Do you smell that? That scent wafting in the spring breeze? The harsh stench of chlorine mixed with the sweet, coconutty fragrance of Banana Boat tanning oil? That, my friend, is summer lurking just around the corner, eagerly awaiting its own arrival. Before we know it, we will be sipping rum concoctions poolside, hanging out at friends’ backyard barbecues, and going on road trips.
Ah, the tradition of the summer road trip. Sure, people toss suitcases in the backs of cars and hit the open roads year-round (I see you, spring break), but summer is road trip season. School is out, the weather is great, so pack up the hatchback, because the world is your oyster!
When embarking on a road trip, it is crucial to bring along the following items: an obscene amount of snacks, your luggage (duh), and great music. Yeah, the radio is your best friend during your morning commute, but when you’re traveling through mountains and tunnels and forests, the radio will leave you high and dry. Prepare accordingly: bring CDs, acquire an auxiliary cable for your car, and cobble together an awesome iTunes playlist or seven. An awesome '90s pop jam playlist, for example.
There's no better song to jump-start your road trip than Steppenwolf's 'Born to be Wild. Looking for adventure in whatever comes our way. 'let the music take your mind' off whatever problems you may have before getting. A list of the best road trip songs from the classics to today. Have you ever been driving along the highway, belting out the lyrics to your favourite tune and look over at the people in the car next to you staring at you while laughing hysterically?

The more thieves you take down the bigger your prize in Sniper vs. Most thieves can’t be taken out with just one shot — unless you’re lucky enough to get a head shot in. 
But getting a good shot will be challenging as the thieves will dart back and forth between obstacles at varying rates of speed, sometimes deploying decoys or using other devices to aid their escape. The types of shots you make and the number of thieves you end up capturing will determine the cash and rewards you earn when the time runs out.
