[::long drive::]- 19 Aug '03

• There'r a lot of ways to travel from city to city - including airplanes , buses , trains , and even boats.But one of American's favourite ways is by car.
• The freedom of the open road and the fun of seeing all the interesting things between here and there make a great adventure.
• Sb recently drove sb's car all the way from A , B to , C , D.
• So, xx , how's your drive up from xx ?    It was great , expcept it got kinda hot out.
• I don't know what the temperature was , but the sun was shining directly on me.   And I was stuck in the traffic , so I got a sunburn.                                                You got a sunburn through the car windshield ? --> windscreen (BrE)
• I had to roll the window 'cause my A.C. was broken. -> A.C. : air conditioning    So you had no A.C. from a drive all the way ?  1 mile = 1.60900 kms             e.g. My house is 20 miles from the airport.
  
• You were driving  in the middle of the summer , with no A.C. from A to B?
• Were you just drenched in sweat the whole way
• Luckily , I had my windows rolled down and I was driving by the coast for lots of the time , so I had the great breeze.

• How long was the total drive ?            How long does that take ?      

  -------------------------------------

• I've driven down to xx a few times.  There are some stretches of highway that are totally barren.You can drive for miles and see nothing !
• I can't even imagine  driving without air conditioning.
• Sb must have had a very good reason to be taking his car up to xx.
• Even though I wouldn't drive all the way from xx to xx in the summer,  I do like take road trips.
• Driving is much faster than a bus or a train and it's less expensive  than the plane.                    
  
• Besides that , you can stop and see all of the cool things ( which ) there are to see along the way ~!
