Cross country time lapse from Hollywood CA to Chicago IL. 37 hours door to door. My Volvo V70R was equipped with a Valentine One Radar Detector, Speed Trap Waypointed Garmin, a dash mounted Canon HD Camcorder, and a 60gig Ipod. Sustained speeds of over 100mph were held for long stretches of the route, with the top speed being 130mph IN A STATION WAGON!!! Beautiful scenery and weather the whole way. The side trip to drive the Million Dollar Highway was well worth the extra 5 hours.

You should've labeled each state you arrived in

I've driven everywhere east of the Mississippi River, but never have gotten far on the western side of it. I've flown out there many times, however. One of these days, I'll drive cross country. So far, my longest is Chicago to Philadelphia - Pennsylvania is beautiful

Nice...my V1 saved me a few times on a drive out from Chicago to Vegas. Great work!

I recently took a 5000 mile road trip from Minnesota to LA and back. Fun drive an beautiful scenery along the way. Driving is A way better experience than flying.

Nice video! I did the LA to Chicago drive in 2008 also, took us 32 hours continuous. I was falling asleep driving the very long straights through Nebraska at night. Only thing that kept me awake were the deer warning signs.. LOL

Cool..... I live in the Central Coast region of Calif.(Monterey, Salinas, King City area about an hour-and-a-half south of SFO) and we travel down to the Los Angeles area once a month.

A seven minute video from LA to Chicago and there were still mountains at the 6 minute mark? Should have been 3 minutes of corn fields before Chicago.
