Interstate 10

Share definition
The most rural Interstate (except maybe I-8). Between San Antonio and Los Angeles, I-10 is either in a large town or in absolute nothingness. It has an intersection with I-20 in the middle of nowhere in Texas, 130 miles from El Paso and 450 miles from San Antonio.

Of somewhat interest is "The Thing". I myself do not know what that is but it is located near Texas Canyon, Arizona, on I-10.

I-10 passes through these major cities:

Los Angeles, Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso (even though nobody would put it on this list), San Antonio, Houston, New Orleans, and Jacksonville.
"Wanna go see The Thing?"

"Where's that?"

"Nowhere, Arizona, on I-10"

Tim Pawlenty

Share definition
The governor of Minnesota who proceeded to fuck up the state. Because of him and his idiots in legislature, Minnesota may go into a state shutdown.
When Tim Pawlenty leaves office I'll be sure to throw a party.

Interstate 80 Iowa

Share definition
300 miles of...farms, smelly farms, corn, even smellier farms, and...Des Moines...and Davenport too.

Features a 73-mile branch route in I-380. Most branch routes are relatively short.

Also has a 14-mile overlap with I-35 in Des Moines.
A driver on I-80 in Iowa passed out from the smell of nearby farms.

Possibly the worst freeway in the Twin Cities except maybe Crosstown 62. It certainly has the two most dangerous interchanges in the metro, filled with weaving and tightly spaced interchanges, at I-35E and also at a huge interchange with MN 51 and US 10. Also has a crappy interchange at I-35W and and a useless dual-signage route with I-94, which is its parent route anyway.
"The fastest way to Minneapolis from here is I-694 to I-35W."

"Let's take Highway 100 or 169 to I-394 instead, because I don't want to get killed."

"Agreed."

Fish Lake Interchange

Share definition
The interchange of I-94, I-494, and I-694 in Maple Grove, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. The interchange marks the western ends of both I-494 and I-694. Often congested on eastbound I-94 in the mornings, sometimes too early to be imagining traffic jams like that.
I-94 East is jammed up from the Fish Lake Interchange to 95th Ave.

Wanna take US 10 instead?

You bet.

Interstate 76 (Western)

Share definition
One of two interstate highways with the "76" designation (the other being in Ohio and Pennsylvania with about 3 miles of Jersey mixed in), this is an extremely boring nowhere freeway. Its sole purpose is connecting Denver to Chicago and Omaha (via Interstate 80).

It runs from Interstate 80 at Big Springs, Nebraska, through absolute nothingness for 180 miles, and then ends at Interstate 70 in Denver with NO WARNING. Without knowing it, you are now on Interstate 70, heading west towards the potentially dangerous Rocky Mountains.
"Well, kids, here's Interstate 76!"

"zzzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

"Only 186 miles to Denver!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"No, traffic kills on that freeway."
