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

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

I have had some thoughts about trailering... :P

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

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??

55 through populated areas, 65 in some areas, 75 in others.

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.
