ok i got to drive home and back today. its ~220 miles 1 way. so that?s 440 miles. And i need to do it in under 8 hours without getting arrested? think ill be able to pull this off?

and I cant just drive 80 the whole way. also of it is crap roads and ones that go through towns and are highly watches by the popo


UPDATE*****
i pulled it off. i left here bout 145 got to my house at 545. with 1 stop for gas and 1 pee break. back on the road at 605 got back here at 940. 20 mn before T3 Started. :)

T3 wasent all that bad. definitly not as good as teh first 2 but still good IMO

440/8 = 55 (mph). It's doable only if you take minimal rest stop breaks and don't kill any time once you get there.

Why only 8 hours? Drug run or something?

Yeah probably. As MichaelD pointed out you'd have to average at least 55 mph and not spend any time when you get there. How much of the roads are > 55 mph?

Haha "popo" :D

wellim gonna say that half are 65 roads and teh rest are 55 or slower. i know it sounds liek its cake but it usiallytakes about 3.5-4 hours with 1 stop driving normally. ive done it in less then 3 before but that was at 330am and i drove about 80 teh whole way

Lemme get this straight.

You are going to drive a Porsche, like a madman, risk tickets and accidents to get there and back in 8 hours so YOU WON'T BE LATE GOING TO A MOVIE W/FRIENDS?

Your priorities are a bit mixed up. But hey, good luck anyway.

I say do it. Three quotes come to mind:

"We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." -Charles Bukowski

"Time is like a briefcase, some can fit more in than others." -Unknown

"It is not a risk if you get away with it." -SN

Isn't a Porsche the same thing as "Please pull me over officer and give me a ticket"?

If you were driving a beater, than yeah go for it. With a Porsche, cops get a boner trying to pull you over.

Hmm.. why not just keep the car and drive it home another time? If you're rushing (that's a big IF) then you're putting your life and everybody on the road in danger. I say just go to the movies in your porsche and be happy, then have a friend take a road trip with you home.
