The Ultimate Cross-Country/Road Trip

“Like a band of gypsies, we head on down the highway”—and skyway. It’s the Fun to Fly Road and Runway Rally and our intrepid editors headed south to Sun ’n Fun in an unofficial race that took the meaning out of the word race. Two small but mighty vehicles—the Remos GX and the smart fortwo—meandered their way down the eastern seaboard, enjoying the sights and experiences only a good-time road trip/cross-country can provide. See some of the adventures, and the grand finale, in this online video.
