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!

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

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?

According to google maps, it is 9 hrs from FFX to Fontana, but you have to factor in stops for gas and lunch at Cracker Barrel.

Its a great drive though. We make stops for gas/food and it really breaks it up and you can enjoy the trip. I think we got in about 4:30PM last year which was perfect to get checked in and the grill going for dinner/brew!
