Your trip reminded me the trip i had from gainesville,fl to San Diego. We had only 7 days (last spring break) of holiday so we were 3 friends driving non-stop (we only stopped to buy gas, food and we slept in the car while one of us was driving) We went there in 34 hours and came back in 36. Texas is really too big and totally empty, especially the fucking desert takes so much time to pass. But the good thing is with a good quality radar detector, you can pass the desert averaging 100-110 mph. We only had a ticket in El paso, texas for careless driving, and changing the lanes without signaling. We completed the trip in 7 days driving like crazy all over the I10.

Btw, we were driving a golf gti which is a total disaster. This car's top speed is around 122 mph (beleive me the engine was about to blow out) and when you compare to the european version of the car; the ones in the usa has older technology. The european version of the car can go up to 140 easily. And the car does not has an overdrive technology thats why the rpms were up to 4-5 even when you are making 90-100 which fucks up mpg.
