Gannon, I agree with you about the Thai Tip - but for someone driving through NM for the first time [[and second and third, etc.) they must eat green chile. There are plenty of places to get some, but my favorite is the green chile cheeseburger at the Owl Cafe [[east side of Eubank, immediately north of I-40). Can't miss it because the front facade is a giant owl. If one is here in the a.m., then a breakfast burrito, also loaded with green chile, is in order. The Frontier, the quintessential NM restaurant, on Central at Cornell across from UNM, has good ones.
For those interested in road history, the OK Route 66 museum is in Elk City and the National Route 66 museum is in Clinton OK, both easily accessible off I-40.
BTW, we've driven across TX and OK dozens of times at 3-5 mph over the limit and never been stopped. I think you have a higher chance of getting a ticket in IL and IN.
