Pics from roadtrip from Detroit to Cali

[mazda3zoom]

I left on friday Feb 10th towards Cali. The first part was 16 hrs to denver, once we got there we ate and walked around for a while. We were gonna go straight west through the rockie mountains but upon checking the road conditions found that was a bad ideal. (the 3 doesnt do too well in the snow) So we shot straight south towards the grand canyon.
The first nite we slept (tuesday nite) we stayed on an indian reservation in northern Az. Once we woke up we were headed for the grand canyon, and then DISASTER HITS. My damn motor mount decided to completely come apart out in the middle of the desert. So now im driving through the desert with my motor falling half way outta the damn car. Ill include a short clip that i took of me shaking my engine around in the car. Anyways heres a few pics.

Now in Az for the best part. I went over to the AzMc Website ( http://www.mazdasports.com/joomsmf/ ) and put a request for a meet/ fun drive through the mountains and heres the pics. IT was a good turnout, i think 38 was the total count. Anyways heres the pics and thanks to everyone who came out on sunday.
In the 3rd pic dont mind the back of my car being so low.lol. there was a ton of luggage in the trunk.

Great pictures! Whoa ... thought I was in a parallel universe for a sec. I rolled from Detroit to Cali back in November (picked up my MSP in Detroit). Isn't I-80 fun (boom07) I ran into the same problem in Colorado; just 'cause the weather is fine in Denver, doesn't mean things are clear up in the mountains. I had to dump down to New Mexico and cut across on the 40. Looks like the beach shots were taken either in Malibu or between Ventura and Santa Barbara, am I close?

beach shots were a little south of huntington beach and laguna beach. I-80 was so boring through iowa and nebraska, i was doin like 100mph trying to get through there as fast as possible, didnt see a cop the whole time either.

Colorado weather is super strange, last week it was great in the mountains, and 24 below in Denver. If you don't like it, wait 15 minutes.
