drove there and all i have to say is that half this country has nothing to see and i hate ontario. went to a baseball game and that wasnt bad but the jays lost, and the concert was huge, paramount canadas wonderland was awesome. and that was pretty much it. i was to cheap to go up the cn tower but i probably would have chickened out anyways that is one tall ass building. got some picks about 10 feet from a bighorn sheep, and that was probably the best part of the trip.

i didnt do i tin the camaro i rented a car i would have put to many KMS on. i think in total it was about 9000 there and back. went the whole way in canada. the concert was cool but to many people you try to go anywhere and it was like a wall. ill post some pics later. id do it again but i would take longer. we left on a sat at 10:30 and got there at 10:00 pm on monday. drove through the night one night and stayed in thunder bay on sun night.

i guess id almost rather fly out there and rent a car there for a couple weeks ... driving thru central canada must've been boring as f*ck :(
if i do it i'll take WAY longer driving there and plan my road trip through the states and visit some cool cities .. probably stay a day or two in each state (if its worthwhile) and check sh*t out
i'll do this .. one day .. when im rich

we were going to fly but we got the car for only 650 plus it cost us 600 in gas so it was a lot cheaper then getting four plane tickets and then renting a car when we got there. centeral canada is boring as hell and in medicine hat there where this little bugs everywhere like millions. outside the back door of the hotel we stayed in they were piled up like dirt. it was disgusting and they got all over the car to.
Im planning on doing this at some point too. Was Central Canada heavily patrolled? The only thing I can think of to pass the bordom factor would be excessive speed.......possibly even ludicrus speed.:D :cool:

i never saw a single cop from calgary until half way into ontario and there are alot of unbelievable straight stretches. there are 2 in alberta over 40 kms long without a turn and lots in sask and manitoba over 20 kms long. i was i a 2003 ford taurus though so the highest i got it was 160. i would like to take the camaro there one day though except for all the bug splatter, it looks like the car gets a ew paint job on the bumper.
