I would drive 3000 miles.

I drove my car back to NY from Oregon. Jesus that's a trek and a half. It was an interesting, albeit quick trip. Some things I learned:

1. Iowa sucks.

2. Eastern Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah are awesome, to drive through at least. Incredible scenery, no cops, high speed limits, courteous drivers. Compound that with a highway that imposes very little on the landscape so one can enjoy the route all the more.

3. Despite what one sees in the movies, there are no hot hitchhikers willing to do 'anything' for that ride into the city.

4. Iowa sucks.

5. I can pee in a bottle while I drive 80mph.

6. I can drive 415miles without stopping (nor peeing in a bottle).

7. If you have the opportunity to cruise the George Washington bridge in NY...don't. It's a clusterfuck.

8. My car can cruise 3000 miles no problem. But for some reason the day AFTER I've completed my journey, the stereo will quit working. Acura owners beware, must be a design flaw.

9. Music with attractive female voices keeps me more alert than attr...male voices.

10. Hotels/motels allll along the cross country route are very busy. Who would guess all 3 hotels in Bumfuck, Idaho would be full up? Same goes for Bumfuck, Wyoming, Nebraska, etc. Call ahead or you'll be stuck turning tricks for truckers to catch a few zzz's in the cab.

11. The 'Kum-N-Go' in Nebraska is a rip off. I had to wait 20 minutes for a BJ. Kum-N-Go my ass.

12. Oh, and Iowa sucks.
