I'm 6'-1" with fairly long and sexy legs, and I don't find the cloth to be terribly uncomfortable unless I haven't shaved them recently

Both are the same distance (+/- 10 miles) and show only a 10 minute difference. I don't think traffic will be a problem as likely not during normal hours when i go through the bigger towns. Any oppinions on which is the more interesting drive?
The most interesting routes are ones that avoid Interstate. That being said, I-20 is probably best for your trip.

Cruise control is definitely boring, but an absolute necessity for road trips in TX. Luckily, I can't go more than about 4 straight hours of driving before having to fill up with gas, so I get to stretch my legs at least that often.

I've done 700 miles in the Z all within Texas on the same day.
