Drive columnist Peter Cheney has traveled Interstate 75 countless times. This is the highway of Middle America, populated with beater sedans and overloaded pickups. I-75 takes you past the ruins of Detroit, through the interminable Ohio plains, and finally, to Florida. And it's a true road show, lined with trailer parks, giant Jesus statues, and redneck emporiums where you can buy a buy a handgun or a racist lawn ornament. It may not be the highway of dreams, but I-75 always makes for an interesting trip.
