I can relate, having worked in civil engineering just out of college.
The first time I drove through Texas was a surprise. It took some changes in how I viewed navigating where I wanted to go, and a different strategy for figuring out where to get off, and get back on.
Something else I found odd was how that style didn't carry over to some of the more rural parts of the state.
And the 85 mph limit out West was awesome.
I found the mechanical limit for Monstro's top end out there. It felt good to be rolling along at speed, the road surfaces are in good condition, and very smooth. I'd like to go there in one of my cars.
