    Meanwhile, the Canadians pull over after an 8-hour drive inside a single province of Ontario knowing they have two more days of this if they only drive 8 hours a day…

      lol! I remember when I was up there and my friend and I wanted to go visit that mountain that we saw in the distance. We gave up after driving over an hour and realizing we were not closer to that mountain.

    That US route is chosen very carefully, most of those 6 states have 7 hour routes entirely within them (and Michigan corner to corner is 10 lol)

      I’ve driven cross country 4 times and the fastest I’ve done it solo was 3 days, it’s a little faster with a driving partner and sleeping in the car.

    That same route is 5h49m by train btw

    Though booking it on the day is kinda dumb expensive (>120€) but with current fuel prices prob cheaper anyway
