Humans are travelers and explorers by nature. It’s something that has allowed us to thrive as a species, and brought us closer together as we discovered new areas and colonised them all around the world.
We all have the opportunity to explore the world by getting out on the road with the invention of the automobile. Hollywood has many great movies about cars to spark our imaginations.
Road trips are now a part of the soul of all who have seen them on television. You don’t even need to be a fan of gear to want to drive down the highways with the car you love, the right song and the girl/boy you want.
These are the five road trips that you should take and the cars you should use to get there.
You can provide the music and company.
1. Route 66 USA, Ford Mustang Convertible
This is THE road trip. It has a song and appears in many movies. It’s America’s road, and you’ll be driving it from coast to coast. You’ll see some of America’s most popular tourist spots and also some of America’s most bizarre and beautiful sights. It will be a wonderful experience to see incredible scenery and meet amazing people. While you could opt for an SUV that makes this more comfortable, you are certain that you want a Ford Mustang Convertible. This will make you feel like one of the most stylish road trippers. Go on, do it.
2. Gobi Desert, Mongolia with an UAZ van
Are roads necessary? Roads are not necessary for where we are going. This may be Back To The Future’s motto, but it is also applicable to one of your most memorable road trips. Although the Gobi Desert in Mongolia may not be for everyone, it is a great place to go if you are an adventurer. Although you won’t find a fancy muscle car, it is a Russian-made van that will take you through some of most beautiful and remote landscapes you’ve ever seen. You can ride camels when you’re not.
3. South Island Circuit, New Zealand, with a Camper Van
You’ve seen the stunning scenery of New Zealand from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, and you want to see it for yourself. Why not make the leap and visit the South Island circuit. New Zealand traditions include traveling in a campervan. You’ll feel at home while touring the stunning scenery of the Southern Hemisphere, from the Fjordland and the Southern Alps. It’s an unforgettable experience that you won’t find anywhere else.
4. San Juan Skyway, USA with Chevy Colorado
A Chevy Colorado is the perfect vehicle to take on a Colorado road trip. This classic American pickup truck is the perfect vehicle for you to take you on a trip through Colorado. It has all the power and comfort that you need and will be proud to own. Autumn is the best season to visit, as the autumn colors are at their peak and the region is beginning to see winter snow.
5. A Toyota Land Cruiser on the Ring Road in Iceland
The Ring Road in Iceland is the best place to go if you want to feel alone on a new planet. Although it may sound like a boring, crowded commuter road in a city, the Ring Road takes you around the entire island and gives you all the scenery including volcanoes, snowy mountain ranges, and lava fields. You need a reliable, powerful 4WD vehicle to do this kind of thing. The Land Cruiser is the perfect choice.
