Yea I don't blame you for making it two days lol cause last year i made the mistake of making a 16hr straight trip to Chicago. 8 hours there and 8 hrs back in the same day and i said never again will i do all that driving in the same day. And to make it even worse it was snowing most of the drive there and back. It sucked.

I couldn't afford to stop on mine it was gas and dollar menus the whole way cause it was a unexpected trip. I was being nice and picking up a family member that wanted to come out here for their Christmas Break Last year. Left at 7am and got back at 3 or 4 am the next day doing 10 over most of the way.

When I drive alone it takes me 8 hours with only stops for gas, eat on the way in the car. Last year I think I was on the road about 11 hours with more stops to meet up with people but made the journey much more fun. I know Smurf had to drive 3-4 more hours past that and Al and Randy made it from Southern Cali and had a blast. Distance is not the best excuse but people should try to make it at least once.

Im not in the best standings with some people, but hopefully that will be worked out.. I would like to see about possibly going, but it will all depend on where I am at in my life when this comes along. But for now, I'm a possible yes! Won't have an alero, but I will drive up the explorer to hang with friends.
