Scott Fisher of Las Vegas, Nevada decided that a one-year road trip across North America was exactly what he needed in order to unwind.

Since starting his trip from Las Vegas last spring, the owner of a 1967 Datsun Fairlady Roadster has covered more than 30,000 miles (48,280 kilometers) spread across 44 states and 7 Canadian Provinces. Surprisingly, most of the trip was covered with the top down.

“I got up into the Northwest when it was hot in the South, and I got over into the Northeast for fall, which has allowed me to keep the top down, maybe 80 percent of the time. I drove through the polar vortex cold snap. Car even ran well through that. Started right up, idled, didn’t seemed phased by it at all,” says Fisher.

The man has blogged his entire trip with the classic car and came to Nissan’s attention, with the company’s U.S. subsidiary inviting him on a plant visit while he was in Tennessee.
