Wow, what a drive....

[fahrvergnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

Hmmm, I will pitch in my small experience...

Monterey Bay, CA., to Albuqurque, NM in 9 hours.  I hovered at about 85 most
of the way, except when the lawuh was around.  Fun drive, remember it well.
I would not want to run the risk these days, but I have 10 points ATM...

ok - my drive stories (not in scirocco's)

longest i can remember are -

Pittsburgh to Colorado Springs, nonstop, 3 drivers in a sedan - i
think 25hrs

lake charles, LA to pittsburgh, PA nonstop (except for gas and
waiting for fog to clear in tennesee for an hour or so), solo, then a
full day of work (8hrs - i think the drive was 21 or 22 hrs).
