So this isn't exactly true.

First of all, it isn't "driveable" unless you have an all terrain vehicle for the 70 mile gap in the middle of it. (they call it a "motorable road" as opposed to driveable)

 

Second of all, the earth's circumference is about 24k miles, so according to the above it's a longer drive to go from near the north pole down to near the south pole (and yes, it isn't a straight line, but it's still not working out for the math)

What I found when looking up the Pan American Highway is it's about 19k miles in length.

I have another computer next to me.  The HR drone is telling me how to fill out the 8th type of yearly eval. system we've used in my 18 years here.

Government.  It has eaten my soul.  May it choke.

One time in my "career",  Everyone in the company had to participate in an HR explanation of the "new personnel evaluation system".

after listening to an hour of BS and Trimmings, with about 200 other persons, I stood up and asked what was wrong with the "old system".

The HR "leader" asked me what "The old system" was?

I said, "if you did your job, you got annual raises.  If you didn't do your job, you got fired!"  I said, "I liked that system!"

I got an ovation!  And another hour of explanations.

HR has provided employment to an entire class of people who would otherwise have never been employed.

HR is there to protect the company and senior management. Screwing over employees is just part of the job.

I thought you could drive from Scotland to Vladivostok or southern Vietnam. Figured it might be farther.

I don't think that works as Scotland is kind of an Island, isn't it?

Surprisingly enough, the second longest continuous road in the world is in Australia at 9,000 miles, and the third is the Trans Siberian Highway in Asia.

I think I see where the original meme got it's numbers.  Someone put the 30km in as 30k miles.  Stupid metric system.

I assumed one could drive from Scotland through Hadrian's Wall, then through England, through the Chunnel into France then all points East.

One cannot drive a car through the Chunnel.

It's a railway tunnel.

No need to feel that way, amigo.

I have oft wondered about some cross-over in the middle of the Chunnel to switch from drive-on-the-right to drive-on-the-left if automobiles used it.

 

I have been on a train from France to England and back again and through the Chunnel a number of times.

Drive your automobile on at one end, drive it off at the other; but half of the time, the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Is asking for a rolling drive on dyno mounted to a flatcar a legit workaround? Or should I let the airplane-onna-treadmill guys answer that? Trying to stay within the confines of uninterrupted travel.

 

Looks hopeless as ****.
