how 'bout you guys just use your cell phones for what they were originally meant for, TALKING?
I doubt anyone has a cell phone designed only for voice these days, old timer...

Just shy of 22 hours coming from Sarasota FL to northern NJ, I had two stops where I closed my eyes for like 10 minutes one time and about 20 minutes the next. I was SHOT when I was done.

lets see if you know what I'm talking about....

there's a several mile straight away just east of columbus that is the best place ever to test out top speed. it's concrete barriers all the way with no place for cops and 4 lanes wide so you can really hall.

i took a 700hp Viper up to 180 there!

From Greensboro NC down to Tampa Fl and back. I drove down to FL to pick up the car (about 630mi, 10hrs) then turned right around and drove back. So about 20hrs and ~1250mi at once.

Oops, lol I guess technically it was 10 hrs and 630mi not including the drive down, which was in a rental.

I know exactly what you're talking about... great spot. on the way to PA i thought about doing a lil top speed run but because it was a holiday weekend there were a lot of other cars around, and i was worried some moron in a minivan would cut me off or something. then on the way back... pouring rain + even MORE traffic...

still, got to enjoy the tunnels

Sault Ste. Marie, Canada to Thunder Bay, Canada. 453 miles in 9 or 10 hours. This is the entire northern coast of Lake Superior. My fiancee and I drove around Lake Superior in June 2007.
