The country I live in now is quite well-served by railway lines so it would be hard to imagine going on a road trip... If I have the opportunity however, maybe to the Ardennes mountains since it'd be nice to explore the whole area

The ironic answer would be the local pothole(s)

Gas station.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

I live in the northern suburbs of Stockholm Sweden, so a road trip will probably mean going south.

So lets start going west!

I would hit up Gripsholm castle to say hi to Leo the Lion: https://www.kungligaslotten.se/artiklar-film-360/gripsholms-slott/2018-07-22-legenden-leo.html

Then I'd go down the E4, stopping at a moose park in Småland, stay overnight at my aunts place, keep going south to Blekinge, visit Marinemuseum (the National Maritime museum of Sweden) in Karlskrona, then continue on to Malmö, drive to Denmark, visit Legoland, continue to Germany, and Hamburg, for Miniature Wunderland, then find out where the closed steel works that you can explore are, go there, then find the park with old bucket wheel excavators, check those out, keep going south to Sinsheim and Speyer and checkout the cool technology museums, drive over to France and start heading back home.

Petrol, bait, ammo & ice. BTW I recommend these guys 2000 Olympics commentary.

Never been to a desert or west of the Rocky Mountains. Gods I don't want to roll there from NW Florida, but I've never seen it.

The bathroom. Better to go before you go!

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

Also the servo. Won't getting far without fuel.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

God damn it you beat me to it

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

Work, because I can't afford a road trip.

Computer history museum. – the archive of our age and what shaped it thus far.

I'd like to go to the La Brea tar pits because that holds massive meaning for Earth's living history.

I'd like to spend a full day at Barber Motorsports Park again if I was ever in Birmingham again.I love the age when people cast engines and machined parts in their middle class neighborhood back yards and alleys; when all motorcycles still had bicycle pedals and were just modified bicycle frames. The way the motorcycle started as nothing more than a velodrome pace bike to replace the 4+ man tandems for leading out certain track events is on clear display in their museum. I wish I lived in an age like that, where people could be far more creative without space and shitty people constraints. I have no place to do metal casting even if I could somehow handle the physical stress of it. I would love to do green sand casting.

The tar pits are worth a visit! Lots of cool history and I like the smell lol

Gas station for fuel and snacks.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

And then straight home to fart

[–] CanITendTheRabbits@piefed.social 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Buc-ee’s for some sweet sweet road trip snacks

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Buccee's is incredibly awful to their employees.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

My wife scored a job there and I got her to quit before she started. The HR staff was rocking the phones, non stop, trying to get people to come back in. Not a good sign.

I've worked some nasty jobs, ain't afraid of much. I could go on and on, but the rules at Buc-ee's are fucking appalling. Yeah, they pay better than average, but you are a slave. However bad you think your job is? Not hearing it if you don't work at Buc-ee's. I'll never stop there again as long as I live.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 11 hours ago

toronto and then never come back.

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

A hot springs! It's been too long since I've been to one and I just want to re-fucking-lax

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 1 points 12 hours ago

That sounds awesome, good call!

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

The top speed of my vehicle, for at least a few minutes. It's been too long..

Ohhh you wanted a location... booooring.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Can we get some breakfast tacos for the road, please?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

No financial or resource limits? I want to go everywhere within driveability and see & do absolutely everything.

Including Hiking all the waterfalls in Oregon.

All the breathtaking lesser-known beach gems up & down the California coast line.

Disneyland 😊 I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but I want to go because I haven't been since childhood/teenager and it would be cute nostalgia.

Coffee to begin? Gas station coffee and cigs would be perfect

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

The RV rental place.
