[RMXP] Looking for Help with Road Trip Scenes - Highway / Repeat BG?

Hi,
I'm pretty much new to RMXP and I'm trying to learn as I go in making my first game. I'm looking to do a few cross-country road trips in my game, so I'm looking for a few tips on how to do the events and cutscenes involved in this. But first I'm looking for sprites that will help me get started.

If anyone has highway bg's, sideview tiles for highway / road / bridge / etc, and also any info on a way to do a kind of cheesy effect like they used to have on old nes racing games, where the road kind of just telescopes and bends so it looks like you're turning even though you're only strafing on the screen, like Rad Racer and what not. I want it to look kind of cheesy but cool, and most of it will be cut scenes with dialogue you cycle through, not strict driving gameplay.

I do know I'm going to need a transition from day to night while the character drives on, probably east and west facing.
Oh, did I mention I have no idea how to 'script' this or whatever?

I'd be grateful if you can share any advice on making this happen, and if you have any sprites or game bg's that would work that'd be awesome.
