Fully agree. I even prefer the music turned off. I've driven for days like that, it's the ultimate way to travel. If I had the money, I'd book a one way ticket to Italy, and drive a new Lamborghini back home to Norway; stopping by wherever I wanted to along the way.

A friend of a friend of mine sold his business many years ago, and after he had sailed the globe, he took a plane to New Zealand and bought a Harley Davidson motorcycle down there. The he drove it back to Norway; using 6 months to do so (some ferry rides along the way of course); but not a bad way to spend half a year on the planet.
