I rarely drive long distances in a car...as, for example, from Maryland to
Florida. I have better things to do with my time than waste two days on
the interstate.

Ah, but with a BMW you could make that trip in about 16 hours.

I've made it in 12.

Bull****.

DC to Jacksonville is about 700 miles. You could probably do that in
12 hours without breaking the speed limit.- Hide quoted text -

Harry doesn't live in DC.

So? He doesn't live in jacksonville, either. From his driveway to the
Florida boarder may be LESS than the distance I allowed.

Meanwhile your tale of driving non-stop from JAX to western upstate NY
in 24 hours is positively hilarious.- Hide quoted text -

What's hilarious about it? My cousin, a truck driver, has done it in
21 hours several times with his '67 Impala SS.
If you take a look here, total driving time is 16 hours.

Yeah, but ONLY if there are no other cars on the road the whole way
down and all construction has been completed and cleaned up!- Hide quoted text -

Mapquest is usually pretty close. Just completed a trip to St. Louis
and back and we pretty close.

I-95 down the east coast is not remotely comparable to driving to St.
Louis

Mapquest estimates don't necessarily take a lot of things into account
that matter quite a bit.

What year was it when your brother allegedly made it in 21 hours?- Hide quoted text -

Never said my brother made it anywhere in 21 hours.

Excuse, me. Your COUSIN. With all the inbreeding I didn't think it
made much difference.

And I also never

said that driving down I-95 was like driving to St. Louis.

It was the example you used to try and illustrate your point.

But, seeing
how you apparently are clueless, both are mostly interstate driving,
both are mostly rural open road with some cities sprinkled in, both
have comparable speed limits on comparable roads.

Yep, NYC is barely more than a cow town. The speed limit in that area
is irrelevant, as you may spend an hour moving 100 yards at times.

It's pretty obvious you have never made the trip yourself.- Hide quoted text -

psssst, you don't go through NYC to get to either Maryland OR western
NY. BUT, alas, I've driving through, around, and in NYC many times.
There's worse places.
