    Here in the UK I could spend 13 hours on the M25 and would have only gone four junctions. The American mind cannot comprehend this.

      You can do the same thing a few different ways on I-40. For real along a stretch in New Mexico and Texas, there’s very little between Santa Rosa and Amarillo. You can also do it here on the east coast, if you do about 40 laps of Raleigh, 25 if one of those hours is between 5 and 6 pm.

      I, a German, am also struggling with travel times/distances in Britain.

      Me: (looks at map) I should be there in 1h tops.

      Hours pass…

      Me: I’m only half way there? WTF!

      We have that in Texas too.

      There are millions of cars in the Austin area, and at any given time all of them are on Mopac.
