My random roadtrip to Pitssburgh

Story goes: My friend, Chris, calls me Sunday night asking me if I want to go on a road trip to Pittsburgh. I say "Of course! I'll bring my camera." So we left at 6:30pm Tuesday evening. Chris is good friends with Ian Snell, a pitcher for the Pittsburg Pirates who lives in FL during the offseason. He had some work done to his Mitsubishi Evolution X MR and wanted it up in Pittsburgh. So we took a road trip to deliver it to him. We arrived in Pittsburgh around 1:30pm...39 limp modes later. The car was tuned by a local tuner, Jestr, who specializes in Evos/STIs. They are blaming the HKS BOV for the car going into limp mode. That makes no sense to me. The car would randomly go into limp mode when the throttle was pressed down smoothly. Anyways, we met up with a good friend of mine from high school. She showed us around town and then we all went to the game and out to a bar afterwards. I flew out the next morning and was back in Orlando at 1pm. What an exhausting, but fun, roadtrip!

This is where we were pulled over" by the ******** West Virginia Police. It was roughly 5:30am and we were taking pictures on the side of the road. He threatened to "call the wrecker". Really?!




A random stop around 6:30am...we could have pulled over every 10 minutes to take pictures. It's so beautiful out there.






Another pit stop. I think this was around 2550ft elevation.


Just down the road, I tried out some panning shots.




Then the OEM navigation ended up taking us off the main interstates and on some back country roads. We were glad because we had the chance to take some nice twisties...but this also led to the navigation ending us at a police station???


Hell yes!


There were quite a few rundown buildings that were halfway burnt down...including this gas station.




My attempt at Dali.


More twisties!


A scenic lookout in West Virginia.














Sitting 12th row at the Pittsburgh Pirates game...almost directly behind home plate!




This guy belongs at Disney.


Free fresh hot dogs!


The famous Pierogi race.










A beautiful backdrop of downtown Pittsburgh.




The Evo finally at home.


I want!!!


24" Forgiato wheels.
