    Finally! I was going to comment that this thread was just a dick-swinging competition. Glad you brought the pics to prove it!

    It's the mythical Double Dick of Norway and Sweden with the mighty Finland Ballsack at the ready. Double Dick is more than twice as good as just sad Single Dick.

    Well we're talking about real countries here, not empty wilderness!

    You mean like Dubuque, pop. 60k?

    The path I drew for Sweden takes you via about 7 million people, with 100k+ littered cities along the way. If I were to guess the route likely has a similar population density along it as the Germany route, while being longer.

    You should check out Western Australia. Texas is tiny in comparison.

    Edit to add:

    I think you can also drive in California in a straight line for 16 hours. I mapped it once during a slow work day lol

    Yeah, I5 will take you from Mexico to Canada. And that drive across CA is long as shit when you’re going north to South.

    And CA has some world-famous high-traffic spots around places like LA, which makes it even worse during commute hours.

    San Diego to Oregon is, IMHO, better done as a 2 day drive. And both of those days are still going to suck.

    If you're on the road, it's wise to hit peak outside of urban centers.

    It’s kind of hard to avoid getting screwed around places like LA, the Bay Area, or Sacramento. You kind of have to go through them, and unfortunately, most of the side road shortcuts are no longer secrets. GPS has been offering up those shortcuts to drivers for a while now, and even the workarounds are slow.

    Your best weapon is to avoid those areas during commute hours and to plan ahead.
