Reddevil, have you seen what the "flyover" part of the US looks like with it's interstate highway system. Sometimes I wonder if people on the coasts even have a grasp of what it's like. Here in Montana I can get on the onramp and after 30 minutes completely lose my mind trying to take it slow and save gas, and kick it up to 75 mph. 8 hours later like that with only a 10 min pitstop I still haven't even left the state. I don't know if the thin air is helping or hurting. Few other cars, pass a few, be passed by a few, don't get me wrong I love it, but I wonder what would be the ideal every other week commuter to the oil fields of North Dakota so many of my friends have to make. Thank God I only do those trips for fun and recreation 4-5 times a year.
