I am going to downboat you because I'm a Subaru fan not because you are incorrect in your choice of vehicle.
(I actually upboated you)
When I first saw Subaru impresa back in 1998 I was a child, but I could see how special the car was. In fact, during late 90s and 2000s we had some very special cars coming out of rally.
Most movies would end faster if the main character was driving a Lancer.
- Little Miss Sunshine
- Driving Mrs. Daisy
- The Brave Little Toaster
- Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
- Homeward Bound
- Speed…
The exorcist would be a VERY different movie though...
The new testament
Lol. Reminds me of Moses wondering the desert for 40 years to go like 400 miles.
One does not simply drive into Mordor...oh hell you have an Evo? Go on you're good
I don't know not sure there is usable road? And this isn't quiet the nazgul would be waiting for them and an ambush would be easy to set up.

The Odyssey happened a long time ago. Before Google Maps. Those were the MapQuest days so things weren't so accurate and they probably got lost
and even then it was early MapQuest days and I'm sure Odysseus "knew a shortcut".
Only the best navigators could hold the map quest printout up at dashboard height with one hand and simultaneously watch the road signs, the road, and the turn by turn instructions simultaneously. Many failed and simply drove off the face of the earth.

Were they stupid?
No, they were just drawing it out for the Odysseus Cinematic Universe.
This guy was so bad at sailing, it's astounding.
I mean, he was a victim of the wrath of Poseidon, not that much you can do about that when at sea.
Which sort of paints Poseidon as incompetent. You'd imagine that the God of the sea would be able to reliably kill people at sea.
Sounds intentional to have Odysseus suffer and long for home, instead of killing him off quickly. The gods want to be entertained as well.

True, that's a fair point.
Seems to be decent at the sailing part. Navigation doesn't seem to be even a minor part of his bailiwick
Sailing with no navigation skills is a risky endeavour, as he amply demonstrated.
No argument there. I'm very glad to have had GPS whenever I've been on a boat/ship, but if I absolutely had to, the BSA taught me to use a compass and astrolabe with a current OSRS chart.
Looks like the good old "Didn't took a right at the crossroads and continued forward instead and then kept on insisting 'I know the way'" driving problem.

Honda Odyssey is a good choice for that type of trip, but I'm more partial to a Crystler Pacifica, my self.
I prefer the Christler Pacifica, personally

Yeah, but once you factor in traffic ...
Just off the upper left of the map there’s Greece, NY. It’s a Rochester suburb. Just throwing that out there.

Almost like he shouldn't have pissed off Poseidon.....
Everyone's talking about driving... but you actually can take a boat from Troy to Ithaca. Just take the Erie Canal west until you reach Montezuma, at the confluence proceed to the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, and continue south through Cayuga Lake, and at the end you'll reach Ithaca.
Easy enough and only takes a couple days at the most. I have no idea why they needed to make some movie about this.
That was the whole point, wasn’t it?
Most of that time was just hanging out on an island not traveling
Still accurate if you’re in the Russian army
The problem is they turned onto Chrysler Ave instead of hitting 890 off crosstown and once you get on Chrysler Ave it's impossible to get off and then you're just stuck at Schenectady.

Don't eat the lotuses in Schenectady.
If you're making this arduous journey, I strongly recommend stopping by the Hi-way Dairy Bar in Candor on 96B. Grab a Berry Twist, you won't be disappointed.
