How far a trip is it for everyone? Just curious. It is further than I thought for me. It a trip of Possum proportions for me and Grace.

Total Estimated Time: Total Distance:
19 hours, 7 minutes 1092.08 mil

1280 miles = poSSum proportions.

Make a holiday of it!! We are!!

MapQuest times are way too conservative ... we can comfortably average 60-65 MPH including gas stops.

Hmmmmm, according to the Rand McNally Trip Planner, 1852 miles for a driving time of 26 hours, 54 minutes for Joey Red.

That's one box of Oreo's, approximately every 6 hours, 45 min. Of course, it depends on whether that's regular size or the COSTCO size boxes.

I looked it up on Yahoo maps the other day, and it looks like it is going to be about ~740 miles one way from good ole D/FW Tx. So about 12 hours, or more like 14 hrs since the wifey likes to take MANY pit stops. Get what I mean. Oh yeah, Is it September yet? I can't wait. By the way, I have a 30th anniversary SS and I was wondering if there was a big turnout of similar cars of mine last year?
