My First Long Drive: Its been almost a month since I got my Jetta and I had been driving all around the city and avoiding freeways and high speeds. Finally today I merged onto Loop 1 which runs through Austin and is known to be among one of the better and civilized highways. Drove all through Loop1 until it ended and changed lanes and stuff. Then decided to go onto I-35 (the interstate highway that runs through Austin) South. Drove for a while and then decided that since we (my friend and me) are going south, why not drive all the way to San Antonio. My ex-roomie stays in San Antonio and so just popped up at his place to give him a surprise. It was a nice drive ~170 miles in round about 3 hours. Now I feel that I am Highway Certified and my phobia that my car won't reach the speeds of the highway are all gone. :-)
