I've driven NY-West coast three or four times using auto-driveaway
Nope.. took it into effect. Maybe it's exciting because it's somewhere new but really the highway is all the same after the first 30 miles. Maybe a little cow here or there but that's it. There's lots of construction and lots of potholes and lots of traffic and lots of rest stops. So the point is that there are lots of things that aren't joyful to the eye.

I've gone to Scotland quite a few times and loved driving (ok really being driven around) there. Everywhere I looked was different scenery. Then again lived in NY all my life and all i've seen are trees that are planted in the middle of nowhere. Even Central Park irks me. The name says it all. You walk towards Central Park and you think... eh? A park in the middle of the city? How odd. Though inside is nice but still... very irkful.

It's really up to the OP. Just update us on the drive.and as themicah said, your butt will hurt.
