Port Arthur is as east TX as it gets; and yes I drove my late 50's Caddy to Houston for dinner, taking about an hour. (check that on your map).
Mount Niederland, being the highest point around unless my memory has failed again had an elevation of 9 feet, meaning there are no hills in east TX.
I did have a neighbor who , going to Austin, had to get a policeman to park her car. The road wasn't flat enough for her to cope..
And one more:
Neighbor family vacationed to the Smokies on my recomendation; came back mid week. Couldn't handle those crooked roads. Just flat wore them out in 2 days.
Both are true stories
