YOu haven't been lost until you've been lost on a remote road in Tennessee (IIRC) in a motor home with a mercedes on a tow bar behind. We thought we were heading for a camp ground and got onto a road that went down a kindof mountainside which was very bumpy and a couple of miles with noplace to turn around. by the time we reached the bottom I had torn the mounts for the sway bar off the front of my 220d.

The interstate from Knoxville through Atlanta on the way to Florida in spring break is about the worst stretch of road. The last two times i went that way we got into traffic jams that lasted hours. I will not pass that way again at that time of year at least.

Driving through Chicago on the way to Wisconsin is pretty rough too, or trying to get anyplace in Chicago on the interstate system...and probably about any time too. I went up at 200 am once to pick up my (crazy) sister at O'Hare and got stuck in a jam because they had the road shut down for repairs. there was not much traffic but they weren't letting it go through!
