So this doesn't cause a cluster of threads, any route is accepted  :-D.

US 49: There's always a friend doing better than me. (US 51)
US 6: I can do great sometimes, but there's always greater. (US 20)
I-55: I have scoliosis and just look at 55's routing.
US 85: I get used by others (I-25, US 87) but I don't say anything until it's too late.


ADD TO THIS.




Just a reminder that US 6, 49, 50, and 98 are superior to your fave routes :)


EXTEND 206 SO IT CAN MEET ITS PARENT.

US 66: I want to be famous only after my death

^^ wouldn't really describe me, but I'm not that great at giving human traits to roads that that's the only one I can think of.

My avatar, CO5, because I like to climb 14,000 foot mountains.

US Route 99 given it seems to be what most people seem to associate me with.  Personally I would probably pick the National Old Trails Road, US Route 66 or Arizona State Route 88.  I would say those are more fitting given I lived in Arizona longer than I have lived anywhere else.

MN 61: People like you, often quite a lot, but there's also an undercurrent of distrust/disconnection that you foster because you struggle to show the people who care that you also care.

I-75 I'm a pain in the ass
Nice that we both have the same thought for I-75.

Up here I have more of a distain for US-23. Heavy traffic and only four lanes and should have been widened 20 years ago. But I-75 is a major pain in the ass.

At the end of this month I have to fly to Florida and drive a trailer back to Michigan that should be some fun driving through Atlanta and Cincinnati.

Surprised no one has mentioned their age yet...

Lives in NY + 21 years old = NY 21

NE 2

That's the only route where, every time I see the route number, I think of a forum user. (It's not you, though, obviously.)

CA 38 is alright but it isn't hyper memorable either, especially being next to CA 18.

SkyPesos

For my age (18)
US 18: I don't really find anything special about that route, but then again, I haven't been on it outside of the Madison Beltline.
OH 18: One of the longest routes in the state, though isn't really important outside of being a major arterial in Akron.

As of now, my favorite state route numbered 18 is Washington's, but someone can introduce me to other ones.

How about M-18? Nothing REAL special about it but it runs in the central part of the state connecting US-10 with M-72 and in between it connects small towns, state and national forests and skirts the Houghton and Higgins Lake area. The northern part of it is kind of scenic.

Back in the day OH-18 use to extend across the entire state being one of the few Ohio state routes to end at a state line on both ends but it doesn't make it to Pennsylvania anymore.

Then you have an existential epiphany, wherein you realize you actually are that something!

Well it's more like I want to be something but nobody else actually thinks I'm that something...

But whatever it's fine I don't care.

I'll do one for the age I was for the past year
I-17: you're so gifted that you got like 19 credit hours (194/10 rounded down) from AP exams before entering college, unlike a lot of others starting from 0.

^ I wish that was me lol, but it describes a couple of people in my school.

US-23 a mix of everything. Painful freeway, Urban area, scenic lakeshore drive.

I was not aware of the one NE-2 named after himself. Where is it?
