                This is one reason there is a thriving Southern-based automobile industry (BMW in South Carolina; Mercedes in Alabama; Honda in both Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama; Toyota in Tennessee, Alabama and Kentucky).




                (Yes, I know foreign car companies open factories in the US, I just find it funny that ALL of the Southern auto industry is foreign.)

                  That's because ALL of the american auto industry is based around Detroit (and thus their major facotires are in the midwest)...

                          They are, secretly, dimensional portals that connect to the mainland.
                          Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                              It probably deals with the standardization of limitted access highways.

                              Including long straightaways for possible use as emergency landing strips that kind of thing. Not necessarily an interstate per se but built to interstate specifications.

                                I think it's both a standardization and, probably more importantly, a funding issue. The landing strip issue, IIRC, is more urban myth than factual.
