It was a long damn drive to say the least. I chose a slightly middle route on Highway 40 aka Route 66 for a change of scenary. I did this with my '96 Cobra and my dog riding shotgun. <br /><br />Day 1: Bay Area to Flagstaff, AZ<br />Day 2: Flagstaff to Oklahoma City<br />Day 3: OKC to Ft Benning, GA<br />Day 4: Ft Benning to Orlando<br /><br />where I'm at now in Ft Benning, Mrytle Beach is 6 hours away, same distance to Orlando from here. My advice if you're gonna make the drive:<br /><br />- take I-10. Cops in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi didn't take kindly to the California plates and I was pulled over for BS reasons in each state. If you stay on a major Interstate, you won't be fucked with as much<br /><br />- radio + iPod = gift from god<br /><br />- preventive maintenance goes a long way. The Cobra was trouble free on the drive. Only casualty was a front wheel bearing by the time I hit Florida. Oh yeah, it rains like a mother fucker here in South during the summer so have a decent set of tires and wiper blades. It WILL rain during MW but it doesn't stop anything. Give it 30 minutes and it will pass<br /><br />- book your rooms in advance, it fills quickly. <br /><br />I'll be out there in my Mach 1 so I hope to see some California plated Mustangs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
