Grateful for my blessings and blessed to give back, I’m giving 35 grand to anyone who messages “GRACE” on Telegram @Georgestones12, I understand that many people are struggling with bills, and I want to help reduce that burden. It’s a season of love, kindness, and blessings.
Do you know that European countries have “states”, too? And that this person crossed several of them (how many depends on the route taken) on the tour through Germany should be clear, too.
Sir, this is a shitpost
Yes, indeed.
Laughs while driving for 3 days in a single state in aus.
If you appear to be “alternative” in any way, do not drive through Texas.
I have driven through Texas three times, and I have gotten pulled over and searched every time. The cops would love to have any excuse to seize your car and cash, they hate you.
If you absolutely must drive through Texas, at least remove your Darwin fish and any political stickers, get a hair cut, remove your face piercings, and wear a cowboy hat or baseball cap or something.
I’m not exaggerating and this is not a joke.
I have lived there for 3 years before and can confidently say u have had exceptionally bad luck, or have a BOLO out on ur car.
With most states in the south it also depends on when you are there, where you’re going, and how you are getting there.
Around holidays they are out in force to deal with drunk drivers and make their yearly quota off speeding tickets and people traveling for the holidays. They know that people from out of state are the least likely to come back and fight the ticket. They are more likely to just mail the fine in and be done with it.
Certain towns are also so small that they know the locals on site, so they will stop just about anything they don’t recognize if you give them the slightest excuse. These are usually the towns off the beaten path that don’t get much traffic, so if they think they can get some ticket money from you, you are getting stopped.
Driving through some shit town that annexed a portion of a busy road just so they can lower the speed limit by 15mph for 1000ft and stop people for speeding while you have a cracked taillight, or one held together with red tape, is begging to be stopped.lived there for 3 years
So you’re saying the shitty Texas cops would treat out of state drivers differently?
Yes, actually that’s really common practice in all states. Out of staters are always tagged more for infractions because their far less likely to try to fight it in court and more likely to just pay the fine. This is what happens when police departments have quotas to meet :(

That’s my ganja smuggling route
Laughs in 1 full day on the road and still in Bahia leaving from the Salvador(Capital) to Itabatã (In the south of the state)
By the way same distance from Germany
Driving through Nebraska is literally hell.
Yes it is.
ITT: bunch of amateursBavaria, Hessen, Niedersachsen and Hamburg
I’ve been driving for years and I’m still in Spain.
Skill issue
At some point you need to actually leave the roundabout.
Yeah, the police were very emphatic about that.
Oh yeah? Well where I live I can drive for a solid 24 hours and never leave my county.
Because I live on O’ahu and I’d be driving in circles (or sitting in rush hour traffic coming from Westside into town, yeah)
It takes 2 hours to drive a circle around Guam.
Takes 2 days to drive from Thunder Bay to Toronto. Still in Ontario.
Another four hours to Cornwall and you are still in Ontario.
Add Dryden as the start point. :)
I did it once in 15 hours. I only nearly died 3 times.
Were you speeding all the time?
Google maps says that journey would currently take 14:45, presumably at a legal speed, and while that’s long enough to split over two days, you probably can do it in one go. It’s not speeding that’ll get you, but tiredness.
I was in my mid twenties and had a supply of caffeine. Was well rested before starting. What nearly got me each of those 3 times was moose, once during sunset/twilight and twice in the night. Especially at night there is not enough time to react to moose that run out onto the road; I’ll be the first to admit I got very lucky on my run.
On my return I scheduled my trip such that I could do all my driving in daylight hours and stopped at a (iirc) provincial park for the night and slept in my car. The following morning just an hour or so after sunrise I saw the result of an Escalade hitting a moose, and it reinforced just how lucky I was on my trip south.
Further to the timing, I was occasionally speeding a bit, (during daylight) but for the most part stuck to my vehicle’s optimal fuel efficiency speed of 87km/h. I stopped once for petrol (and coffee) in Sault Ste Marie.
Wouldn’t they have to be?
Only if they were a stupid fucking asshole
And then the Aussies show up.
Getting in your car and being bitten by a spider that puts you in a coma for 3 years doesn’t count as driving.
I think 4 people live in that part of Australia outlined by Texas.
Four! Calm down, maybe two at the most.
It’s not America’s fault that Australia has no frickin idea how to properly size its states
Nah, these are the right sizes. The middle of the country is mostly unpopulated desert (and then Alice Springs). If you mark deserts off as their own states, the snakes and dingos refuse to pay for road maintenance and that’s how you get Mad Max.
Are talking countries or states?
8hrs on the road and you haven’t left your driveway
Shoulda started on the southern Maine border. You can touch 10 states in about 8 hours.
(ME NH MA RI CT NY NJ PA DE MD)There’s another layer of joke to the meme that Midwesterners would rather drive 20 hours than go through all of the trouble of flying or taking a train.
Granted I’ve mostly encountered that sentiment outside of the large cities where to fly or take the train would also involve driving for 2-4 hours then figuring out long term parking and then transfer all of your stuff for the train/flight, endure all of the delays of taking a plane/train and then there’s a solid chance the destination is also car centric as heck so then you have to borrow/rent a car at the destination, and rapidly the cost both monetarily and in time starts making a lot of sense to road trip
Yeah, the east coast is great for just collecting states. Come out west, and some states can take 12 hours to cross – a mostly straight corridor.
Amatures.
That’s a beautiful resort name
The name? Sure. The hotel itself? Not so much.
I suspect they might have meant the other end
the other end looks a bit better, but is kinda boring
Windsor to Sioux Lookout is similar if you stay in Ontario.
Surely you can do better than that. NZ almost has you beat.
You’re comparing a state to an entire country. Perth in western Australia to Cairns in Queensland is 49 hours of driving.
It’s also nowhere near as beautiful as the drive from Cape Reinga to Bluff
At least you have a road that reaches diagonally across WA. If Alaska did it would take a lot longer than that
Alaska w/ an area of 1.7m sq/km or 663k sq/Freedom Units compared to Western Australia 2.5m sq/km or 975k sq/Freedom Units I’m not sure about that… But I suppose it’s possible.
It’s a really long drive from Utqiagvik to Ketchikan or even Proudhoe Bay to Juneau because you have to wait for climate change to make building the roads feasible
Many of the roads across the interior are probably gravel. At least they were when I last journeyed there. The ones along the West Australian coast are paved though. They form what’s called Highway 1 (or at least it used to be).
