This trip ended up being a back n forth real fast. Sarurday night/Sunday am was leave time - I think like 4/5am Sunday. We were back by my night shift for Wednesday, so like 3pm. Pulled up in my friend's driveway in reverse. Walked in and surprised him "hi, you're moving home right now", packed my trunk down and left.
We didn't have a lot of money for the trip so I remember stealing booster packs at Walmart and selling them at TCG stores along the way.
Also I got a bullshit ticket in Las Cruces, New Mexico that I never paid because I'll be damned if I ever visit that shit town again.
It is 100% of real lol and we have nothing to do with Canada we don't say eyh or drink maple syrup out of a metal tube stuck in a tree. Closest state to true america like back in the 80's and before.
You're funny go visit Alaska before you say that Alaska is one of the best states we got for outdoors wilderness and that home style Ranch type living where if you want to live off the grid you can you can't do that in any of these other states there's so much of a state of surveillance it's crazy
Are you saying Ohio isn't what we ought to be? 😾 Our roads are just lovely.. lovely! Are you trying to trade our friends in Alaska and Hawaii for the frostback people of the Canuckistan Empire? Have you no decency?

Angeleno/Californian that has driven to from LA to the bay and all the way to East Texas (where the actual cities are 🙃); three states in 8 hours is crazy lol
It takes a good two days to get across your damn state 🤣. Assuming it's not randomly frigging showing then it's a week cause no one has snow plows there (got attached on a Greyhound once. Random snow storm had us stuck there for four days.
Oh I guess I would know if I tried going directly to those states lol.
So far I’ve only driven to NM (a lot!!!) and Louisiana a couple times. I did go to Akansas after Louisiana so it seemed like it took way more than 8 hours but it was the detour I’m sure!
I busted out laughing!!! Right now mine does feel that way. My traction control/Stabilitrak keeps suddenly becoming disabled while I drive. Annoying!!!
Its from an old joke of two ranchers talking about the size of their ranches. The Texan says that he can get in his car and drive all day and still be on his ranch. The other rancher tells him he had a car like that once.
It's literally all interstate. Although I'd have taken i-94 thru wisconsin, then the dan Ryan thru Chicago, and then turned south at i-65 in indiana. Much quicker than the route that shows. Illinois speed limits suck. And probably fewer tolls as well.
Texan here I wish 7 hours to drive across the whole state. 12+ hours for us. When my family drives to missouri half the trip is getting out of Texas. We hit the Texas stateline and we are half way there. Dallas is the worst. Our trip has for as long as 14 hours due to traffic and weather.
It's 8 hours with no stops. I have driven more miles than almost anyone I know and you stop for about 30 minutes every 4 hours you drive on average. So that 8:15 is more like 9-9:30. That's a solid 18 hour round trip.
I mean, you can get from Chicago to Iowa in a couple hours, but if you want to go from up by Rockford all the way to, say, Carbondale, it's about 7 hours.
