These Are The Worst Road Trips You've Ever Taken - Jalopnik

A Jalopnik reader roundup turned up plenty of road trips that stopped being “vacation” and started looking like pure survival. In one Chicago-area winter story, a blizzard nearly doubled a two-hour run to Chicago Midway Airport for Christmas-related pickup: after a flight was canceled, the couple’s turnaround stretched to about six hours at roughly 30 mph, and they were stuck in the road about three miles from home before a 4x4 couple pushed them through. Other anecdotes include getting trapped on snowy Vermont terrain despite 4WD and damaging a 2017 BMW on a major pothole on I-78 near the NJ/PA line.
