Time is time that's for sure, but I'd rather drive the west on the 2 laners, you can do 60 miles on those no problem, back east you have too many Burgs, but I'd still rather drive from Cincinnati to Boston without seeing a turnpike and I have several times.

That's America, not the "flair" on the suspenders of some kid from the suburbs named "Chance" who brings me 2400 calories of grease as I watch the trucks blow by.
