I love to drive cross-country.  For thanksgiving we visited OH to stay with
my sister and her husband.  The trip was pretty enjoyable, except for that
piece through NY city.  Next time we'll take the northern route to avoid
NYC.  Route 80 is fun though, the PT Cruiser was up to about 110 MPH at one
point, and sustained it for around 50 miles until we had to slow down for
traffic.  (it had plenty left too, if not for the speed limiter I bet I
could get up to ~135)

RI to CA took us 5 days when we moved out - hauling all our stuff in a
Budget Rent-A-Truck, dragging a car behind us.  CA to RI (moving back) we
shipped our stuff using ABF, and the trip only took us 4 days.  Some parts
of the country you can get up to about 90, and still get passed by tractor
trailers.  Talk about unnerving...
