This one is my monthly trip without being lost in dark country roads w/o GPS part. After 4 hrs every minute counts double lol.
Friends and family think im a free mechanic but as you can tell this trip is far far from free I dont think they really understand the favors Im doing for them.

Driving directions to Cartersville, GA
Distance: 402.57 miles— Time: 6:04 h
And thus the reason Im not rolling less than 70 on the hiway.
Yall can sit in a car for as long as ya want not me!
I like having more reaction time in case of emergencies. However, I've only gone on a 250+ mile (One way) trip once (Update, 2013-09-14 - And I was the passenger for that 500+ mile two way trip) so perhaps my opinion would change if I went on such trips more often.

But for now, "Turtle"!
