I want to caravan but on a 700+mile drive I need to hunker down and put the pedal to the metal. No offense but doin the speed limit aint gonna cut it for me. Especially since I know that by the time I hit VA my back will already be screaming for relief.

This is where having a big comfy 4-door pays off :rofl2:

Gotcha. Well be careful and remember anything over 80 in VA is reckless, and radar detectors are illegal!

Woah...
We spent quite a bit of Kentucky at > 100mph the last couple years. :P I don't think anyone batted an eye.

Eep! He took the dragon with the trailer? I think I would have to bypass. heh. It would also take me much longer to get there and home since I would want to conserve some fuel... Probably no way I'll do that the more I think about it.

Yeah that doesn't fly here. I lead the cruise and usually keep us at 5 mph over, sometimes 7 if I'm feeling frisky. It's a PITA but I figure we just take our time and drive fast once we get there.

With so many loud sports cars in a caravan, even doing the speed limit attracts the local LEO's attention... and not in a good way. As much as it pains me to only do 5-7 over the limit in the caravan, would rather save the wild driving on some fun roads instead of in a straight line on the interstate :tup:

sig11 03-27-2012 12:51 PM

Right-o. We don't do more than a few mph over the limit in Ohio... (two years ago one of the guys got two tickets catching up to us. : )

Yeah I know the radar detector deal. Dont own one anyway. Over 80 a wreckless huh, damn. What are highway speeds in VA like??? Also, how long does the caravan usually take to get there??

From the Starbucks parking lot we meet up at, I think its about 540 miles start to finish. With stops for fuel and food, I think it was around 9.5-10 hours total last year?

Caravan takes something like 10 hours from FFX to Fontana.
