Have you ever driven cross country? What was it like? How long did it take you? Did you enjoy it? What was your reason for doing it?

I will say three to four hours, but I am living in Switzerland. So you will need to precise which country you want to drive across.
Cheers

I don't remember well. I vaguely remember wanting to take route 66 and being disappointed that it was no longer in operation having been replaced by Interstate 40. I may be mistaken about it.waht said:Far out, these you guys take route 66?

Since I made a joke that could easily be interpretted as an insult, I have no room to complain when someone takes it that way. But for you to use it as an excuse to insult 300 million other people runs up against this problem: My wife is an American. Take it from someone with lots of practice, insulting my wife is a fool's errand. I leave you to the consequences of your joke.Borek said:Ah, we started old 'mine is longer' routine.

Integral said:I have driven cross country 7 times, Oregon to Pa. It takes about 60hrs driving time. Most of my trips have been on I80, have done some on I70 and I90. The most remarkable thing is just how barren much of the trip is.
