Makes me wonder what a road trip back in the 1950s, when they built the interstate system. Each town would be unique, no Starbucks, no McDonalds, no Dennys, no chains at all...
it probably really sucked
I remember my grandfather talking about taking a day trip out to Long Island, from northern New Jersey, back in the 50s and 60s. Check your spark plugs, change the oil, air up and check the tires, prepare the car for what amounts to like a 30 mile journey. Then do it all again when you get back.
I drive around 500 miles per week these days, and I can go weeks without worrying about how my oil is or whether my tread is about to detach. Yeesh.
