6 Hours, 7 with the kiddies.
If I have ANY problem whatsoever getting through NYC, it goes up exponentially.

Go that way, really fast.
If something gets in your way, turn.

I think if you do 72-75 mph on I91 popping it up to 78 for short stints where you can see all around you it should be okay for no tickets. I never do more than 55 driving 103 or 100N. That's just begging for a ticket (or perhaps worse).

i dont drive up enough to really know anymore as far as vt troopers, but it seems like in mass and ct, they wont even put their donut down if you are under 85.

I think 80 for long stints is pushing it. They will pull ya over for that. I'm too cheap to take a chance.

Generally takes me about 8-9 hours door to door. :shock:

This includes 45 minutes waiting at the airport, 30 minutes picking up a rental car, 30-60 minutes for lunch/dinner and 30 minutes for food shopping.

But once at K, I can probably beat Bubba! :D

3+ hrs. if my girlfriend is with me -- "oh, can you stop so I can get some coffee?" and then the inevitable 30 minutes later: "I need to stop and use the bathroom." :roll: Women.

It sems like you live near me, and that you might take a route that shaves a little time off yours. Depends on exactly where you start from.

from bergen county to sunrise it was about 5 hours +... but some times under that if we made good time. That was in a 82 325i 4cyl 5spd. The last two years before we moved my dad had a durango, not sure if that made the trip much quicker though..... that bmw was a god damn beast... Never got stuck for 14 years untill we went up w/multi seasons one year , oh yea thats when killington started plowwing the road up to sunrise and well, didnt. :roll:

I was thinking it would probably take me 4-5 days from where i'm at now.... i'd probably get a new crate 350 before that happens too
