Today we drove to El Paso from San Antonio. For those of you who have driven I16 between Macon and Savannah and complain about it.... you ain't seen nothin! West Texas makes 16 feel like a riveting, adrenaline packed driving experience. Similar to driving through South Dakota, the total lack of scenery is interesting for the first 5 minutes and then you sink into a kind of boredom that cannot be put into words. One thing I will say for Texas, they know how to set a speed limit through west bumble... 80mph, so we spent the whole time at around 90. There are a couple of pictures of the drive.
Dad, in case you were curious your car has a speed governor at 130mph. See picture for details.

Joe and Jeff are off on their cross-country adventure... There will certainly be stories, bound to be retold for a long time to come.

I'm amazed the two of you managed to stay interested in the scenery for 5 whole minutes.... I can imagine a look around, a look at each other, and then nothing.... but of course the roar of a finely tuned german engine.
That's a shame about the governor. Kinda takes the fun out of driving in West Tx now don't it. So how long did it take Joe to stop and disconnect it and why did I assume that Joe was behind the wheel at 130.
