One of the annoying things about America is also one of the great things: the culture of driving everywhere. Sure, it's annoying when you think of all the beautiful, walkable communities we're missing, but it all becomes worth it when you set out for the Great American Road Trip.

There's no feeling quite like it-- the freedom of the open road, the feeling of soaring between states, the thrill of knowing that it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. Even better if you have a road buddy with whom to share your adventure. Some of the best types of bonding are done between the driver seat and the passenger seat (you can speak more candidly if you don't have to look at each other). Not to mention the permission to snack at will, using sour gummy worms and Cheez-Its as your fuel. And we're coming up on peak road trip season, summer. So let these memes be your inspiration, and hit the road with two hands on the wheel.
