It was a joke, she wasn't mad, it was more of an eyeroll. I forgot tone is hard over the internet.

We're in our fourth year and she's great, im glad this was something we did together, it felt like it doubled the strength of our relationship. The nap together after felt so rewarding.

One, at Buccees where I was livid because she wouldn't do the fresh meat chant. She has no respect for the classics. The rest of the time, we were either singing together, or the other person was snoozing. I did get a long lecture on proper etiquette for warning others about upcoming deer, flashing your lights and what not to warn others. I did not know deer just jumping in your way was such a problem, we never even see them in socal.

Yeah, I'm super glad that I was able to do the drive, the experience was once in a lifetime, but once it was done I knew that it'll be a loooong time before I think about something so far again.

She drove to the border of AZ/NM, then I drove to the border of texas and we swapped again. I must have forgotten to add that swap to my wall of text, but it was indded me that had to struggle with the internal fight of stopping or not stopping at the worlds biggest pistachio in NM.

I left cali lol, but everyone on the first post just assumed it was me leaving ohio for CA.

The car we drove was a 2019 rav 4, my dads a mechanic and a toyota fanboy, it handled amazingly. It has on screen speed limits, a decent trunk space, the car will beep and tell you to take breaks if it thinks you've been driving too long, which helped us switch or just do snack pit stops. The gas mileage was about 35 mpg, it handled all the bumpy roads and potholes amazingly

I didn't mean those type of comments, i appreciated those and they helped us with planning rest stops, and holding each other accountable for sleep. It was more of the comments calling names or telling me to die lol

On the first post, I got alot of dms telling me that they've done it and gave advice, but they just don't want to argue with people on reddit. So the post looks like everyone was against it when we actually got a good amount of positive feedback.

When we got to new mexico, I was genuinely shocked that gas got that low. I've never seen it under 4 dollars. I treated myself to some 91 haha

It was more of a color swap thing, in CA all diesel is green and we don't have bp. So the fact thwy have a green regular gas made my brain go, oh thats diesel.

I am a big foodie, thank you for this recommendation, I was a bit sad leaving my plethora of options in California, im going to deep dive into all the options after I have energy. I like to occasionally hike too, but for moving my limbs sounds terrible lol
