Yes, but then you have to see fields of tulips instead of glorious pine trees!

As an American, I’d probably die if I had to see all of those tulips.

That’s just cause y’all’s roads are slow.

Texas has many roads with 80/85mph limits. (128/136kph)

Yeah, I-10 goes straight across the western most to Eastern most part of Texas and is almost 900 miles long. The average US state is larger than the average European country if you only count Russia west of the Urals. Europeans think of the US as a country similar to the UK or Germany when theu really need to think of it more like the EU and each state it’s own country. New York City to Los Angeles is almost exactly the same distance as Moscow to Portugal. Seattle to Miami is like London to Bagdad.

Europeans understand the concept of states, lots of european countries are subdivided into states. The USA is one country, a large one but still only one.

I was in Texas for the eclipse. It messed me up driving on little two lane country roads with a 75mph speed limit. Back home only the big highways get close to that

I mean if you take your time and cherry pick it, you might be able to touch 5 or six states in the trip.

Using texas as scale was funny, but you could fit that entirely in most states pretty easily.
