles). It gets regularly serviced, has been incredibly reliable, and always puts a smile on my face. Love this series guys. Cars need to be driven and especially classic cars. Cheers Tony

[@dack981]

Man I absolutely LOVEd the Close Encounters reference. As someone who, even in his 30s still turns his pile of mashed potatoes into a mockery of Devil's Tower a-la the movie, I very appreciated this.

[@techtoth1]

These vids make me miss my 928s so much! But it was just too expensive for proper mainteinance. It will always be in my heart. If you can afford it... keep it!

[@jrbuch]

Your roadtrips are the highlight of your channel. I'm from Australia. Back in 2013, my brother I came stateside. We drove from California to Texas, then back to California via Arizona, Nevada to California and up to Washington. Found it very enjoyable.

[@SHADOWW18]

I am but a simple man, I see a road trip video from Everydriver, I make a coffee and buckle up for quality content

[@tomc8854]

Great road trip film! Loved the 928 since first seeing Risky Business .😄 When that Z came out it was a f-ing space ship. That’s what Nissan needed to do rather than that retro refresh of the 370 we got. Something new that blows you away!

[@woodnutz78]

Buc-ee’s!!! Those surely are a marvel. Sadly, they weren’t a thing (or at least the thing they are now) when I lived in Katy. Now, it’s a mandatory stop (along with Whataburger, of course) whenever I go home to visit family. Took the wife and kids and we didn’t escape until 2 hours later. Awesome video, guys! Keep up the stellar work! I’m putting a new rad in my ‘91 Z, too!!😂

[@EverydayDriver]

Glad you’re watching and enjoying!

[@SupraSav]

Appreciate you showing the reality of older vehicles - they need maintenance. Love vehicles from the 90s. From a ex- 240sx owner, JDM STi owner; those cars are great for the era, but they aren't amazingly reliable like some people make them out to be.

[@JohnFromAccounting]

I've enjoyed these road trip films the most of any of these ownership series you've done.

[@EverydayDriver]

Thank you. We’ve loved doing this series and are looking forward to doing more. We appreciate you watching!

[@aaronschen9896]

Paul is gonna end up in deeper than if he bought the nicest late gts available. The struggle is real. Great series gents

[@loffy742]

I laugh and sympathize with Paul. I have a 1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette that I wanted since high school. Bought it at what I thought was a reasonable price and in good shape only to have put 5k into it and another 6k coming up with a Tremec 5 speed. People think I'm nuts, but I want to drive the heck out of it.

[@frankwaugh1894]

Warms winds blowing...heat and blue skies....and a road that goes...forever. thinking about it lately. Been watching some TV...I'm going to Texas. Chris rea- Texas 1989

[@cayman9873]

I just did a trip off road thru snow. My girlfriend and I loved it. It was beautiful. Glad we are living the dream

[@evolgenius471]

I love these road trips! Please don't let them end!!!

[@EverydayDriver]

We have more coming in different cars later this year! Thanks for watching and w're glad you enjoy them!

[@rustygolfer3475]

I grew up on those Texas roads with an RX7 and a Yamaha FZR. Miss those days. Everyones trucks are white because it is 110 in the summer.

[@chrisluecke3341]

OMG, the travel Speed Shine was the best part!

[@itzed]

These longer episodes sometimes make me wonder if the time investment is worth it to bother to watch it all. But the dialog about the dynamics of the driving experience resonates with me so much I get hooked once I get into it. I feel it.

[@EverydayDriver]

We're thrilled to hear that you did give it a chance and it held your interest. It's wonderful to know when these films play as intended. Thank you for watching!

[@scoobers90]

What a wonderful series, guys! Can't wait to see what trips are next.

[@collincutler2278]

I love the video! By far my favorite road trip you guy shave done! Keep the trips coming!

[@crxtodd16]

Would be cool to join you guys on a trip. Thanks for the fun video!

[@Paul-ez1mj]

Paul and Todd. Thanks for another great road trip!! It's inspired my own road trips! Keep taking them and enjoy the ride 🙂

[@desertsoldier41]

Twisted Sisters is my stress reliever. I bomb down that sucker in my 124, exhaust blaring and turbo screaming. Its like meditation

[@elricker]

Great roadtrip and even greater video! It took me a moment to recognize you when you first showed up wearing suits!

[@mattsuter100]

Another fantastic piece guys! Really enjoying the incorporation of humor into these movies and as always the great roads and content. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what's next!

[@herrbrahms]

My first time I visited a Buc-ees I had no idea what to expect. I was just looking for fuel and they had it. Two hours later when my wife and I left, I called it what I still call it today: a gas city.

[@marka.2484]

I really enjoyed every bit of these road trip videos guys! Well done and thanks for sharing it with us. You guys rock!

[@mtlsi]

I just can’t go over Pauls enthusiasm over his Porsche, even though you can feel also (financial) pain that it brought him. Than you for another great video of an epic trip, I need to find time and do more of these in my youngtimer…

[@santacruzbicycles2841]

Absolutely loved this series. It’s made us daydream about some summer road trips. Can’t wait to see where you guys go next.

[@jzb8380]

Thanks so much for the fantastic, well done series! I'm currently unable to get out on drives and won't be likely able for some time and watching this was great fun and therapeutic -- you guys are the gold standard!

[@Nash_Nismo]

I was really hopeful that you guys might drive through Carlsbad and the Guadalupe Mountains National Park when you stopped in Roswell. Amazing scenery! I’m in TN and everyone looks at me funny when I talk about hiking in the mountains of west TX.

[@etherboy3540]

I was a teenager when the 928 came out and at the time I thought it was the most beautiful car in the world. I still kind of feel that way all these years later. But the 300z is pretty cool in its own right and I would have to think orders of magnitude less expensive to keep running.

[@BoscoDance]

Wonderfully done! Thanks for the awesome video you guys 😎

[@johnguanci2316]

Was thinking about this while I was shoveling a heavy wet snow, hoping it's the last of the year for us, I can't recall of another automotive KZbin channel that encourages viewers to go find a road of their own in whatever car they have and drive it. So while I've seen and even watch quite a few of them, I can't think of another that says, "come on out here and be a part of this great experience with us." In that way, it's about the drive, not about the cars...the memories and the slack jaw of awe.

[@saviordream]

Thanks for the video, guys. Was a really great ending to what has been an excellent series!

[@evalonious]

25:23 😂 Of course New York. Ellis Island is were all aliens must check in before entering the city. 😂❤🏁

[@DougJosephDMJ]

Aliens coming to New Mexico makes sense in the fact that this was where the humans detonated the first nuclear bomb. That and continued (at the time) to detonate more

[@darrellgordon7456]

Epic content guys ! absolutely awesome, thanks for taking us along

[@david.mcmahan]

I am also waiting for the "Pass with Abandon" signs. Ha ha.

[@TheCabrooster11]

What a great video,you both definitely enjoyed the trip and looked like you had fun making it. Thanks for taking us along.

[@kenpallister5804]

Looking forward to this one. Great work guys.

[@lukepiwowar2371]

Thanks guys for another amazing adventure !!! 👏 👍

[@johnguanci2316]

Thank you for taking us along for the ride. When I got the notification on my phone that this episode had been posted I was at a parent/teacher conference and immediately thought, I can't wait to get home to watch this..."Yeah, I'm sure he's doing fine in geometry...got to go."

[@EverydayDriver]

We’re honored that you wanted to rush home and watch. Thank you!

[@justsomerandomguyman]

I just drove from central Florida to Circuit of the Americas in Texas for Super Lap Battle. Was epic.

[@user-pm8ri8so7d]

Outstanding videos. These 4 road trips have been the best. Keep them coming guys. Thank you for taking us along with you

[@EverydayDriver]

Thank you for watching!

[@Trainsk8]

I was suprised to hear you guys mention Hocking Hills in Ohio. That area is a portal to all the best driving roads in southeast Ohio, very fun!

[@EverydayDriver]

We wish we could have explored that area further. Thanks for watching!

[@bholm369]

Between the O.G. Top Gear, The Grand Tour and this, one of my bucket list things is to take my car on a cross country road trip to really bond with the car. Having a group of buddies to do it with would definitely be a plus.

[@EverydayDriver]

We are very flattered to be put in that company! Thank you for watching!

[@jtorresdc]

I loved everything about this series! Pure quality entertainment!

[@andydufresne9200]

Such a great way to end the series. Thanks for all of the efforts!

[@shannonshepard5047]

And thanks for doing and sharing each road trip.

[@L0rdVadr]

Liked, laughed, loved this film. Thanks guys. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@EverydayDriver]

Thank you for watching!

[@AR-ld8qd]

Bravo guys, great work. Loved the contact bit and all of the amazing visuals

[@stephanmartini4514]

These Road-trips, all 1-4 have been an inspiration both to those of us who can in our own backyard and those who would love to. I'm not alone I'm sure in feeling that you've given us access to both the USA trips we've dreamed of and those we remember (just the California coast in my case). I felt a little sad at the end thinking that this may be last Road-trip we see these two great GT's of the past do together but I'm equally looking forward to the next Everyday Driver chapter (I really enjoyed Z4/SLK series too - along with all of your content).

[@wayned3122]

Loved the series guys, keep up the great work!

[@erichansen2571]

Absolutely fantastic stuff, guys! As a fellow road trip warrior, I love to explore the great, wide open spaces that this country has to offer. I've had the district privilege of driving a certain red Mercedes SLK from Park City back to North Dakota and am very much looking forward to convertible weather again here in the Great White North!

[@Edde2016]

Fantastic series! I can't wait to get out there and do some of these roads myself!

[@skymetallic]

The road trip series is great! Come up to Canada for the next series

[@tedadamgreen]

Simply … PHENOMENAL!

[@stevelambert8854]

Love this series and hate to see the road trips end! I wish you guys would come to the NC mountains and check out some great roads, and a great 928 gathering/rally held in my town that has about 30 928s each year.

[@user-ih7gc7dt9l]

Love these videos! I’d have the 928 only because I’ve already owned a 300zxtt and like new experiences. Keep it up guys!

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

Great video! You guys make great MiB! Keep up the good work!

[@anthonyfarnan5935]

Ponytail looking on point Todd 👌

[@GP-fc7jv]

Looks like great fun just get better sway bars and fix the transmission on the Porsche

[@clubracer6]

Great adventure! Really makes me want to get out there. Love it and thank you!

[@hartsickdisciple]

I'm so glad you made this video and took this trip. The three sisters or "twisted sisters" are definitely some of the best driving roads I've ever experienced. Some other great roads in TX are: The "river road" between Presidio and Lajitas, in the Big Bend region, and Lime Creek Road between Cedar Park and Volente, on Lake Travis.

[@Nash_Nismo]

Big Bend is spectacular.

[@Sandstorm88]

Thanks Guys love these road trips!!!!

[@EverydayDriver]

Glad you've enjoyed them. Thank you for watching!

Awesome adventure guys! Thank you so much!
