I have just entered the acceleration ramp

Hi everyone.  I'm Zzonkmiles, a self-identified road geek.  Thank you to the admins for allowing me to register here.

I love interstate highways because I feel like I'm "in the world," kinda like when I'm at an airport.  When I'm driving on the interstate, I often wonder where the other cars are going and where they have come from.  Maybe the minivan in front of me is coming from Disney World.  Maybe the 18-wheeler next to me has another 1300 miles to go.  And maybe the Toyota that just passed me is rushing to the airport.  I just like feeling like I'm a part of life as it happens when I'm on the interstate.

Regarding hobbies, I am primarily into video games.  If you Google my username, you'll see how much of a gaming geek I am.  But regarding driving, when I was single, one of my hobbies was to just get on the nearest interstate, drive to a random exit, turn around and come back home.  I can't really do that anymore, but I do still get the driving bug regularly and want to "explore."

My favorite interstate is probably I-85 through Virginia.  It's quite peaceful and beautiful with all the trees in the median.  My least favorite is definitely I-26 in South Carolina.  That road desperately needs widening.  Another candidate for my least favorite interstate is I-4 in Florida for the same reason.

I've also recently become interested in rural highways.  I probably drive faster than I should on those roads, but I like driving through no-man's land without all the traffic that an interstate has.

Anyway, glad to have the opportunity to talk with you all here.
