    Movies are the perfect way to escape all of those pesky responsibilities that come with the real world.

    You know the dreaded word we’re about to drop in here – yup, “adulting”.

    If you happen to have a job nailed down, and your bank account is raided by a series of debit orders just when you think you’re rolling in the dough, chances are you don’t have much time for road trips.

    For now we recommend you watch, or rewatch, some of the best road trip movies to ever make the big screen.

    We’re also offering you the chance to win a R50 000 trip of a lifetime with mates, as well as some essentials to take along, but more on that later.

    Little Miss Sunshine

    A family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant take a cross-country trip in their VW bus. That’s the basics, because this one really veers off the road.

    Something to jog your memory:

    Natural Born Killers

    An unhinged Woody Harrelson teaming up with Juliette Lewis, directed by Oliver Stone – what’s not to love?

    Dumb and Dumber

    Say what you will about Jim Carrey and his art projects these days, but back in 1994 him and Jeff Daniels ruled the roost with this zany comedy.

    Also, that car covered in faux doggo fur is one of the best road trip vehicles ever.

    Into the Wild

    Not exactly the happiest ending to this one, but with an Eddie Vedder soundtrack and some incredible scenery this is an instant classic.

    Pity Emile Hirsch has gone a little off the boil these past few years.

    Almost Famous

    If you don’t like this movie and everything it stands for I will fight you.

    Not really, but who hasn’t dreamt of running away with a band and living that rock ‘n roll lifestyle?

    A few honourable mentions that just didn’t make the cut – Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Thelma and Louise, Easy Rider, Crossroads, Road Trip.

    I’m about ready for a road trip myself, so here’s something to sweeten the deal.

    We’re offering two readers the chance to each win FIVE R100 Butler’s Pizza vouchers and a case of Wolftrap Red wine.

    Something to nibble on along the way, and something to sip on when you’ve reached your destination.

    Here’s how you enter – follow the steps below:

    • Send your best (funny is always good) road trip story to damon@2oceansvibe.com (say hi, he’s new and we told him you’re all good people).
    • If you have a picture that won’t hurt, but make us smile or laugh and you’re in with a chance.
    • Make it short and sweet or bust out an essay – your choice.

    We will give them all a read, and we will let you know who wins on August 31.

    Our winners must collect the prizes from the 2OV offices on Loop Street (that’s Cape Town CBD), or send a friend to collect on their behalf.

    Fancy a R50 000 road trip for you and three friends? Entering only takes a few clicks and is FREE – find out all of those details HERE.
