Wow, great trip. As a foreigner/alien here I love long road trips there is so much to see and I have done many of the Southern parts of your trip. I made the mistake once of driving Phoenix to Flagstaff at night and so missed some great views. This was my last roadtrip:
BABE Rally 2008
Which I highly recommend to anyone, and here is a picture of my car (on the trip) in Alabama:
And some of the cars on the Tail of the Dragon:
