Want advice?

Rent a minivan.

Your Coupe is going to be cramped with luggage and people. Plus you're going to wear down your expensive 19 tires, and you're going to get all kinds of rock and sand chips from the cross country drive. Not to mention if the kids want to eat in the car you're going to get that stuff all over the interior.

 

good luck russ! Keep us posted on how things are going

 

Tie the wife and kids to the roof J/K, man thats gonna be a loooong ride with all that stuff and family in tow. Good luck and be safe.

 

i drove to LA and back this past thanksgiving with my gf and her two siblings.. crammed with luggage in the small trunk and two backpacks in between them in the rear.. trust me, it was not a comfortable ride.. i agree with MikeyMike, rent a bigger car.. it's nice driving the coupe, but not with tons of luggage anywhere.. hopefully it's better for you because it's two kids in the back, not two young adults..

 

Day one was short. Stopped in Panama City to visit my wifes parents.

My car decided to join the "CD ERR FO" club. I'm not real happy about that. At least I have my ipod hardwired in.

You guys have no faith in the G. The most uncomfortable person will be me. My kids have plenty of room. They each have a tv, PS2, and Game Boys. My wife has a laptop to watch tv shows she recorded over the past month. I get to watch the Nav screen and my V1 remote.

 

i went to las vegas with my 05 6mt. I drove 780mile from colorado. it was fun i was driving arounf 90 to 120 mph it was crazy but fun in the same time.

wish u good luck.

My advise to you, try to take the material bags to fit in ur car

 

GOOD LUCK!

Make sure you pack a tire plug kit! Watch out for cops with radars!

 

jacksonville to los isnt that bad.......My family took a road trip from Houston-Houston....thats ONE BIG CIRCLE which put 10,000 miles on the brand spankin new volvo xc90 when it just came out...(Houston-Destin-DC-Atlantic City-New York-Niagara Falls-Indiana-Mall of America-Oregon-Cali-vegas-canyons-houston).....have fun on the trip!

 

I drove my g back from CO to GA--- I don't know if you'll go that way but watch out for tumbleweeds across KS and CO!!! lol!! it's crazy!! Long drive, but pretty sites!

 

Longest trip I have taken with my G is 14 hours from san jose to Seattle. My advice is to rent a good sized car and let it take the beating while your G sleeps peacefully in the garage.

 

When I moved to Vegas from Columbus, OH I loaded up all that would fit in the coupe and headed out. I drove by myself and made it in just over 35 hours. I made sure that I could recline my seat but other than that the car was full. It was a fun trip and I was surprised at how comfortable the journey was.

 

OH good grief, that is alot of stuff! Agreed about our trunk space, I hate it when I go to Costco with someone else (we usually buy different things). We can barely fit all of our Bulk items in the trunk and then we have to put the back seat down! On a side note, I went from Orange County to Santa Baraba and back with another "companion" , with luguage and it worked out fine. However, we had to use some backseat space so I can't see how you are going to fit all that in the car and three other people!

 

g'luck and just be careful out there....

 

LOL. Could you take a picture of all that luggage IN the trunk of the car? I'd like to see how you fit everything.

 

haha good luck fitting all of that stuff in the G....have a great trip
