Yep, but, Interstates are good for getting around cities -

Sometimes it's fun to put your GPS on shortest distance instead of fastest route...

Sorry folks, the OP just triggered a back-in-the-day story -

It was 1967 (before the Internet was a source of information) I was entering Paris in a VW bug with "USA" - military license plates. Side note - at the time the French were trying to kick US military presence out of France, therefore my car was a "target" to start with.

About 4 PM, I attempted to enter this traffic circle - with a MAJOR misconception! -

"Unlike traditional roundabouts found in most places around the world, in France you must give way to the cars which are entering the roundabout."

After FINALLY getting into the circle, I worked my way to the outside and "escaped" on the first street that I could.

I did not crash.

THE END

99% of owners never try either.

The right answer: “It depends”

Lots of country driving on my most recent trip. But interstate hiways in southern IL is NO FUN. 😦

Tennessee can be entertaining in hill and mountain country. And Atlanta doesn’t have a mile of straight road and it can be fun.

This is true! But, backroads are far more interesting and so are the locals

Point well taken. Sometimes skirting the cities through the neighborhoods can be more interesting -

Suburb drives weren't a choice.

They were high heeled spiked sandals.

Ever hear if "spiking" a lawn to aerate it and increase water and nutrient penetration?

So, she is cutting AND increasing the health of her lawn.

Seeeeeeeeeeeeee

Oooo... lessons learned.

I chewed out my grandson for attempting to mow the lawn barefoot this spring. Caught him as he was wheeling it out.

this is starting to sound like the beginning of a really bad movie/porno..

"After the boss decide to close their strip club, the 6 devoted dancers come up with a plan to make enough to buy it back!"
