Almost trip time

So in two weeks I am driving from PA to WI to stay with a friend and go to two Dream Theater concerts. I was wondering about a few things.

-Any advice about the roads or states that I'll be passing through? I keep hearing people say "dont speed in Ohio." Why? Do I have to pay tickets I get in other states?

-What are some things I can do to pass the time? I will have a laptop and a car charger so I'm thinking about watching dvd's while I'm the passenger and sending the audio through the car speakers. Any other ideas? Play HL2?

-What speed will net me the best mpg? What speed do you think I can go without being pulled over? (assuming I'm going with the flow of traffic) What speed do you go?

-What is there to do in WI or Chicago?

In ohio, be very careful. You may or may not see the cops it depends on your time of day. BUT if you dont get pulled over you WILL when you pay your toll to get out. it has happend to me. Same for the toll road in indiana. Chicago will be fun lots of traffic most of the time. Take it from me, ive been all over the place this year picking cars up for my dealership.

And what to do well that all depends on what your into. I live in milwaukee and im usually working, but i spend a fair amount of time at the bar. Thats what i do. i can give you some ideas if i know where your going in WI.

so we're here now.

It took 13 hours to get here..and we did 80 basically the whole time. We only saw 1 cop on the road the whole time.

80 mph was like 3.4k rpm :-/

and it was loud! lol 65mph is silent, but over 75 is loud :-/ oh well haha

we got exactly 35 mph with a ac on, at 80 mph, and my retard friend floors it in 5th to pass people
