I heard you can drive for over 40 hours in Texas and still be in Texas. My mind can't comprehend this.
You'd have to be driving very slowly, or not in a straight line. Coast-to-coast in Canada is like 60.
Thatβs a bit of an exaggeration. I suppose, if you went in a circle or got stuck in traffic, but at an avg of 50mph 40 hours would be 2000 miles. Texas isnβt that large. It could take about 20 hours to get across though.
"Heck, I had a truck like that once."
You can drive for 40 hours in Rhode Island and still be in Rhode Island. But if you're going in a straight line, 12 hours seems to be the longest route across Texas.
Oh shoot I thought were over this
800 miles
