Hi all,
Haven't posted here for ages, but still remember my time here posting daily back when I was in University. Always had a good feeling about the US as a result of how friendly you were.
Anyway... I'm planning my second trip to the US, we're going to Manhatten, NY for 5 nights. One of the days however I'd like to get out of Manhatten, rent an archetypal American car (the kind of thing you see in the movies) and go driving to see some sights. Not too far but enough to get a feel for non-Manhatten life.
So firstly what can I rent and where? I'm not too worried about model so long as it's big, American, with 6 or 8 cylinders and not too pricey. I saw a Lincoln Town Car available which seemed absolutey perfect though it was about $130 for a day which seemed a fair bit.
Secondly any suggestions where we can go? Must be within ~150 miles of Manhatten. I don't mind if its urban or scenic, but I would kinda like to see and partake of some 'real' North America. Whatever that is. Basically, stuff like in the movies if that helps which it probably doesn't. I wouldn't mind driving through somewhere with a lot of trees, a park/forest perhaps?? Finally it has to be girl-compatible - she isn't as interested in random urban stuff as I am.
Thanks all. In return I'm happy to discuss the UK if anyone's planning a trip. Always happy to hear about past trips here
