I have, it wasn't that bad, you should definitely go!

I drove my RIP '81 Mars red Scirocco from Bear, Delaware to Ft.
Lauderdale in 16 hours flat.

I drove between 75MPH and 105MPH, DEPENDING on traffic. and I had to slow
down 
to 55MPH twice for the State Troopers in South Carolina. 

I got there at 4AM, and I couldn't show up at my aunt's house at that
hour, 
so I drove around Ft. Lauderdale for a while killing some time.

As I'm cruising down the main strip at 25 MPH, I suddenly hear screeching
tires, I'm like WTF!, 
I look behind me and here is a flash of a Ford Escort spinning around,
right behind me as it continues across the blvd..
Apparently they blew through a stop sign at 35+ MPH, swerved to avoid me,
and went into a spin, never to be seen again...

Here I am, driving balls to the walls for 16 hours, without ANY problems,

and then I do 25MPH and my Scirocco is nearly totalled.

Getting psyched for CINCY!
