Yeah - don't forget to pack extra washer fluid - this time of year you'll need it especially at dusk.

As far as major metropolitan areas, most of them have bypasses so its really more a question of timing. Try and plan so you're not hitting rush hour. If you have access to a traffic-enabled GPS it can be a godsend.

Unless a large city is in the middle of the 'as the crow flies' path, your GPS will keep you away from them if set to shortest distance. You'll end up on a lot of 2-way roads, with a lot of opportunities to pass which will be no problem in your 135 (it wasn't in my 128...) and you'll see parts of the country you won't see on the interstates. And, for me, the difference in time (shortest distance vs fastest route) cross country, mind you, was less than an hour out of almost 50.
