That's a drive that screams "massive narcotics please".

Yeah, driving westward through Kansas is most definitely not fun, but driving anywhere for a long time is just as bad. The only difference between driving through Missouri and Kansas is that there are definitely less white trash gas stations and adult stores in Kansas. I'm sorry, but trees and half-ass hills don't make the drive any more pleasant for me.

The only pleasant long drives I've ever had were through the Smokey Mountains and through Northern California.

Of course, once you get PAST that pit of despair otherwise known as Denver, the drive becomes breathtaking, all the way to Los Angeles. I guess the desert would get old eventually, but since I'd never seen it before even that was awesome.

As barren and desolate as western Kansas/eastern Colorado is, central Nebraska is unbelieveably even flatter and more featureless.

I LOVE the desert! New Mexico is an AWESOME drive.

i drove from KC to the North Carolina coast straight through once ............ once


it was in Datsun 280z, 2 people so there was no room, hatchback so you couldn't even lean the seat back more than 3/4 inches




UGH!!!!

Road trips seem so much more fun in the movies.

Take the few fun things that might happen... and stretch them over friggin' 40 hours... you've got torture.

Love flying - hate airlines and airports. If I can drive somewhere in a day or just a bit over that, I'll drive every time. Cheaper, less bullshit, I control where and when I go, and I'm not at the mercy of a system that cares absolutely nothing about me or my problems because I'm not a filthy rich frequent flier. 4321

Reerun_KC 02-17-2009 09:23 PM

Hey anyone know the score of the KSU vs NCC game?

UGH!!!!

Newport, Rhode Island to St. Louis - 17 hours, only stopped when I needed gas. My '85 Cutlass was certainly more comfortable than that 280Z, but it was brutal nonetheless.

I was in my early 20s when I did that - don't know if I could hack it now.

I agree, commercial flying is a pain in the ass... I freaking hate it! But private or when I fly myself, nothing is better than turning an 8 hour drive into a 2 1/2 hour flight...

Oh yeah. God I'd love to have my own plane. One of the first things I'll pick up when my lottery investments pay off.

Really?

I have looked on every major sports website and no one is even listing the game as being played?

How can a Division 1 school have a game and not be on ANY SPORTS website with a score or update....
