The friend of mine who I was planning this with and who I'm super totally crushed out on and in love with lives in Zurich right now, and he says I have to see Switzerland with him. so it stays on the list. Plus I've heard that it and Austria are fun to drive.

And you're right about France. I was going around the coast through spain so I needed coast. Someone draw me a better line through France, but missing Paris.

I did Paris in 10th grade and liked it. I'd like to go back sometime, but i WOULD want to spend a couple weeks there, and would thus probably skip it this trip.

similarly I might skip the british isles altogether and then do a UK/Ireland trip some other time.

I don't really wanna do too much of Italy but said friend said totally do florence. Rome doesn't strike my fancy much anyway. I'll go sometime i hope but its not a priority.

I'm almost leaning towards that. Again, just cause a city's marked on the map doesn't mean i'm stopping there.

Bwahahaaahaaaa ... ZING!

According to Top Gear (and who are we to question them?) the Swiss police regard traffic offenses as little short of mass murder.

That's Florence Mansuitti, yeah? I hear she's hot. Totally do her. Twice. (if you're still into that sort of thing).
