    Atlanta to william's meet is only ~7 hours, assuming you are driving 0-5 mph over the speed limit. And probably only 4 hours from you to Atlanta.

    But yeah, reliable is good. As are spare parts and tools.

      8 hour drive to Madness would be sweet.
      Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

        What would your average speed have to be to accomplish this? Better get started.....

                  I haven't seen one for this year but I will take a look to see if I can find one. If not I can make one.

                          Pffft....simple for a twin-engine, quad turbo car. And your family members' weight will help keep the car stable.

                              I traditionally leave from San Diego, to make the journey a true coast to coast ordeal. From San Diego, I'd have to maintain a speed of 320mph in order to make it to Raleigh in 8 hours. I'm not sure my tires could withstand that.
