because new jersey is the dumbest state (no other state on the east coast messes with I-95... it's a straight shot from florida to maine, except, of course, in new jersey, where they have their shitty little turnpike and therefore feel empowered to turn I-95 back on itself, abruptly switching its name to 295 and then ending it in the middle of NOwhere so that you are guaranteed to undergo the extreme aggravation that are panhandle left turns! come on new jersey, get your shit together already. nobody likes you. at least TRY to fit into the union and maybe the acute animosity you bring out in the public will be dulled to a general ignorance as in the case of your sister state, delaware) it turned night and pictures no longer said so much about the trip. too bad i can't give you a little taste of the smells from that rental car though. Hoo-boy, that would sure learn you a thing or two about this little awesome roadtrip extravaganza that is now over.
