Hooniverse Asks: Did you ever wish you could take your own vehicle on vacation?

It’s been extra quiet around here lately because I’ve had a bit of a vacation. Recently, I spent some time on the islands of Maui and then Kauai. I enjoy both of those places and the rental car I had on either one was fine. Still, I wish I had my Montero with me when I was over there. It’s a great truck for island life, and it would’ve been fun to have with me. But unless you’re packing serious cash, you’re not taking a vehicle with you on a trip that requires plane travel. It’s expensive to bring luggage, imagine how much it would be to ship a vehicle!? That doesn’t mean I didn’t daydream about having my own personal vehicle with me.

Have you ever thought about taking a vehicle with you on vacation? No, I don’t mean camping. I mean on an actual trip away. Which vehicle and where?

    Sure. It’s called a road trip.

    I’ve considered the idea of taking a road trip across Canada while towing my KV Mini 1 just so I can drive it onto the ferry from Fortune, NL, to Saint Pierre and Miquelon, in order to do a couple of laps around the streets of Saint-Pierre. Because France.

    I enjoy rental cars just for the opportunity to drive something different. If anything, there’s times I wished I had my motorcycle, just because rentals are so expensive. My bike is terrible, but it’d still be more fun than most reasonably priced rental cars.

    you can! i just ran into some Swiss tourists who had just picked their VW van up from the port in Oxnard, CA and were on a cross-country road trip. they seemed nervous when i opened the window, until i asked if they were traveling. hope i gave them some warm fuzzies as they started their journey.

    i also remember seeing a 205 GTI with French plates right around summer 2020. funny time for a trip, i thought.

    When I was a valet in college in the 90s a woman checked in to the hotel and was driving her RHD Ford Sierra. She was going to be in the US for a long time so she brought her car. From England.
