♫ Come away with me, Lucille,
    In my merry Oldsmobile.
♫ Down the road of life we fly,
    Automo-bubbling, you and I.

Gary Hoonsbeen took his automo-bubbling seriously, hopefully with a hat and sunscreen...
and maybe a pillow.

They must have had escort cars and probably police escorts on the interstates, but it sounds like a grueling journey.
First couple of days... fun. But sure to get tiresome after a week knowing the end's a long way off.
