I first did this drive about 30 years ago when I took a year off university to travel around the US and it was incredible. I went back about 15 years later and it was awful! Choked with slow moving traffic and lined with cops and I would never go back. I can only imagine how bad it is now. In fact I gave up going just about anywhere in the US for pure driving enjoyment for the same reason. Some drives in the near NE aren't bad and I'm sure there are many others, but with comparatively traffic free excellent driving roads minutes from my house it is basically a waste of time.
Very good article and accurate assessment of the frustration!!
