Drove from Albany to myrtle beach with just two stops for gas in a 2010 black crown Vic rental. People sure move out of you way when your haulin as in one of those. We drove a third of the way thru Virginia with the pedal to the floor, 115 mph is all we could muster out of that stock crown Vic. Fun trip had a hell of a time while there. For plane travels, my wife and I flew to the Dominican republic for our honeymoon. A made good friends with many cohiba cigars. ---

When I was in college I drove from VT to Tampa, FL several times and my best time was 22 hours. That’s when I could handle caffeine, cigarettes and sleep deprivation like a boss. Now I need an afternoon nap after a trip to Walmart. ---

I drove 2600 miles from here to Tucson Arizona 3 times now, 2001, 2002, and 2009. I loved it! The first was driving a 1994 S10 with 200K+ miles, 4 cylinder stick towing a trailer! Second time was driving a 28’ U-haul towing a car on a dolly. The last time was in a 1999 Cavy with my oldest son. Took me 3 days each time because I stopped before dark and got a hotel for the night. Good times for sure! ---

4 years ago I bought my swapped wagon in Cali. I flew into LAX and drove back to NY in 3 days. Through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and the rest of the way back to NY. The next year on Easter I drove the STi from NY to Seattle and left it with my buddy who built the motor. Took i-90 the whole way. Same year in Oct. Flew back out and drove her back (all 500WHP). Used i-94 that time to change it up. Each trip was a quick three day jaunt. It’s a lot easier when you’re heading West and you get an extra hour each day to drive. Heading East you check into a hotel at what you think is 10pm but then you realize it’s 11pm… ---

Not much time either and I cant afford to take several days off from work and pay for a trip to some random place. Someday Id love to drive across the country but thats just not possible right now. Seems to me like Boston was 3 hours but I was driving a rented Kia minivan loaded up with people and shit and driving fairly easy, not going fast. Worcester is 2.5 or a little less and Ive gone there the last 4 years. ---

Fuck, I forgot about driving to PA a few times, over 4 hours one way. Ive been to Ben Salem (not even sure if its on the map) to get the 5 speed swap for my shitty car and then to Cabela’s in Harrisburg, once riding, once driving. Ive also driven to Cabela’s in CT on the U-Conn campus. I think thats around 3 hours away. Somehow those slipped my mind. ---
