Cross-country road tripping: a classic American past time filled with fond memories of car games, fast food and too little seat space.

It used to be that jumping in the car with your family for a cross-country road trip meant word games and mixtapes. Things sure have changed.

Road Tripping Then
  • All the kids pile into Mom’s wood-paneled station wagon while trying to avoid the middle seat
  • Drop $10 for a tank of gas you need to survive the trek with your family
  • Listen to the mixtape your middle school crush made for you. He did confess his love for you with the smooth sounds of KC
  • One Walkman for the entire family? You learn to deal with it.
  • Pick up a hitchhiker because sure, why not?
  • Pass time by playing punch buggy for hours. Your arm is now bright red.
  • You argue with other people in the car because you know that their shortcut means an extra hour on the road.
