Europeans do be like that.
Meh, same with US folks visiting Europe, which is actually a common movie trope. I’m sure there’s also plenty of people on both continents wo will think something through.
Just to compare

Sure, “TIL Europe is only seven countries.” Try the same but go Amsterdam -> Riga -> Athens -> Lisbon -> Amsterdam it’s 8000 km in a straight line. Europe might be smaller than North America, but it’s not that small.
In the US, the equivalent would be: Seattle -> Boston -> Miami -> San Diego -> Seattle. That’s 8500 miles (~13,000 km), and doesn’t even go to Alaska or Hawaii. I don’t think you can drive around Alaska, but if you could, it would be a similar distance.
Europe isn’t small, but it is a lot smaller than the US.
The US is a little below 10.000.000 km³, Europe is a little over 10.000.000 km³. I didn’t go to Russia, the UK, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
Whilst in all about road trips this fool better be driving at 1500mph to make these times
Mach 2 is very reasonable. Gillette makes a Mach 3.
