Driving to NY for thanksgiving
 

For the 25th time, Ill be driving back and forth from Florida and NY. Every year I say im not going to do that again..............................But a year or two will pass and I make the trip again.

Northern Virginia to Rockland County, NY is the worst. Has anyone made the northern trip in the last couple months that can inform me of the traffic patterns?
Thanks
Phil

Yeah, basically the traffic from about Washington DC all the way north into Maine,
SUX :thumbsdown:
Got a buddy coming up from Cape Coral next week, and I'll ask him how it was
and post his reply here whenever I get it. The Northeast corridor (DC to Boston) is
really the worst part. From Richmond, south, it's a lot more "pleasurable" to drive.

thanks
i know the drive 5 hours fro NY to tampa will be a parking lot hell:banghead::banghead:

Ill be in Rockland County, NY if you know anyone that wants their LS motor tuned while im in town.

My buddy is on the way back now. Just talked to him and he is in NC. He says that the traffic is not too bad, but that there are police everywhere! He said that he's never seen that many law enforcement people/cars in Georgia on ANY of his trips up and back. I'll talk to him again this weekend and get the entire picture.

If you can tune your car to do a trip from NY to Tampa in 5 hours, then we NEED to talk.....

Phil,
Where at in Rockland Co are you going? I went to school up there not to far up the Palisades Parkway and 9W between Bear Mountain State Park and Newburgh, NY. ;)

When we used to do that drive with the race rig (Frieghtlines Columbia based 40' toter with 32' Stacker, and 6' tounge was $12-14 ft over legnth already and that traffic took years of our lives every time.

Be safe Phil & see you when you get back. Happy Thanksgiving!

I grew up in New City, and used to get hammered at the bear mountain inn when it was $7.00 all you can drink.

Im going to my sister's house in Pearl River, NY. Just over the NJ border

Bob, Only if it was my home brew. That was the good old days in my 1979 Mag Red Z28. Blowing the doors off with 200 RWHP :lmao:
I do miss that body style

I would need taller boots to post in this thread. :lmao:

The Bear Mountain Inn brings back the memories. Although I spent a lot of time at Benny Havens Pub in Highland Falls too.

Now that I think about it 9W is a very scenic drive but coming back over that mountain with the grades, falling rock, and snow in winter made that drive crazy. And going as fast as I did trying to make it back before lights out makes me wonder how I survived a few of those trips.


Enjoy the trip and Happy Thanksgiving.

Had dinner with my buddy and he said "there are a lot of police out there, ESPECIALLY in Georgia. Marked......Unmarked........Sedans.......Suv's......they're using everything and anything".
He said that there was construction on 75 South of Tampa, and that the rest of the way
the whole way up to Connecticut was construction free. 75 to 4 to 95 to Massachusetts.
All in all, an uneventful drive, but be alert in Georgia.

Thanks navy. I gues it wont be a 45 minute drive again. lol

Out the door shortly

Have a safe, uneventful trip, dood! :thumbsup:

Not bad. 758 miles in 11 1/2 hours. Only traffic was just over the Georgia line into south carolina. Shut it down at Emporia, Va. Right on target

from Virginia tp NY sucked. 5 hour trip was 9 hours

time for a brew!!:dancer01:

Glad you had a safe trip. Maybe you can set the new land speed record coming back. :thumbsup:

:lmao::lmao:

That is why I don't care to live anywhere north of Richmond VA. I have lived in NC been to DC lived just north of Balitimore, lived in northern NJ and NY and it SUCKS and is too crowded. :thumbsdown:

glad you made it :thumbsup:

Don't miss the tolls either, do ya!

Not at all! Although I do use the suncoast to avoid 275 traffic and with the sunpass makes it more convienient.

It used to cost me $28 to cross the Tapanzee with the motor home and trailer going to E-Town. Seems like every place I went there were tolls.

Well that was a fun week. The drive home sucked. No traffic, Just sucked.

Back is sore, but my beer is cold:icon_cheers:

Glad you're back safely:thumbsup::dancer01:

Glad your back. where was the new signature photo taken?

Thanks guys.
The new photo was taken by the ower of camarostyle.com. I tuned his
2010 L99 A6 Camaro last month, and its the blue one in the picture. He also owners the twin turbo C6 in the picture. We are exchanging links on eachother's websites.

For additional exposure, last week I began to be a sponsor on three more forums and use that picture on each of them.

Im finding with the 5 year 100,000 mile warranty, Corvette guys are less likely to modify. The Camaro guys with the same warranty still want tunes.

But this forum will always be near and dear to me!:yesnod:
