I remember driving I80 through Utah and Nevada. Straight road and nothing else. After a few hours I almost considered putting it on cruise control, tying down the steering wheel, and go to sleep for a few hours and let the car keep going.

bump it up to about 160 and a herd of deer will look like a series of white streaks flashing by... dont ask me how i know

At 150'ish a herd of antelope look particularly evil and malicious from a motorcycle. Especially when you go through the herd.

Been There, Done That (the thought, not the actual act). Especially the section across the Salt Lake.

And I thought the Denver-to-Kansas City stretch of I-70 was bad...

I know someone from England that's driven the Interstate west from Chicago a few times. He said the worst part is Iowa, claimed it's "1000 miles of corn..."

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would want to "save" that POS.

Me too. It can be a bit annoying.

Tell me about it. Apparently, if you take a mid 90's Chevy Cavalier up over 110 the front end lifts up far enough that the steering wheel doesn't.
