for flat and boring--NOTHING beats driving across Kansas. Once you leave Manhattan, the most exciting thing is finding out they actually have a ROCK (as in igneous) museum!

I used to love my job in Dallas--I got to get out of the office and go visit other people in their offices all the time. And hang up posters in every store window from Plano to Mesquite. :)

These boring highways need to have speedlimit bonuses on the hour for ten minutes to make it more exciting. They could deck the speedlimit signs out like Vegas billboards and have them flash with ecstasy for the ten minute period. Just think if you could look forward to driving at 160mph every fifty minutes, heck, I'd just drive the road for kicks.
