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.

No, I think it's possible. I've done it from MA to Jupiter, FL in just
about 25-26 hours.
It's just about 10 hours from my house to Annapolis, MD., so that leaves
roughly 15-16 hours.
Jupiter is much further south in Florida than where Harry is likely to have
driven .... about another additional 3 hour drive.
So, that leaves a difference of about 12-13 hours ..... very possible with
no construction or weather to deal with.

I've went from Jax, FL to western NY in 24, but I'm telling you, you
have to have the hammer down and you can't stop. And furthermore,
there's almost always something on I-95 to slow you down.

Something about 24 hours nonstop trips the BS detector. How big is the
fuel tank and what is your mileage? I presume you wear diapers.

When I was young I used to go from St. Pete Fla. To Springfield Mass in
26 hours. 8 hours driving, two hour nap, 8 more hours, 2 hour nap, 8
hours in... I did not break speed limits, I could not be late. IIRC, it
was 1325 miles, door to door...

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.

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.
