This is awesome. I have lived this video game. I just finished driving a 1987 ex-military Land Rover 110 from Galveston, TX to Seattle, WA. My top speed is around 55 mph (pushing it) but most of the time I averaged between 40 and 45. I took the backroads, mostly dirt roads in the desert, whenever I could.
