I would have hit Mexico, then jumped a plane to Latin America. Turned some tricks, rolled some tourists, built up bank and then started looking at other countries to relocate to.
That must have been a crazy conversation they had on their way from Nevada to Boston.
'Did you remember to take the plates off the car?'
'Oops'
'Did you remember not to pay for the lighter fluid with your credit card?'
'Oops'
'Did you remember not to leave a note on the front door saying we were going to Boston?'
'Oops'
If you're not out of the country by the time the Feds start looking for you then you may as well just drive to the nearest donut shop and wait for them to nab you. He should've taken whatever cash he had and gone straight to Mexico then made his way to Fiji or Costa Rica or something.
