I know exactly what you mean. Though my longest drive has only been 7 hours west (Ohio) from NYC, I'll say the following: The first pothole I hit after driving for 7 hours was on the NY interstate. Pathetic.

I went to Texas last year and their highways are so much better it's not even funny. And it's not just the highways, but people there actually know how to drive, unlike here with all the constant road rage and crazy taxi drivers.

Texas they can't drive at all. Every ice or snowstorm the city shuts down because of all the accidents. Now if you prefer slow drivers than that's a different story
