Done it in 3 from the tollway and frankford exit. I was doing 110 for about 30 mins in my civic right before you get to centerville though.

Yeah, we made it to Dallas in about 4 hours. We did however stop a couple of times on the way there. Once was to wait for Nancy.

Did it in 3.75 hours with my V6 accord between 100-105MPH. With my box ummmm....4 hrs. I was able to keep up with a Mini Cooper though at 105 MPH at one point until my radar beeped.

Were talking about straight down 45S right? Because it takes me about 4hrs doing the speed limit plus stopping for a few in centerville.

We did it in 2.5 hours following a BMW 7-series....through the rain and traffic--no stops...hahahaha...(actually from Dallas to Houston we stopped to check out the Houston Downtown Aquarium--so counting the 30-40 mins from there to the Hotel...it took us about a total of 3 hours)...

The way back was a different story...we left with 5 boxes and it took 4 hours--1 stop @ sonic...(those 4 hours btw...were very interesting...Scott took on a HUGE Ford Truck after it cut off Melissa....someone needs to get Scott some ***** for his box--hahahaha)
