The master behind this car-packing job credits years and years of doing puzzles.If this doesn't win a world record, I'd like to see the packed car that did.
For the 1,800 miles we drove in three days we were actually comfortable. Our snacks were easy to reach, our overnight bags were right on top and there was leg room on the passenger's side. And, no, I didn't ride shot gun and let my Baba drive the whole way. The first day, I drove the full eight hours until we stopped in Lordsburg, NM. The second day we split a 14-hour drive, then stayed in the outskirts on the east side of San Antonio. That left about another eight hours to drive to Baton Rouge. It would have been less, but we hit the city right as day-before-Thanksgiving traffic let out.
So, if y'all ever need advice about how to cram a 2-door Honda Civic with all your belongings, or how to actually enjoy a cross country road trip on I-10 - through (gulp) Texas- you know where to reach the experts!

Wow that is some packing...brings back memories
Reminds me of my trip from ATL to SD. Packed up my Camaro and drove cross country. Try driving through Texas alone and in mid-August!!! It was hot, my sound system was overheated and car was stuffy :(

I would travel 1,200 miles with you in three days (then an additional 350 that night, 360 the next day, 75 the newt, and 360 the next) any time!
