Just finished watching Six feet Under. In the end the art hoe drives from LA to New York
Do people really drive 4500km instead of taking an airplane ? Thats like 4-5 days on the road.

Road trips are fun and have an aspect of freedom a serf like OP could never enjoy.
You're right, as a European i really do not get it. And it doesn't count as a road trip if you are alone, its just long and boring.
How's she going to sleep with random guys along the way if she has someone with her?
Solo long distance driving is a test of endurance and a view into internal strength. You REALLY don't get it.
You guys have a functional rail system and half a dozen countries on your border.
test of endurance
time to meditate, just hope you don't get stuck in traffic
its something every man should do at least once in his life, it's not expensive, it's not too dangerous and you learn a little something about yourself
This.
A few years back, some friends and I got hooked on The Big Texan in Amarillo. It might have been spawned from a KOTH episode. We thought, 'frick it, let's go.' Drove from CA to Texas just for a fricking restaurant and it was incredible.
You just lack the temper for it. My dad likes driving 1200km alone to go skiing.
Enjoying the scenery is part of the fun. If you can't stand to be alone as you take it all in then that is a you problem. Others do it just fine
I take an 8-10 hour solo drive (each way) every year over to spend a weekend in a city I enjoy visiting. I could fly, but I prefer to drive because it's comfy and meditative and beautiful and I can have my car with me to get around where I need to go (no uber/lyft, no rentals). Sometimes I'll just decide to stop somewhere because it looks interesting, too. You don't always have to be in a hurry.
It's what we do in this country. You wouldn't get it.
You just wouldn't get it.
She had all her shit with her, she did not have to be in NY on any dead line because (if you were paying attention) the job she was moving out for in the first place fell through at the last second, and it was in 2004/early 2005 when gasoline was still very very cheap. On top of which she's driving the original prius getting 60mpg. All of these add up to this being a moronic QUESTION.
Is it comfy driving on big American roads or does it get boring after 500 miles of cornfields?
Ideally you have friends/cities you plan to stop in along the way
The real trouble is from the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains, especially if you're taking the northern route, it's basically 16 hours of nothing till Denver
you can do most of that trip at ~100mph
It's really comfy. You just don't get it, do ya?
>t. Taken many cross country road trips.
Claire should have gone gay when that cute lesbian tried to convert her but I guess it was too obvious. The irony that she fell for Big Republican wiener is almost as good I guess.
As a kid my family did a 3 day drive every christmas to be with my grandparents halfway across the country.
One time we took Amtrak. One time we flew.
I have no idea why they chose to drive. It was boring enough for me playing videogames and napping in the back seat.
Road trips are lame when you're with family. Road trips are mainly designed for friends or siblings you really bond with.
She got lost on the way and murdered
No, she clearly lived to a very old age.
europeons don't get it because they don't live in a big beautiful country with every type of geography you can imagine, everything looks the same.
tragic
Outside of the Alps and maybe Greece, Euro geography is boring as hell.
>"I am a European and we don't do <common thing>"
>Actually is some limp wristed gay from Benelux
I have friends who have driven their cars from my Eastern European shithole down to Spain, Italy and Greece and back.
US at the end of the day is a single country so even if California is different from Texas different from Florida different from New York, it still doesn't feel as foreign as Austria does to a German
>Actually is some limp wristed gay from Benelux
It is rather funny how these postage stamp sized countries think they can speak for an entire continent.
Europeans are like israelites, they claim the most convenient label for the argument at hand. They'll claim to be European when it suits them and improves their credibility by saying all Europeans do/think one thing or another, then if someone puts the European label on them for something that makes them look bad they'll screech about how Europe isn't just one country and Americans are ignorant. Literally the same as israelites calling themselves white until there's a chance to score oppression points by claiming israelites are nonwhites. You can't win, they'll just weasel around it back and forth infinitely.
Needs her car.
Road trips rule. There's no way to explain it - you just gotta go on one to find out.
It's called freedom. Something you poors would know nothing about.
Europoors really can't comprehend how big the US is
>massive drop after season 2
>total slog to finish the rest
>still shed a few tears at the end
Noticed once Ghost Dad stopped showing up it took a nose-dive. Ghost Nate wasn't as good even if the idea was sound. Also frick whoever Nate's hippie gf was they were bad for each other. At least Brenda was intellectual.
>ghost nate
It do be hittin sometimes doe
Europeans be like "why do you complain about gas prices in the USA and Canada? Here in Europe it is $5 per litre!" (meanwhile they only add 500km onto their odometer annually). We drive for days around BC. My dad drove 18hrs all the way to Yellowknife through the Rockies, and my brother drove 36hrs with him from Vancouver to Winnipeg and back for a funeral. This is what we do here. Can't take le beciclet everywhere.
It's about the journey, not the destination.
Weird how in the ending she wasn't with the family when her mom was dying
You're supposed to go on road trips while listening to 70s rock (because that was when most of the best road trip songs were made).
>long journey juxtaposed with life journey
>hurr durr why thoughever
Europeans will never understand the magic of America
Watch more movies, pleb.
