    Even the wee UK has (slightly implausible) drives this long. The distance is less - but our roads are shit! 😂

      Yours are shit? Just wait until you come here to Czechia (not really a long drive but your car’s suspension will definitely be nearly dead)

      That drives you through two different countries, imagine if you started and ended that drive in North Yorkshire driving in a straight line. I think this is what they meant by “the European mind cannot comprehend” shoutout.

        Texas isn’t a county, though, is it? US states are more analogous to countries than counties. My example is both in one country (the UK) and passing through 2 (England and Scotland) at the same time! I was really just being silly because the UK is so small but it takes so long to get anywhere.

        But yah, America is big.
