I drove from Great Lakes IL. to Chino Ca. in 36 hours and that was stopping just outside of Oklahoma city and sleeping for 7 hours at what could best be described as the Bates motel. I probably would have slept longer but some rednecks started doing there best WWF impression in the parking lot and woke me up so I just got back on the road. that was over 2100 miles in just under 29 hours of drive time. not a record but I think I made pretty good time.

you know it, I had an Ice chest in the back seat and a case logic full of good tunes. the only thing I was missing was the generic auto parts store dash mounted compass.
