Drove through Texas..............Only state more boring to drive through was New Mexico

J

I disagree. Kansas. Not only is kansas evil and the state and I hate burning strong for each other, but it's terribly boring

Oh, Kansas isn't THAT boring.

....I had a bad experience.....

:wtf: umm try Arkansas and Kansas for starters. I haven't been that many places but those were surely more boring to drive through. Took the Kansas route on the way to Colorado and the New Mexico route on the way back. Much better scenery in New Mexico.

East Texas is pretty much driving straight if your on I10, if you drive curvy county roads through the woods it is great. Central and Midwest Texas is the Hill Country, and there's 80 MPH speed limits in West Texas... You have to be going 105 before you get a ticket that won't allow you to take Defensive Driving to waive it.

Personally, I hate the interstates. I can easily see how Texas would be boring if you never left I-10/I-20, since you're missing pretty much 90% of the stuff to see and do...unless you like Wal-Marts and McDonalds...

Hell on the right day you can do 105 on Highway 70. Beautiful scenery around Sweetwater...

I was driving from winter park FLa to MN... in a weekend. as in left friday night 9:30 had to be at work at 7:00 on monday.

The whole drive was great.. Untill we went through Kansas. We had to get of the big cross state highway, we could not get back on, there was a road black and I was in a turck to big to squeeze through. No one helped us at all. I ended up going north, and getting the wrong directions, as another major highway was shut down and had no where to go. We got sent west instead of east. The total detour pluss me going the wrong way and not finding a place to turn around cost us on the edge of 5-6 hours or more. Then while leaving 3 of the 4 gass stations were closed. We were near empty, We had to pay to get on the highway while we were entering and paid to get back on just to leave the state. I hate it there.

Also, they don't seam to have de ice windsheild wash.... none. It was frigid there too.. but no one even carried the stuff. so I had an iced over windsheild with what ever crap they salt the roads with. Had to pull over every 20 miles to wash the windsheild while only going like 30.

there is more, but it's too painfull ATM to recall.

When I was in college, back when Abraham Lincoln was president, we didn't drive cars. College students nowadays not only drive cars, they drive them in such a way they make the Japanese kamikazes look sane and reasonable by comparison.

Love my ecostats teacher :woot:

Anyone know how to take the dash apart in a '00? Silverado to replace the radio? I've never done it in that style of truck before, done all the earlier ones but not the late model ones.

One of the guys here just picked one up and wants a different radio in it, haven't looked at it yet but I told him it wouldn't be a problem, its already got a aftermarket in it and its just crapping out on him.

Hence the word drive through.

I didn't leave in Interstate except to stop for the night at a friend of the family's home.

Killer house great family. Shitty interstate.

Plus Kansas is better cause at least when I stopped for food and gas the waitress' or counter jockies were always with full teeth. Texas, not so much. Hell one of the women there had a dip on while she was pumping gas into the old xploder.

I just hate Texas by default. I'm from Upstate NY. Do I need any further reasoning?

with the big cities; Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Lubbock, Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, etc. it really does depend on which area and in some cases what side of the railroad tracks you're on. Few things can compare to the beauty of the Texas Hill Country on a nice spring day IMO

I'm sure there were nicer parts to the cities that I saw as I stayed fairly close to I10
