    Is this something people actually do? I know here in the states we have the cannonball run. I doubt people actually drive the whole route very often.

      It’s conceivable as an adventure trip or if a Portuguese wanted to see Northern lights. But I guess the trip NY–LA is way more common.

      The States’ population centers are on the far edges of the continent. That’s not the case in Europe, where they’re more evenly distributed.

      There’s a blog/website about the logistics.

      People have certainly done it. You can ship a vehicle around the Darien gap. Or potentially sell one car and buy another one (probably pay some customs duties).

          No they don’t. It’s super far. If one did it would be to move but without paying for a moving service or for some very long road trip like an entire summer
