The program is called Exploring My America; Sears Auto Centers is choosing 21 teams to take a drive around America, and they’re picking up the tab.  They’ll give your vehicle a pre-trip inspection, give you $500 of Sears Auto Center bucks for any needed repairs, before or along the way, plus $1500 for gas, good, and lodging.  They also wage an HD video camera so you can document your great American Adventure, and the only thing you owe Sears is your story and the rights to publish the vid.  How can you lose?

And the route choices are cool too: Pacific Coast, Route 66 Coast to Coast, Atlantic Coast, Road to Nowhere, Appalachian Trail, Loneliest Road, Great River Road, Dixie Overland Highway.
