You're being needlessly aggressive. The comment to which you are responding was raising a reasonable point.

You can raise a point without an ad hominem attack, mturmon. Happily standing-by my comment.

> You're being needlessly aggressive.
The first line of the abalone's post was needlessly insulting. I'm not saying that tit-for-tat is OK, but I can see what provoked the outburst.
Last year I drove from Florida to San Francisco. We did it over 5 days, my wife and I with our dog.
We stopped as-needed and always more than 10 minutes. Just filling the tank & handling payment takes that long. But in reality, you NEED to clean the windshield to clear off the bug splatter. And you NEED to use the facilities. Probably you and your passengers. And you really WANT a moment to stand up and stretch your legs anyway.
Does it always take 30 minutes? Certainly not. Twenty? Probably more like it.
"Just not accurate"? "enthusiasts need to pretend?" From where I'm sitting your comment here is a contender for A-hole of the Thread award. Congrats, you must be so proud.
I take issue with your accusations. I wrote what I wrote in good faith based on my somewhat recent experience with the cross-country road trip. I don't look politely on somebody like yourself suggesting otherwise.
