Car advice

Hi everyone. Looking for some advice here: student from east coast working in an office on the west coast in the summer where I'll need a car. Is it worth it to ship my car cross country(around $1000) or do I bite the bullet and drive the whole way and pay for hotels during stops, which would definitely be ass having to drive around 12 hours per day.

 

100% drive. I've done the cross-country road trip 4 times now, absolutely love it. One time I had to do it in 5 days and had a few long drives, but if you take your time and limit yourself to 6-8 hour drive days you can see a lot of the country, and it really is incredible. Lots of great cultural places to visit and some of the nature in America is second to none. Go to Shenandoah, Churchill Downs, Chicago Institute of Art, the Gateway Arch, Zion, Grand Canyon, etc. Take a tour of Fallingwater in Pennsylvania or a riverboat down the Mississippi or the observation deck at the Willis Tower. If there is *anything* that you are interested in I guarantee you can find it on a roadtrip. Interested in architecture? Go to Columbus, Indiana and take a tour. Love food? Go to Kansas City, MO and get the best BBQ there is (don't @ me) Museums? Nature? Presidential Libraries? Casinos? You name it, we got it. 

There is so much to see, I was driving through Kansas once and stopped in Abilene, Kansas (pop. 6,000 on a good day) because I saw a sign for Eisenhower's presidential library and I respect the hell out of Eisenhower. Right next to it is the Greyhound Racing Hall of Fame with a few rescue greyhounds just walking around. One of the coolest experiences of my life. Take the trip, you won't be able to when you're older.
