Breaking For Home

Tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to do 400 miles in 5 hours. I'm not sure I can do it on one tank; it'll be close. I've already informed Brer Wife that she isn't allowed to drink anything after 8:00 pm. tonight.

I'll have a bucket onboard, just is case.

Have a great time and a safe trip. I'd be interested to know if you make the 5 hour time line.
We went to Orlando in October and made it home (usually 8 hours) in a record breaking 6 and a half. Not sure I could have made it any quicker than that but it was fun trying and damn I was ready to be home.
Y'all be safe!

Sam, you gotta be a glutton for punishment. I can only imagine how rough those last 100 miles can be with a woman in the car who needs a bathroom.

Oy!!!

Wear a condom, dude! Piss N Drive, man. But I have a sawbuck says holiday traffic is your undoing. 5:45 at best.

I've done Crystal Coast to Columbus in 10.5, but just make sure there's no teenage girl stowaway's on board. They have to stop to pee at every off ramp.

I never thought of that. Whizzing in a condom....you're a genius!

I just did 350 miles in just over 5 hrs, but we stopped twice. So, it can possibly be done. Good luck and be safe. There are a lot of amateurs out there.
