    The big difference here is that most Europeans would never make that drive, while an American would cherish it as a holiday.

      To be fair, the US has the better National Parks that one could visit along such a trip. Europe is denser.

      Is this something people actually do? I know here in the states we have the cannonball run. I doubt people actually drive the whole route very often.

        It’s conceivable as an adventure trip or if a Portuguese wanted to see Northern lights. But I guess the trip NY–LA is way more common.

        The States’ population centers are on the far edges of the continent. That’s not the case in Europe, where they’re more evenly distributed.
