That sounds extremely exhausting. I flew to Japan once back in 2000, that wiped me out. You really must love driving, I hate driving. But, everyone is different so enjoy it.
Ah I do love driving! I always volunteer to drive, although my friends aren't always keen on riding with me (I live by Interstates 80, 81, and 84, so that means you go 80, 81, and 84 mph on them, right?) I kept having dreams where I would drive way out west very far and such. No drive is longer than 5 hours; it's about 70 hours of driving spread out over 18 days or so
Not speaking about you personally. But in general humans are extremely impractical. The desire to speed is simply an appeal to risk taking, and there is necessary risk taking, like getting to the moon, and ego. I used to like sports cars, but hate them now. Not only is there more risk to injury the faster you go, but because we have raised the national speed limit, we go through tones more oil, on top of stupidly still being stuck on it. I stick to just under the speed limit to avoid a ticket and I keep my distance from the vehicles in front of me. I figure it this way, I really don't give a fuck where someone needs to go, they aren't going to pay my ticket if I get pulled over. And if they tailgate me, that to me shows they have no concern for the safety of others on the road.
