Driving to Heaven (No, Not the Tiësto’s Song)

Today is the final day of constant driving. Been driving almost everyday this past weekend, including two back-and-forth travel to Denver… Now I can tell that I quite enjoy driving in USA, and how I can understand why most Americans like to drive their own car.

It’s the interstate network.

Miles of miles of open road, waiting to be traversed by a car. And I happened to get a decent rental car, a 2009 Mitsubishi Galant. It’s not the most comfortable car I’ve ever driven, but it did well accompanying and protecting me throughout these four days. Now before I veer off to other topic, let’s go back to the interstate. It’s built for the convenience of American resident. It covers most of the USA, you can basically travel anywhere in the USA using the interstate network (save for Alaska and Hawaii), and best of all, it’s free (well, there are some toll ways if you want to be nitpicking). I just wish for one thing, make it like the Autobahn, where you can speed up to whatever you want (of course not in the potentially dangerous areas). Wishful thinking…
