They are, they are terrible! A few years ago my family took a roadtrip across country; from PA to California, and all the way back (trying to hit all new states on the way back). It was the only vacation I ever really went on...
6 people; 2 adults and 4 kids (one being a 2 year old baby), 1 van, and weeks of driving in the hot summer weather. x_X Was terrible! Whenever we stopped it was relaxing, especially once we made it there and hit the beaches, but the it was so terrible being in that car...
The breaks even stopped working once, and the car was driving right towards a cliff edge, and not even the emergency breaks worked, so my dad cut the wheel and hit a tree instead. He's a mechanic, fixed it fast, but at the time it was scary as hell. o.o
Yeah... roadtrips... no fun until you reach your destination!
